Anybody ever heard of/owned one of these...


...I have my eye on one, if I get some good feedback, I could add it to my list of things to buy.

No pic - but I presume you are referring to the Weihrauch HW66 or suchlike if I remember the no. correctly. - a match-style bolt-action. These do seem to shoot quite well, and are not so expensive as an Anschutz. Still, my rifles are supposed to have block actions, so....

Not in hornet - but I do have one in .22LR. It's nicely made and finished, but really quite heavy for what it is. Also trigger is 2-stage - not to everyone's taste. If you want a hornet because it's light & handy, I would be more inclined to look at a Brno.

They have a fine reputation in Europe and are noted for their target type arms, especially airguns. The quality of those I have seen has always be first rate, maybe not an Anshutz, but someone has to keep them on their toes. Only major problem, lack of a steady importer.
