go to pyramydair.com, air rifles, weihrauch and then they are on the page next to the rifles.

hmm.... i never really thought that the weight of the gun would be an issue, but 9 pounds for the 77 is a bit much, even if it has an extra 100 fps.

If you're shooting from standing or carrying the rifle around, the weight can be a bit of a disadvantage - on the other hand, when a rifle is too light, it's much less steady and accuracy tends to suffer, particularly given the recoiling nature of springers.

edit: the HW95 is also sold in the US as the beeman R9 (same rifle, different name) so you might want to look it up to get an idea of US based impressions of the rifle.

Some meaningful velocity tests with different pellets (not just oooh! 1000 fps! yeah! sort of advertising) can be found >>here<<.

so far I've only seen good reviews, and it's relatively cheap.

I'd be wary of anything advertised only for its velocity (without quoting pellet weight) and whose group sizes are mentioned only at 10 yards :?
