That's how I have always pronounced it and out of habit will continue to say it like that but according to a tame German at work it is "Weih is pronounced Vay and the rauch is rohwsh, Vayrohwsh".
I have an HW80 which was just about the industry standard in its time , alongside maybe one or 2 of the Diana models. The Weihrauch Rekord trigger is still one of the best.
I also have a Theoben Rapid 7 Pre-charged which shoots groups similar to the Daystate posting. I hardly use my HW80 now but it did deal with a few rabbits in its time.

Like any firearm, you can easily spend more to get a better make/model.

If you can spare the time, make a visit to Youngs. They're on Dominion Rd, on the left hand side as you're driving away from the city. Parking outside.

Youngs also sponsor local club shooting with prizes, etc and have v good after sales service. A+

Hi guys, ive got a 'Benjamin Trail NP' air rifle, .22 heavy as fuck, great shooter but has a trigger with more creep than your average paedophile......

might get a new 'drop in' trigger for it, or do a bit of the old DIY after watching some vids on you tube!!!!!!!!

My cometa likes the jsb exacts as we'll but I can't shoot it to get groups that tight at that range. 6x47 is that the fennix or the fusion your shooting?

As per the picture, they're Cometa "Exact Jumbo Heavy" pellets. It says "Carefully selected by JSB"
Got 'em from Young's in Akl. Lot cheaper than the Barracudas too. It seems air rifles can be finicky like .22 rimfire mags.
Don't reply on my results when buying for yours.

Your Cometa PS- is it a break barrel or PCP? If the former, there's no chance of it matching my Air Wolf
