Weihrauch HW57 Underlever Air Rifle


The HW57 is a slimmed down version of the HW77, the major differences being the lack of a loading port and the inclusion of the pop-up breech. It's a a superb lightweight full power under-lever hunting rifle with fully adjustable open sights. It also has the excellent Rekord trigger.

The rifle is cocked using the underlever, this in turn releases the pop-up breech, the pellet is inserted, the breech is then pressed back down into the firing position - no chance of trapped fingers with this system.

Very accurate and the best buy in it's price class.

The best mid-priced rifle available in South Africa

Weihrauch makes some of the finest spring airguns in the world. They have been doing so since shortly after World War II. The HW50 Mk2 fills the gap that was left when the quality of BSA went down the drain. The trigger is good, the rifle is light, the finish is perfect and the accuracy is awesome.

People always want to know how it compares to a Gamo. Well let me put it this way…

With the HW50 mk2 you just pay for the quality of the rifle, NOT like with the cool looking Gamo's where half the cost goes into useless plastic bits that they put on the rifle to disguise the fact that it is not nearly as good as you thought. The HW50 might not have the same power as a Gamo Shadow or CFX, but you will hit the target more often. Not only that, but by the time you have repaired the Gamo twice, the HW50 is just reaching it peak, and it will stay at that level for years.

This is probably the best rifle in its price range …no wait lets rephrase that.

IT IS DEFINITELY THE BEST IN ITS PRICE RANGE.

Before you contact me and tell me I’m full of crap and how happy you are with your Gamo. Answer this question first… “have you ever used a top brand rifle before?”. If not, give it a try… you’ll see the difference.
