The German manufacturer Weihrauch started production in 1899 and is one of the absolute leaders in its field. Their air rifles are used for sporting disciplines such as Filed Target and others. With these spring-loaded rifles you can shoot the same results at 50 meters as with the much more expensive PCP models.
Weihrauch HW 97 KT is the flagship model of this manufacturer. The solid barrel, thanks to the bottom loading, guarantees long-lasting accuracy. When the lower lever is broken, the chamber opens to accommodate the firing pin in the barrel. The safety is automatic, so you have to release the safety before each shot. It is located in the rear of the body. The stock is universal, so it is suitable for right- and left-handed shooters. The thumbhole wooden stock is very easy to hold. In addition, it has decorative engraving on the neck and fore-end. There is a rubber dot on the end of the stock to dampen recoil.
The top of the line comes without sights, so the air rifle must be fitted with a scope. This is done with an 11mm fishline on the body.
The main advantage is the Record sport trigger, which is really easy to adjust.
Our experience: For us, definitely one of the best spring-loaded airguns. Accuracy at 50 yards is astounding.
