As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

Many Congrats Fantum ! That's a great looking gun .. and seems to be on everyone's wishlist including mine !
Btw where did you order it from ? I was under the impression that most of the suppliers were out of stock.
Mid-May was the the earliest that they expected stock.

Hey Fantum,

Excellent pick :) Just awesome! where did you buy it from? How much did it cost you?

Great gun m8, been hunting with HW'S from last many years , when i was in italy. Wud luv to iMport HW80K & HW95K if possible.

Apart from Weihrauch two other good gunmakers are BSA and Diana. I also like the BSA Supersport and Linghting XL as well. Excellent guns both of them.

38 spl

Thanks for the comments. Agree that BSA and Diana are great brands but quite frankly its full stop for me for a long time on getting another airgun. After all what is more to it than owning what is definitely one of the top three air rifles in the world. I did fancy the open sight cousin of the Lightning XL, the Supersport XL, particularly for its over all length and shape of the raised cheek piece on the stock.

Why go for the K version of the HW80 or the HW95 ? Go for the standard barrel versions. The longer barrel aids accuracy at longer ranges but be warned, unlike the HW97 and 77, the 80 and 95 need good, consistent hold technique to shoot with consistent accuracy.

Hi Sudesh,

Really yearning to get her down to your place and showing her off to you chaps. Unfortunately sitting in the capital without all my loved ones.
