Hi Shane, the Hawke 3-9 x 50 AO mildot is all the air rifle scope you will ever need - I got mine from Draper gun shop - £65 posted a couple of years ago (Rebecca Draper is very knowledgeable, as well as the rest of the team) Includes Fastmounts to suit.
@@beverleyweightman4437 A trick I learned with mine is not to hold the rifle too tight. Let the front and back rests do the work. Also don't pull it hard into your shoulder. It is a very accurate rifle once you get to know it.
@Shaun Wild Yes, the artillery hold, how you should shoot all spring guns. I rest my hand underneath the forend, I don't grip it and only just touching my shoulder.
Great to see your videos again 👏 I have pcps since I was 15 ,but looking on getting a springer now ,looking at the LGU now to order ,think am falling in love with the springers again
I love a lot about pc,s but they are so good and accurate that I get bored shooting them after 20 mins , If I was a hunter I would definitely own and use one , thanks Shane
Great grouping Shane I’m trying mine out tomorrow at the club tomorrow had the Mk 1way back in the late 90s the Mk 2 is what I’ve got now the Mk3 seems a longer gun.
Nice little gun that mate. Ive had a HW 99s about 4 years now, Always been very accurate & I love it . Bit twangy when new but I fitted a TBT kit after about 1000 rounds & fixed that. I reckon you new budget gun will be either a Gamo or a Remmington Express.
Correct Derek the second guess , express ,,, cheers for the comment and thanks for the reply , gonna get a scope tomorrow or Saturday , so another vid coming soon cheers buddy , Shane
Quite entertaining video indeed. I've got the hw57 myself and it is a lot of fun to shoot. I am always amazed at the quality/price relationship. Considering the quality I would normally expect higher prices than that but this must be because the manufacturer Weihrauch in Mellrichstadt is a private company and not a corporate entity owned by greedy shareholders. Like pretty much all Weihrauchs, the hw57 is a diva and demands everything: proper breathing (pulling the trigger whilst breathing out) and constant resting and hand position but that's part of the fun. I envy you for the distance you have available as I myself am limited to 15 meters at home but that's ok. 😊
Great video, thanks. I've just bought the same gun so it was reassuring to see it perform so well. In the 10 months you've had it, which pellets have been the best in it? Liked and subscribed.
Sorry if I’ve jumped the gun so to speak as I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but I’ve noticed you change your hand position and where you place your rifle on your bag. This will effect accuracy greatly. Springers need consistency to be consistent 👌🏻 Good shoot though by the way but it can only get better. Good to see you back to mate👍🏻
In my younger days I used to have a Weirauch HW35E,loved it but out all day in the fields/woods it would start to feel heavy after about 6-7hours on the go. Just a thought and I might be wrong(its years since i had an airgun) but is'nt it illegal to shoot within 100yrds of a public footpath or highway? Great video by the way.
I'd still put my 45 odd year old .22 Webley Vulcan Springer fitted with my (New) Hawke 3-9 x 50 AO mildot scope up against it!! It was a £100 Gun at the time, which more than compares IMHO.
Might still get a similar price, seeing AAR & Drapers have seemingly gone separate ways!! (they've clearly had words) Hence his swing towards Vector Arms?? (UA-cam is full of liars re bungs etc)
Hi Shane ime nigel I follow your shooting I have a gx40 pcp for sale or swop its like the phox ime after a hw 99s if you hear of one for sale or swop mine comes with a air tank mint condition
You don't seem to practice safe rifle handling letting go of the clocking lever putting your fingers in the breach not keeping your rifle pointing down range when loading
@@shaneweightman No disrespect intended at all,but please watch it again - holding the rifle underneath the under lever hinge and squeezing the trigger repeatedly is incredibly dangerous,if the gun had gone off the underlever could have sprung up and crushed or severed his fingers.Never ever rely on safety or anti-beartrap mechanisms. Like I said no disrespect.

I bought one of those 18 years ago. Great little air rifle. Can be very hold sensitive so I would suggest a back rest.
This one doesn’t seem to bad to be honest but I will bear it in mind thanks Shaun
Second thoughts , turns out it is very hold sensitive, as I found out from the next video , I will publish in the next day or two , cheers Shane

Best to hold barrel when loading pellet. bear trap only lock trigger not sears.
It's a 57 no bear trap.

It's so great when you get things dialed in and get a dead center bulls eye. Makes this old man happy anyway
Nice shooting, amazing the views you get with those scopes 😮
Yeh that’s what I thought , haven’t seen the moon yet l o l
Your daughter's garden is perfect for setting up the rifle and a bit of target shooting. Rifle looks good nice shooting 👍👍
Thanks Buddy for the comment , behind the gate is more shooting land , maybe next time a bit further cheers Shane
The sort of level , most springers make , I would think , not quiet neither loud , if that makes any sense , cheers shane
Great video Shane , great information a really accurate shooting rifle the HW57 .177 cal cheers .
Great grouping Shane I’m trying mine out tomorrow at the club tomorrow had the Mk 1way back in the late 90s the Mk 2 is what I’ve got now the Mk3 seems a longer gun.
Good to see a lefthander doing a shooting review thanks mate
Great marksmanship

I’m down to 14 mtrs at home , most my shooting vids are done round my Daughters house , thanks Shane

Thought id pressed on a Bob Ross vid. Nice content mate.

Agreed buddy , got to get back in to it , haven’t shot anything for nearly 12 months , thanks for the comment Shane
How do you clean the barrel on the HW57 ?
Hello there, I'm looking at the same rifle. Can you comment on how loud it is which is a big consideration for me. Thanks for your time.
Nice content. What pellets were you using ?
In my younger days I used to have a Weirauch HW35E,loved it but out all day in the fields/woods it would start to feel heavy after about 6-7hours on the go.
Just a thought and I might be wrong(its years since i had an airgun) but is'nt it illegal to shoot within 100yrds of a public footpath or highway?
Great video by the way.
I'd say you've bought a bsa silentium I've been thinking about getting one ....Nice video 👍
Cheers buddy , no rem express , cheers Shane
@@beverleyweightman4437 I've heard they are decent 👌 for the price
@@plipertyplap4899 we will both find out when I get it buddy ,, hopefully cheers Shane
I already own the HW98K and HW77
I'm now hesitating between the HW57 and HW95 Luxus or Sandard
I'd still put my 45 odd year old .22 Webley Vulcan Springer fitted with my (New) Hawke 3-9 x 50 AO mildot scope up against it!!
It was a £100 Gun at the time, which more than compares IMHO.
Grandson aside, still = 5 Zulus!! "At 100 yards, Volley Fire - Present"
Is the weihrauch hw57 .177 caliber air rifle suitable for small game hunting?
I would think it would be buddy , it’s accurate and full power , thanks shane
@@shaneweightman thanks bro 👍
Nice gun my friend
Deveria regresar la palanca de carga a su pocisiones y luego cargalo y cerrar la palanca vertical

Hi Shane ime nigel I follow your shooting I have a gx40 pcp for sale or swop its like the phox ime after a hw 99s if you hear of one for sale or swop mine comes with a air tank mint condition
I certainly will buddy, good guns the gx40 and gamo phox, was my first pcp , I will put the word around , cheers shane
You don't seem to practice safe rifle handling letting go of the clocking lever putting your fingers in the breach not keeping your rifle pointing down range when loading
I almost couldn’t watch the lad nearly loosing his fingers!! He needs tuition urgently!
You clearly no nothing about the hw57 ,, do some research then come back
