German manufacturer Weihrauch started production back in 1899 and ranks among the absolute top in its field. Their air rifles are used in shooting 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 57 is this manufacturer’s basic model. The fixed barrel with underlever cocking ensures long-lasting accuracy. After you pull down the underlever, an adapter for inserting a pellet extends, which then needs to be pushed back in. The safety is automatic, so you must switch it off before each shot. It is located at the rear of the action. The stock is ambidextrous, and therefore suitable for both right-handed and left-handed shooters. The wooden stock has decorative checkering on the grip and fore-end. At the end of the stock there is a rubber butt pad that absorbs recoil.
This model is equipped with traditional iron sights. However, you can also use a riflescope for more precise target shooting, which can be mounted on an 11 mm dovetail rail.
The main advantage is the Rekord match trigger, which can be adjusted extremely well.
Our experience: The basic model from this manufacturer, which has no competition in its price category.
