Something that has authority applied to it based off perceived ideals of those who follow blindly, but has no actual real merit over other entitys, except for those who follow blindly.😛<br /> So i guess the name fits. <br /><br /><br /> ]]>

But the Gamo.25 that's advertised here, though good enough, is not a lifetime rifle.</div><div>The 3 Weihrauchs I have are finely crafted precision machines and a joy to use.&nbsp; I've got seals, both for the breech and the piston, coming for both of them, and a Slim Jim pump kit, connectors and a gauge also on the way and when the HW90's I have are running at their full potential, they'll be almost as accurate as the HW97 that prints 1 hole groups.</div><div>The Weihrauch build quality is something else, matched by a small few others, and the triggers are fantastic on all 3, even though they are vastly different.</div><div>I've never regretted buying quality in any firearm, and air rifles are no different, apart from the lack of actual fire, of course.</div><div>Lots of good buggers on here with plenty of good advice.&nbsp;</div>]]>
