Whether you are looking for a hunting rifle or a competitive target shooting rifle, the HW97K is probably the one we are most likely to recommend.
(1) The quality and metal finish is superb. No bad points there. The first time I used the HW97 I was amazed at how smooth the action of the rifle is.
(2) It comes with a factory fitted silencer, so there is no need for an aftermarket silencer.
(3) It is powerful. Ok, there are rifles in the same price range that have more power, like the Diana, but the power at hand is still enough for hunting pigeons, rabbits and rats with ease.
(4) The Rekord trigger is the one all other air gun triggers are compared to. It is the all-time classic spring rifle trigger. Only on PCPs will you find a crisper, lighter trigger, and they only hold back about 10 lbs. of force - this one restrains over 100 lbs.! The trigger is adjustable from outside the gun and can be set to release with a very crisp pull. It's a good reason to buy a Weihrauch.
(5) It looks great. We already said that the finish is superb, but the checkered Beech wood stock with as well as the blue laminated stock must be seen to be fully appreciated.
These rifles are accurate!!!Just have look at this grouping shot with a .20 HW97K from a sitting position (without a bench rest), 6mm center to center.
This is what the grouping looks like at 50m!
It's probably too heavy for smaller person, but the weight helps to reduce the spring’s recoil.
