The German manufacturer Weihrauch started production back in 1899 and ranks among the absolute top in its field. Their air rifles are used in sporting disciplines such as Filed Target and others. With these spring-powered air rifles you can achieve the same results at a distance of 50 metres as with much more expensive PCP models.
Weihrauch HW 97 is the flagship model of this manufacturer. The fixed barrel with underlever cocking ensures long-lasting accuracy. After breaking the underlever, the chamber for loading the pellet into the barrel opens. The safety is automatic, so it must be disengaged before each shot. It is located at the rear of the action. The stock is universal, therefore suitable for both right-handed and left-handed shooters. The Black Line model, as the name suggests, is fitted with a black polymer stock. The stock is in thumbhole design and offers a very good grip. At the end of the stock there is a rubber butt pad that absorbs recoil.
The top series 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 action.
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.
