Re: My name is Lewis and I want to help!
I thought the 25 was out of production, it's not listed on HW's website, they start off with the 30.
But then I noticed the Gunroom has them ????

Re: My name is Lewis and I want to help!
Absolutely!!
They’re little cuties and I even have Maccari springs for them!!!
The 25L runs Beeman P1/ HW45 pistol internals
That’s how little they are!

Re: My name is Lewis and I want to help!
Looking at the reviews (inc gunroom) they say the 25 is neither particularly accurate not powerful enough to kill a rat :/LWR58 wrote:The two best new airguns are the Weihrauch HW25L and the HW30S
The 25L is tiny and will get Lillian going for quite s few years until she’s big enough for the 30S
Then Hamish can use the 25L
That’s how it goes
Both are superb all metal German construction built to last forever
Both have auto safeties which is essential to protect fingers
You can but cheaper but they won’t last and there are usually no spares
Hope this helps
Lewis
Any reason i shouldnt just start with the 30?
Shooting is a bit like fishing, no fun if you get nothing for your efforts. (And whilst I'm trying to avoid the requirement for instant gratification that today's children seem to have, starlings and rats are the targets intended)

Re: My name is Lewis and I want to help!
The 25L is a fair bit smaller and lighter than the 30S that’s why I suggested it at the moment
It will shoot around 600FPS with the lightest pellets and that will give you around 500FPS at10M
I wouldn’t like to cop a pellet from it!!!
Of course the 30S is a better choice and not that much more expensive
It gains another 100FPS and a far better trigger
It’s more adult than the 25 by a long way
You could use it comfortably too
I can also install a Maccari spring kit and scoping is easy
Definitely go the 30S!!!

Re: My name is Lewis and I want to help!
Well, I know my profile says we are in Tas but we are imported stock.
no weedy weaklings here, so I'm happier to have a little more kick than less accuracy/target mortality.
I'm 5'8" and Shauny is well over 6"... Hamish (at not quite 4yo) is bigger than many of the, ah, locally bred 6yo boys. Lillie is also going to be taller than me I'd wager.
I think I'll have a bit more of a look at the 30... and we can go directly to the .22 wmr from there. (With subs, maybe to start)
It's all how you hold her, eh?

I just packed everything away but I was thinking of posting some photos
I don’t want to come across as a wanker though
I don’t have any particular ego

I was going to say you can take it to the bank if it's from Lewis . Then I thought of what banks are like and I don't want to do a mate a disservice.
