I put a very thick rubber pad on the stock of my single 12 gage when I was a teen, which helped a lot.

Thank you for the demonstration.

Where did you get your butt plate on the 12.5 setup?

Friend you got a nice HW 30 All you need is more practice, it's not a bad idea to clean the barrel when you get it out of the box,thank you for your video.

I heard the federal punch 29gr FN can be good in a rifle. Despite being designed for pistols.

Hey gangster i did a review on the same shotgun its a beast. Nice video keep it coming.

When I purchased my hw 30 from aoa here in az. I was suggested a nikon 3-9x40 a.o. could not be more satisfied. Perfect glass for this bit of kit imho. Unfortunitly no longer available.

I have a hw30s, the same as yours, I love it! It is a keeper, il will outlive me.

Thanks for posting, I liked this video. I would not recommend a .22 HW30s for a beginner. I suspect it would be harder to shoot than a .177 due to the very low MV, but I could be wrong. Overall though the HW30s makes a lot of sense for lots of people!

I agree perfectly with what you say and the HW 30s is the rifle I prefer among the five Weihrauchs I own Greetings from Italy 🙂

Dont lean so far foward when you shoot & u wont feel it all the way down ur back..curl ur shoulder around it pull it in tight & let-r-rip huge diff. in felt recoil..dont be scared of it & make it your BITCH!!! lol

Yeah… you could absolutely tell that slug was BRUTAL! Not surprised 💥 I’d bet if you shot the shorty slug prior the all the other shoulder abuse I’d be even less uncomfortable. Still gonna punch though. GREAT review 🍻

Well done. Thanks.

Well done. Thanks.

Question, how do you go about calculating ft lbs of energy? (i.e. how could I do it as well?) And if 22 had to be used for any defense, is ft lbs of energy generally the most important factor?

great video sir, thanks... but i'd stick to installing a good scope on the HW 30S... accuracy is just awesome and consistent.

The Winchester 40 grain Hypervelocity has proven their speed has exceeded the claimed speed of 1435 fps and achieve 1485+ fps. Nearly 200 lbs force!

Good video!! it's a good survival shotgun

Did your 301 come with sling studs already installed or did you install them?

Tks for sharing M. Great info on the Williams peep site

What divison are you running it in?

Winchester Super X and Browning are the same ammo just different packaging. It’s made in both high and hyper velocity.

my 301 12g. is fun to shoot. I absolutely love it ... light weight. rock solid . guns and comfort just don't mix...if you want comfort buy a pillow

Hilarious how people complain about a shotgun in 12ga are "uncomfortable" to shoot. Need to gain some weight, use a shoulder pad, practice more, drop gauge size, or..... Dont shoot 1.

Great review my friend, thank you for sharing. 😊

Can you put weight in the stock? On my hard recoiling guns I usually put wheel weights in the stock helps a lot.

If you do not like it buy you a 20 are 410.

Nice video. My HW30S is the gun I return to over and over again. Highly recommended.

HW30 is an excellent, high quality little spring rifle and great for use as a garden gun. It has an 11mm dovetail rail and is worthy of a scope should you wish to fit one. Try a selection of different pellets and with practice you will find it's capable of surprising accuracy, it also has enough power to take small game at short range (although I would recommend something more powerful for a dedicated hunting air rifle). The beauty of the relatively low power and low noise is it's very easy to cock, safe on your ears and you're unlikely to upset neighbors. If you have space, with due care you can even set up a range indoors. For less cost, another good beginner gun is the Daisy 880 multi pump pneumatic.

Migs, I'm a long time user of airguns in the UK. Your review is totally refreshing in that it highlights the fun you can have with a quality low-powered air gun. I can see a case for using a more powerful air rifle in a hunting situation, but one of the beauties of lower power is its usability and fun factor for all the family. Many thanks.

Enjoyed & learned……..good video…..thank you

Nice video, thanks for the review. I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a Weihrauch HW30S .177 Deluxe soon. I have several more powerful air guns but I’m wanting to this for plinking. You’ve got a nice rifle there

Powerlevels don't make an airgun a firearm, nor do local regulations...just saying.😊

I think one of the best springpowered rifles, maybe the best. Own a .177 HW30s too and with a (great) no name "high performance" spring from SWS/germany now perfect for my use. If you buy a springrifle for the first time, I would buy a quality rifle like this. Otherwise you get a wrong view about the sport and maybe you will be bored after a short time, because it will not work fine and your results are not so good as they could be. I own a lot of guns, but the HW30 is one of my favorite. I can shoot it nearly everywhere, in between, its lightweight, "führig"(cant say it in english ;-) ) and the record trigger its one of the best on the market I think so. Its not really cheap, but you get a rifle for life. greetings from the birth-country of any Weihrauch :-)

Nice mic 😅, it sounds nice..

Hey man, me again. I love this gun so much!! Would you dume a big favor and test different loads through a turkey choke? I'm thinking of using whinchester super x triple aught buckshot for deer. I know, prabobaly gonna hurt like the dickons, but noone else has a spasific review on this shotgun with these rounds. P.S: You need more subscribers!!!

Nice shot!

A interesting fact... Recoil is no reason to cry!!! Bazinga!😁

I have this exact shotgun, but its the turkey model. Love it!!!

Dude it’s not a take down model lol all single shot shotguns do that for cleaning. And if you think it kicks hard you’re a wimp lol

Have you looked at Norma Eco Speed? 1700+ FPS in a .22lr seems like it should be in this conversation.

I get all my.22 rimfire ammo from Clearwater cartridge company. Grew up there. 12 years old, 1970, got a rugger 10/22, real American walnut stock. $49.00. Tierney's I.G.A. groceries store was my ammunition place. Mom and Dad had a charge account. Mom would let me go get two boxes of mine mag's, and Mrs Tierney would hand me a clip board with a paper and said 2 boxes .22 cartridge's @ .57c each and I would sign my name. I would Head out the door and start loading up my one and only 10 round magazine and place it in the mag well, carried the rifle in to the store on my shoulder, with a nice leather sling. Walk about two miles down to the canyon and start hunting. Good ole days! Still shoot the 10/22 regularly. Never had an issue with the ammo that comes from Clearwater cartridge company! A.K.A. C.C.I.

Federal punch has entered the chat:

Terrible video. Acting is not your calling

where is the federal punch?????

I shoot browning pistols, 22.Stingers.

Those guns were made when men were men. Didn't need 5.56 cause we had 30/06. Suck it up buttercup

Also the Marlin 39A probably has the best barrel with the Micro Grove rifling: it’s The Classic lever action, that being said the same Design is in at least 4 different calibers .

Just a note: The small amount of power to cycle the semi automatic Does pull some of the energy to cycle the action
