Description

The HW97 air rifle is a superbly accurate, fixed barrel air rifle from the worlds’ finest, as well as one of the oldest, German airgun manufacturers. The 97’s action is an engineering masterpiece with a fixed barrel sliding breech design. This design allows for easy access to loading as well as total rigidity for accuracy with a scope. Sights are not provided, as the precision of this fine arm would be wasted without quality optics. Cocking the air rifle requires but minimal effort from the under-lever design. The HW97 action has the same receiver assembly as the HW35; a single block of milled steel beautifully polished and blued with the scope grooves directly milled into the receiver. The firing behavior of the 97 is very smooth with little vibration and recoil; this is very advantageous to target shooters for the best follow through resulting in more hits. The trigger is the world famous "Rekord" match grade unit; the best two-stage adjustable trigger available.The HW97 Synthetic air rifle is the ultimate in all-weather designs for field target use. The durable blued metal finish gives the rifle a classic yet protected look, while the advanced synthetic ambidextrous stock design is resistant to moisture and temperature variances. Besides being durable and weather resistant, the HW97 Synthetic has a tactical look and is sure to turn some heads while out hunting or in the field competing! The cheek piece sets the eye in proper position for a scope, increasing accuracy by cutting down on parallax error. As an added touch of style, the HW97 is finished off with a blued muzzle brake that enhances the appearance and increases stability to the shooter. The HW97 is the premier choice for the target shooting, bench rest, field target, or the sportsman hunting small game.

Superb Weihrauch quality, accurate and powerful, but don't scrimp on the scope!
Right out of the box this rifle produced close to match grade groups. Tuning with a Vortek HO kit and Krytox 206 lube smoothed it out a bit with zero dieseling. After about a 500 shot break-in it's MV std dev is <5 fps and rivals my FWB300's accuracy (but at 900-950 fps!). It prefers JSB 10.3 gr diabolos but shoots > 8 gr ammo well. It does require a very robust scope, as the shot cycle is very smooth but snappy! The first mid-range scope I tried failed, so I am trying a Leupold 3-9 33 mm EFR on it. My only regret is that I didn't spring for the blue laminate version. The synthetic stock is not on par with the superb metalwork on this gun (but is very durable and functional). I highly recommend this rifle.
