Mike Morton gets his hands on Weihrauch’s compact carbine, the HW 110 STK, to find out whether small really is beautiful

The British-made Gamo GX-40 is a multi-shot bolt-action PCP that’s been clad in a black tactical-looking synthetic thumbhole stock and comes with one 10-shot magazine and a muzzle brake. (Read our list of PCP air rifles under £500.)  Some sacrifices have been made, as the polymer stock has no degree of adjustability – but, despite…

A closer look at the BSA Ultra CLX British gunmaker BSA has a talent for striking a very happy balance between classic looks and precision performance when it comes to airgun design. Its latest release is the BSA Ultra CLX,  a complete reworking of one of its most popular models – the super-successful Ultra. Some…

Daystate refuses to stand still when it comes to pushing the boundaries of airgun design. The British gunmaker set a new standard for adjustability when it launched the electronically tunable Delta Wolf two years ago. (Read Mat’s review of the Daystate Red Wolf Hi-Lite here.)  Resting on its laurels has never been a trait of…

While many of us started out with a springer, the PCP is now the dominant airgun powerplant, with its on-board air reservoir offering maximum ease of use and minimum physical effort. There is a downside though, and that’s the fact that the compressed air that propels the pellet has to come from somewhere. That typically…

There is a great appetite for airguns that stand out from the crowd, and Brocock airguns usually meet that demand in their own way. The subject of this review goes a step further though, taking the proven reliability of the Sniper XR action and dressing it up in an eye-catching package with the Brocock Sahara…

Too many of us make the mistake of getting seduced into thinking that we need to spend a small fortune on gear to get the most from our airgun shooting. I’m as guilty as anyone, and while specialist equipment can make a big difference in some scenarios, you can still enjoy the full airgun experience…

I’m going to talk about a modern gun the Whiscombe JW50 and one that is sure to be a collectable investment for the future. I would wager with anyone that this air rifle will only increase in value as the years go by. The Whiscombe JW50 So what makes me so certain of the Whiscombe’s…

Zeiss has an enviable reputation for being able to deliver riflescopes that boast the performance and refinement you would expect from a German optics giant without the inconvenience of an eye-watering price tag. Knowing that the Conquest V4 range aims to follow in that vein, I couldn’t wait to mount one to my Weihrauch rimfire…

The Weihrauch HW35E  air rifle, at 69, is a senior citizen. It has stood the test of time and won the hearts of many an airgunner. There have been a few tweaks to the internals to ensure it keeps pace with modernity but the basic design remains the same. Weihrauch’s ‘if it ain’t broke don’t…

Webley & Scott was one of our oldest gunmakers but sadly it ceased manufacturing in Britain in 2005 and all its airguns are now made in Turkey. It is a shame because the penultimate years bore some classic air rifles. This was largely influenced by the merger of Venom Arms custom shop that worked out…
