Not a stock weihrauch. Has spring kit for a reason and trigger was pulled apart and polished. Has had seals replaced in less than year. Breach seal just fell out and wouldn't grip again.
So you can add another 300± bucks by time got spring kit and seals on top of price to get it running like that.
Thats around $1500 without scope it cost me for gun.

Oh and for that price the bluing also started to wear out on cocking lever within a couple of months.
Yep they shoot good. But its put me off them.
More hype around them than deserve I think.
A newbie would have had to spend more sending it away to get stuff done.
Thats the truth of that gun.

Oh and original spring broke into 3 pieces

Clap

Someone once told me "the best you've ever tried is the best you'll ever know"

That's why some of us bemoan the fact that the big dealers push newbies into air rifles that don't perform very well with the promise that they're something they’re not.  I'm sure that's why we lose a lot of those people from long term participation in the wonderful world of airgun ownership.

I now know why there's folks that rave about these.
Kruzaroad fitted a TBT tuning kit to the one I bought off him and that thing is a laser.
Shot some groups at 20m last night to continue the learning stage with this rifle and the last 2 groups were 3.6 and 3.7mm CTC one holers.
The Hatsan I had, the two Gamo's I've got, neither of them, in my hands, at least, were or are capable of that and they're not bad rifles, just never, ever, that good.
Anyone got an HW95 with a synthetic stock they'd part with?
