Pelletier. There has been some interest in the Beeman HW9. Mk III from the CF- X guy and from POYANCO, plus it’s such a nice spring gun that it really deserves a mention. I’m also going to touch on the HW7. I personally like even better! The HW9. 7 is a BIG airgun! If you thought the Gamo CF- X was big, this Weihrauch should change your mind. ![]() Although it’s just a half- inch longer, it’s more than a full pound heavier, and the cocking effort is 3. However, the HW9. It’s the CF- X that’s the lightweight. Some of the extra weight is due to the Weihrauch’s wood stock, but the powerplant is also larger in diameter, and that, in turn, means the stock has to be broader. PLEASE NOTE: We update our Second Hand Section on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When ordering a used item, if there are any issues with availability, we.
The 9. 7 will feel very large to shooters accustomed to the CF- X. No open sights on the 9. You must scope this rifle because there is no provision for open sights. Weihrauch figured everyone was taking the sights off the HW7. At the level this rifle sells, shooters are almost entirely scope users. That’s not to say there aren’t a few who would like open sight options, but they don’t come on the HW9. Be VERY careful with that sliding breech! Both the HW7. 7 and 9. Where Air Arms, Diana- RWS and even the Chinese put elaborate anti- beartrap mechanisms on their sliding- breech rifles, Weihrauch has used just the standard crossbolt safety. It blocks only the trigger and has nothing to do with the sliding breech. If that safety fails to engage when the rifle is cocked, and I’ve seen that happen, a touch on the trigger will send the sliding breech forward with the force of a guillotine! Anyone who adjusts their trigger to a very light release weight on this model is just asking for a digit amputation, UNLESS they practice the safety procedure of never letting go of the cocking handle until the rifle is loaded. First, it keeps their other hand occupied so it can’t stray to the trigger, and second, if the gun does fire, there is a hand holding the sliding breech in place. The Rekord trigger. Speaking of triggers, the Rekord trigger on the 7. It is the all- time classic spring rifle trigger. Only on PCPs will you find a crisper, lighter trigger, and they only hold back about 1. The M11 A3 grenade is an inert training grenade produced in 1942 to simulate the M9A1 rifle grenade used at that time. The M9A1 is identical in shape and size but.The Rekord is adjustable from outside the gun and can be set to release with a very crisp pull. It’s a good reason to buy a Weihrauch. Accuracy. The HW7. Until the TX2. 00 came along, only the FWB1. I did not find my 9. I knew how much Crosman Premiers leaded the bore. I shot them exclusively back then, and it may have been my 9. There is no reason why an HW9. Mk. III would be any less accurate than an HW7. To summarize. Either the HW9. HW7. 7 are wonderful spring- air rifles that most shooters would be delighted to own. The stock on the 9. HW7. 7 Mk II sold under the Beeman name is more compact, though not much lighter. Compared to a Gamo spring from 1. CF- X, they are only somewhat better. Both are classics, and both have the world- famous Rekord trigger that every airgunner should have the chance to try at least once in his lifetime.
