If you value this simple, quality approach to air rifle design and are looking for accuracy and consistency, rather than just maximum muzzle velocity, the HW97K will deliver lasting value for money to the discerning buyer.SPEED AND ACCURACYUltimate power is not the aim of the Weihrauch HW97K air rifle. This is a design that stresses accuracy and shootability over raw muzzle energy.So, while peak muzzle velocity in.177 caliber is 1075 fps with Gamo Raptor Platinum alloy pellets, we see muzzle velocities generally in the 800+ fps range with typical lead pellets in the 7 to 8 1/2 grain range. This gives a fairly consistent 12 – 13 Ft/Lbs muzzle energy. These are ideal numbers for the HW97’s main purposes – Field Target shooting and small game hunting.

But experienced airgunners know that numbers like this represent an ideal balance of power that enables accuracy and reasonable size in a spring/piston air rifle.Accuracy of the HW97 air rifle tested by HAM was outstanding – as expected!Even the lightest alloy pellets proved accurate in the HW97K.
And this is by no means always the caseAs you can see from the test targets below, best accuracy was delivered in the test gun by Crosman Premier Hollow Point pellets. This really is a “one hole” group and extremely impressive for 10 shots.TRIGGER AND COCKING EFFORTThe Weihrauch HW97K air rifle is fitted with the famous Rekord two stage trigger. As HAM tester Paul Manktelow commented in his testing notes: “This is a fine trigger with nice first and second stages. You don’t even have to think about the trigger when shooting.”The gold-colored, trigger blade has a ridged surface to minimize any possible slipping of the trigger finger in use. There’s also the characteristic large gold adjustment screw clearly visible behind the trigger blade – a strong visual reminder of the Rekord trigger.In fact, the HAM testers did not alter the factory trigger adjustment. It was set perfectly – in our opinion.The Weihrauch HW97 tested by HAM had an average trigger pull weight of 2 Lb 9 Oz, together with a clearly defined second stage that felt very consistent in use. This is an excellent trigger for Field Target competition – a major use for the HW97.Cocking effort measured 39 Lbs.
This is fairly stout for a spring/piston air rifle of this power level, but the lever’s action has a smooth, precision feeling and feels less heavy than the measurement indicated.The cocking arm is held in place by a sprung clip fitted to the underside of the barrel weight. A plunger button in the end releases the arm, making it easy to grasp for operation.COMPARISON TO MAKERS CLAIMSAs with many high end air rifles, there are few “hard” numeric claims made by the manufacturer.The maximum muzzle velocity claim is 950 fps.
This was surpassed easily by the HW97 air rifle tested by HAM with alloy pellets.Most claims for the Weihrauch HW97K air rifle relate to fitness for use, accuracy and quality. And while these claims are not easy to quantify, it’s clear that the HW97 exudes quality, gives great accuracy and is close to an ideal spring/piston air rifle in the eyes of many knowledgeable airgun shooters.CONSISTENCYConsistency is another strong suit for the HW97K.Accuracy was excellent across the whole range of HAM standard pellets.Standard Deviation – the measure of shot-to-shot consistency in muzzle velocity – was held at 8 fps or less for most pellets, which is very good. The only outliers were the H&N Field target Trophy Green alloy pellets (not an unusual situation) and the heavy H&N Baracuda Match pellets (now, this is unusual).The HW97’s Rekord trigger was also very consistent.
The pull weights recorded by HAM varied by only plus or minus 5 ounces from the 2 Lb 9 Oz average.
Hey all, I posted this a while back but I thought I would try again and get some fresh input. When I bought my second hand hw97k it came with an additional silencer fitted, as this make the thing a lot longer than I would like I have taken it off by simply unscrewing it.
The problem I have is I don't have the end cap to screw in the place of the silencer, I have contacted hull, chambers Weihrauch And none of them stock it as a part.Has anyone out there got one for sale or does anyone have any idea where I can get one.
