Weihrauch

(15)
"You’ll own it for life and they’re great guns."
"I can highly recommend any one of the weihrauch springer rifles, they are all extremely good quality."
"A classic, totally resalable if you don't like it, no pump cost, includes suppressor and scope, a no brainer."
"I would not like to be shot in the face with it. It will easily slow down anyone in such a scenario."
"Giles Barry of the Airgun Gear Show declared the Weihrauch HW99S as the "best beginner airgun.""
"The Weihrauch HW30 from Krale/Mundilar."
"You can buy almost any used weihrauch (hw30, 35, 50, 55..."
"You're definitely looking in the right direction with Weihrauch springers, also worth considering Air Arms and Walther."
"I prefer Weihrauch or Air Arms for springers."

"Hatsan Airtact without question."
"I found a hatsan airtact on sale for $100 at basspro over the summer."
"Nice model imo"
"Original avenger, hatsan bullboss."
"Also Hatsan hercules in 9mm would do"
"The Hatsan 44AT-10 QE is looking pretty good"
"Grab the .22/.25 they’re the same price"
"Pick that up and add the bundled Optima 3-9x40 AO scope option at the bottom in the drop down menus."
"Hatsan 95 is the 125's little brother, still plenty powerful, but smaller and lighter and cheaper."
