Hi Chuck!, I finally got the new Beeman R-7 this afternoon, and starting out, it only took me 5 shots to zero at 15 yards, then worked my way back to 20 yards so far until the sun got in my eyes...I put a Hawke 2x7x32 scope on it, and used RWS hobby 7.00 grain pellets.. awesome accuracy! I had a great time shooting, Thank you for your wonderful videos, and remember Jesus loves us all.
I have a .177 HW30s doing 8ftlb, tested with JSB RS at 700fps (basically the same sort of trajectory as a sub 12ftlb .22 air rifle). I've found JSB/AA Express and Daystate Kaiser (H&N FTT 4.51mm) to be the best pellets for accuracy in mine. I've got a 2-7x32 Hawke Airmax scope on it. I agree! It's the best plinker ever!...... and you're right sir, we are living in a very dark time and few seem to notice or care.
Happy independence day chuck from Wales. Nice video we might call it a junior rifle or beginner rifle but that puts a stigma on it. It's a nice rifle and accurate as you had shown plus it's lighter to carry for hrs whilst stalking I don't like labeling budget. Junior it's what suits you and your happy with regardless what others think. Keep up the good work. Alan
with a no name "high performance spring" from sws/germany my 4,5mm hw30s is over 10J, around 10,5J (a bit over 7 foot pounnds) and very accurate. I use a hawke 3-9x40 with a short gamo monoblock mount. I mostly shoot cheap but accurate hn exite hammer or lightweight and hard hitting hw zink pellets. One of my favorite spring rifles. Often I want to shoot some less pellets, but than it takes hours before I finish shooting ;-)
Happy to see you back Chuck hope you had a good 4th! I’m pleased to tell you that after a lot of TLC I got my HW 50S shooting great. Complete tear down, debur, vortek kit and I found the pellet. I’m now getting just at 800 FPS with 8 something grain pellets and dime sized groups at 25 and just shy of an inch at 35 with a slight hold over. Great gun. Unfortunately the barrel is bent so I’ll be keeping it scoped.
Thank you Nick 🙂👍. Glad that your 50 is shooting good, to bad about the barrel. I'm sure someone could straighten it, but that is taking a chance also.
Happy independence day Chuck. It looks like you had fun with the HW30. Great shooting and some very wise words as always. I had hoped the dam problem would have been sorted by now. Loved the bloopers! Take care.
The HW 30 was my first Weihrauch air rifle and I still love it today. It is so easy to cock and when I get it out I use an excessive amount of pellets. Mounted is a Weihrauch 3x9 40. love your videos!!!
I use the ultra dome's on my cheap hatsan 900 breaker and it's pretty true to 20 yds through the iron sight's it deal's with the rat's no problem Good video take care
Awesome video Chuck! Looks like you got some nice weather there! Great shooting with that hw30, you can really hear how smooth that shot cycle is. Hope you had a great independence day! Did you catch any more fish?
Hey Chuck, Happy Independence Day, GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, and Thank you for your service and sacrifices on our behalf. As you know, I have had the honour and privilege to have known many service men and women. And you also know that I am a Taiwanese American. More than 200 US MARINES, are presently stationed overseas training Taiwanese military personnel in coordinating defensive forces in the event of a Chinese invasion. ALMIGHTY AND MERCIFUL FATHER, Please continue to BLESS YOUR FAITHFULNESS SERVANTS, THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, with YOUR GRACE, LOVE, and PROTECTION, that they may be the INSTRUMENT OF YOUR WILL, and that their actions are guided by YOUR FAITHFULNESS. May they all return safe and sound, knowing that their time in service is appreciated by a grateful nation. In Jesus' Holy Name I pray. Amen.
pcp accuracy with a spring, that's not a dream, Weihrauch rifles are absolutely on top, hopefully one day I'll try air arms, I'm really curious if there is a difference in accuracy, great job sir! 👍🏻👍🏻
Fishing and shooting airguns are two of my favourite hobbies, doing both at the same time is genius. I love the HW30S, is it the best plinker ever? Well, that's subjective of course but for me the answer is... YES! Mine is a .22cal, produces ~8ftlb and likes Webley Mosquito Express 14.35gr.
I wish I had one. I`m waiting on a Hatsan Airtact 22 for a horrible armadillo problem in my garden but disgusting FedEx keeps screwing up delivery. I bought a Daisy 880, two driveway alarms, and two trail cams to alert me to these beasts destroying my vegetables but the Daisy doesn`t drop them. It has helped reduce their activity. I put up two Onite LED bulbs powered by either power banks or small solar power stations to see them when the alarms go off because they`d run when I shined a light on them. Can`t afford to pay much on a fixed income lately if I want to eat meat or eggs.
@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 I`m being very nice to all the bunnies and even planted lots of extra bush green beans and romaine lettuce for them so they`ll nest here and have lots of babies. One of them is very friendly. I wish I could mark her or indentify her accurately at night when I hunt them next winter. She isn`t afraid of me at all and sometimes hops over within feet of me when I`m in the garden.
Nice shooting. People who don't realize that we're in a battle of good vs evil, either aren't paying attention or don't want to know. Only God can save us.
