The Weihrauch HW110 TK is the latest model from the famous German manufacturer. It’s fitted with an elegant gray laminated stock making for a very attractive overall appearance.

In case you were wondering, the “T” stands for “Thumbhole”, while “K” represents “Kurz” – “short” in German i.e. carbine length. It’s one of several models in the HW110 range that are available at Airguns of Arizona.

As with other Weihrauch PCP air rifles, the HW110 TK is well-priced for such a high quality product. It represents strong value for those who value accuracy, a great trigger, handling and “feel” over shot count.

Overall appearance of the Weihrauch HW110 TK is that of a sophisticated, quality product. There’s nothing fancy, flashy or unnecessary, just the beauty that comes from great design engineering and huge attention to detail in manufacturing.

The HW110 is broadly similar to the long-running HW100. However it’s more compact and lighter, with different ergonomics, too. In fact, the action is closer to that of the HW44 PCP air pistol!

Similarities between all three models include sidelever cocking, unbroken scope mounting rail and a 10-shot rotary magazine.

There’s always something special about Weihrauch PCPs and that’s the way with the HW100 TK. It’s very difficult to describe, but these air rifles give a “just right” feel when you shoulder the gun. Weihrauch PCPs always seem to fit, hold and point very well for a wide range of people.

The rake of the stock’s pistol grip is ideal. This combines with a raised comb to the stock that gives a comfortable cheek weld.

The 39.25-Inch overall length is very manageable and comfortable to hold on target. Further, the overall weight of 9 Lb 10 Oz – with the scope mounted – is very well balanced, too.

The Weihrauch HW110 TK air rifle I tested gave outstandingly consistent muzzle velocity. However the small HPA tank capacity and high power level means that shooters will need to refill after 20 – 30 shots to achieve the extreme consistency of FPS that the HW110 can achieve.

In addition, this HW110 was accurate with all the pellets I tried. This is a benefit I have found before with other Weihrauch PCPs. They tend to not be very pellet-picky. Of course, there is – as with most airguns – a general tendency for mid-weight and heavier pellets to shoot more accurately than lighter pellets.

The HW110 TK I tested was in .177 caliber. JSB 10.34 Grain Exact Heavy Diabolo pellets turned-out to be the favorite fodder, producing excellent accuracy!

For sighting, I used UTG Pro rings to mount a Sightron S-TAC 3-16 x 42AO scope. The combination looks good and handles well, too. (Look for this scope to be available at AoA in the near future).

The Weihrauch HW110 is supplied with an optional, screw-on Picatinny rail. It’s ideal for attaching a bipod. For most of us, resting the gun improves our accuracy – so this is good to have. It’s optional: if you don’t want it, don’t fit it.

That proved ideal for mounting a Spartan Javelin bipod. I find that it is an ideal piece of equipment when light weight – make that very light weight – portability and simplicity are required.

The trigger pull weight of this Weihrauch HW110 TK averaged just 8.5 Ounces. That’s, 0 Lbs 8.5 Oz!

Even with such a light setting, there’s a clearly-defined first stage with a fair degree of travel. Pulling back, it’s easy to feel the “wall” – even with such a light pull weight. The smallest amount of additional pressure then releases the sear with a real “glass break” sharpness of definition.

The side cocking lever is comfortable and easy to operate. The lever itself has a very good shape for operation.

Opening the lever is requires almost no effort. There’s just a little more required for the final few degrees of swing as the magazine is rotated in preparation for the next shot.

Closing the lever requires a larger, satisfying amount of effort. You’re not likely to close the lever by accident on an HW110! However it doesn’t feel bad, rather I’d describe it as a “definite” action.

Another significant benefit of the HW110 – as with other Weihrauch PCPs – is that it has an effective double feed prevention system. Unlike many magazine-fed PCP air rifles it’s not possible to double-feed this gun.

If the cocking lever is opened and closed on the already-loaded action, a second pellet is NOT loaded.

For many of us, this can be an extremely beneficial feature. It eliminates the possibility of a double-shotted discharge where neither of the pellets will hit the target. It also removes the potential of jamming, by preventing double-feeds.

The HW110 is supplied with two rotary magazines. These are very simple to use and foolproof in operation. Also included is a fill probe. But note that you’ll need to buy an adapter to connect it to a regular female 1/8-Inch NPT connector, as is likely to be fitted to your HPA tank of compressor. AoA can advise if you need help on this.

Yes, the HW110 is yet another great air rifle from Weihrauch. It’s definitely worthy of consideration if you’re looking for a sophisticated, accurate PCP that fits you like a glove!

The Weihrauch HW100 Bullpup was first shown at the 2019 IWA OutdoorClasics trade show in Germany. Now it’s arrived in the USA and we are looking at one of the first guns received by Airguns of Arizona.

Perhaps surprisingly, the Weihrauch HW100 Bullpup is a version of the HW100, with its metal receiver. It’s not based on the more recent HW110 which has a synthetic receiver. It’s available in both .177 and .22 calibers and also in short and long versions.

The carbine version features a shorter barrel, together with a smaller HPA cylinder. This will mean less power and a lower number of shots. However the upside is to be found in the outstanding handling available in this compact package.

For testing, we mounted an MTC Viper Pro 3-18 x 50 scope using Leapers UTG Pro rings. There’s a choice of scope-mounting options. Regular airgun grooves are machined in the top of the receiver. However a separate Picatinny rail is screwed screwed onto it by default. We chose to use this for our scope mounting.

We also attached an UTG TBNR bipod to the short, removable Picatinny rail under the forend.

The Weihrauch HW100 Bullpup has a mid-mounted sidelever action. It’s located – as expected – on the right side of the gun and is conveniently located near to the trigger blade.

The HW100 Bullpup is supplied with a Weihrauch-manufactured silencer permanently-attached to the barrel. It also comes complete with two magazines, a fill probe and degassing tools. The HPA tank is removable – it unscrews like that of other Weihrauch PCPs. The front lower Picatinny rail is also supplied separately, with its fixing screws.

The trigger of the Weihrauch HW100 Bullpup Carbine is a two-stage design. The pull weight averaged just 14.7 Oz in the sample we tested. The first stage was very light. However – despite the light pull weight – the “stop” for the second stage was very easy to feel. Release was then clean and precise.

All bullpup air rifles with a mechanical trigger separate the trigger and sear assemblies with a long rod. This is seen in the photograph below for the Weihrauch HW100 BP Carbine with the HPA tank removed. 

Overall, the short length (23 Inches) and compact design make this new air rifle a delight to handle. The Weihrauch HW100 Bullpup Carbine shoulders well and is fast and easy to bring onto aim.

This is enhanced by the molded pistol grip which – like that on other Weihrauch PCPs – is outstandingly comfortable and obviously designed with considerable care. The trigger guard has cut outs on either side. These position the user’s trigger finger safely away from contact with the trigger, yet leave it as close as possible for rapid access when ever a shot need to be taken.

The Weihrauch HW100 BP Carbine is an individualist’s air rifle. It’s not trying to offer the most power, highest shot count or maximum versatility. What it does offer, however, is superlative quality of manufacture, outstanding handling and huge practicality. It combines this with excellent accuracy and enough power for most users. And it does it with great style!

If you’re looking for a light, quiet, compact PCP air rifle that’s “out of the box ready” with the minimum of fuss, the Weihrauch HW100 Bullpup Carbine definitely fits the bill. And it’s available at Airguns of Arizona now!
