The German manufacturer Weihrauch started production back in 1899 and ranks among the absolute top in its field. Their air rifles are used for sport disciplines such as Filed Target and others. With these spring-piston rifles you can achieve the same results at a distance of 50 metres as with much more expensive PCP models.
Weihrauch HW 97 KT is the flagship model of this manufacturer. The fixed barrel with an underlever ensures long-lasting accuracy. After breaking the underlever, the loading port opens so you can insert a pellet into the barrel. The safety is automatic, so you must disengage it before every shot. It is located at the rear of the action. The stock is ambidextrous, therefore suitable for both right-handed and left-handed shooters. The wooden thumbhole stock provides an excellent grip. In addition, it features decorative checkering on the grip and fore-end. At the end of the stock there is a rubber butt pad that absorbs recoil.
The top range is supplied without sights, so it is necessary to equip the air rifle with a riflescope. For this purpose there is an 11mm dovetail on the receiver.
The main advantage is the Rekord match trigger, which can be adjusted extremely well.
Our experience: For us, definitely one of the best air rifles in the spring-piston category. The accuracy at 50 metres is astonishing.