What do you think of the HW30S Urban Pro. It seems to come with a sound suppressor and optic. I’m trying to decide between the Urban Pro and regular version. Thanks
@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 Would the regular version in .177 be quiet enough for an Suburban back yard(target shooting) vs the suppressed Urban Pro?

@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 yeah. They have been out of stock at Krale for a couple months now in .177. Same with AoA. I’m on the email notification
I got myself a hw 30 a while ago a friend tuned it for me , as good as HWs that were professionally tuned imo, used it with open sites until my eyes couldn't do what they did 😂 anyway great little rifle, only killed paper not pests, over the years i have lost my permission properties which are as rare as rocking horse poop here in the U K , i picked up on the fact that you feel your country is sliding down the slippery slope same as here , we are being invaded most days from chancers from who knows where it won't be long until are backs will be to the wall then who knows? Stay safe 😊
Does the hw 30 have the same double link cocking arm as the hw50. The hw50 feels just like it requires the same cocking effort as my hw95 but with less power. I have no idea why Weirhuach ever decided to use a different cocking mechanism for its smaller rifles
I recently bought the hw50s and found that it was shooting reaaally harsh and loud. After inspection and cleaning I finally decided to cut coils off the spring till it felt better, in total I removed 5 coils and flattened the end again. It’s now at exactly the same power but way easier to cock and it has a way calmer shot cycle as well…
Im going to have to try that with mine. The 50 i have is shooting a little harsher than expected. It seems the 95 and 97 have just the right balance of cocking effort = to shooting power
@@brianb5505 give it a shot:) it’s not hard to take apart, the hardest part is heating up the spring-ends and flattening them, I did it on my gas furnace:) I’m tempted to take another coil off to see when the power starts actually dropping:)
Will this penetrate the skin of a deer? I have a problem with them eating my trees and I don't want to hurt them. Only scare them away. I tried paint ball but the accuracy is hideous. The distance is about 80 yards.
@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 out of the box mine was doing 7.5ftlb, with a new fitted spring guide and a Brit Seal piston seal it went to 8ftlb 700fps with JSB RS. I read that the .22 can reach up to 9ftlb. Regardless of power, 6ftlb, 7ftlb, 8ftlb, whatever, it's a lovely rifle and very accurate.
@@tylernew4164 yes we see you in the news very often, where your schools and cops get shot. I’m sure you’re very proud of your culture, but no one outside the US is jealous I can assure you😂
I took your advice and bought a brand new .177 HW30. By far, the worst air rifle I own. Around 700 to 800 pellets through it, and still won't shoot less than a three inch group at ten meters. Some groups as large as six to eight inches. I have tried open sights, different scopes, different mounts. Nothing works. I own several Diana rifles that shoot extremely well. Perhaps I have to shop for a Chinese rifle to replace the HW.
Check to make sure that the stock and scope mount screws tight. Try different and high quality pellets? If none of those things work, send it back. Lastly, I don't build them, I just share my experience with them. This morning I was doing some extreme tack driving with my HW30s. BTW, I tuned mine, super sweet great shooter.
@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 Thanks for the reply. I really enjoy your channel. I have tried about fifteen different brands and weights of pellets including match. It always seems to throw at least three shots way out of the group. It does the same with the open sights. I sent it back and they could find nothing wrong with it. I split cards standing with my Diana 34 and 24. Can't do it from a rest with the HW30. Maybe I'll try tuning. It really is a nice gun to shoot, if I could just hit something with it. Maybe I'm just getting old.
@@alannorrhi:) The hw30s and all other weihrauch rifles for that matter have a cult following for decades and decades, if your hw30s is inaccurate there’s definitely something off with it. It’s true that the stockscrews and barrelhinge bolts need some locktite:) I keep going back to this little gem even with high end pcp’s at my disposal. Hope you find out what’s wrong!
Thanks for your reply. I sent the rifle back for repairs, they could find nothing wrong with it. In fact they sent a couple targets back with it, both with acceptable groups. I let friends shoot this rifle, my wife shot this rifle, all with acceptable groups. As a mater of fact, I have two of these rifles, and neither one will shoot for me for some reason. I have several Diana rifles and they shoot fine for me. How I wish the HW 30 liked me. It is a very nice rifle to shoot, but every time I try, it is the same old story. However, my wife has claimed it, and enjoys shooting it. Happy ending, sort of.
@@alannorr that’s interesting. Did you try different types of holding the rifle? I notice with mine a light hold is key, no hard gripping, soft cheekweld and only shooting from the hand or a soft bag for the rifle to rest on. Once in a while I take off the scope to shoot open sights and it’s always jawdropping to me being able to hit a bottle cap at 15meters without a scope😛
It is the best plinker ever. I just purchased the HW30 and HW50 last month my first foray into springers. I own a variety of quality PCP's like P-rod, Notos, 3 Hubens, HW44, etc. No pump, easy peasy to cock, accurate, I love it.
I’ve watched a lot of pellet gun videos. This is one of the better ones I’ve seen, despite the lack of target cam. I just purchased this gun.
