Amazing equipment, very well made and finished, performance is incomparable to cheaper air rifles. The rifle's accuracy is on the level of a good PCP, and you don't need to pump it or worry about running out of air. It's quite expensive, but I've been shooting for a long time and it was worth it. It's a pity that the store's offer doesn't include other models, for example, in polymer or a stainless steel version.
Underlever rifled air rifle in 4.5 mm caliber produced by the renowned German manufacturer Weihrauch. The stock is crafted from ergonomically contoured beech wood with attractive grooves on the grip and forearm, which not only enhance its appearance but also provide improved handling stability. A rubber recoil pad is mounted at the butt end, effectively reducing vibrations generated by the spring upon firing.
Pellet loading is straightforward and user-friendly thanks to a double-cylinder mechanism that moves back together with the spring, exposing the loading port. For enhanced safety, an automatic safety mechanism engages during cocking and prevents the trigger from being pulled.
The HW 97K model features a compensator at the muzzle, increasing the front-end weight of the barrel. The carbine is also equipped with an adjustable aluminum screw trigger to allow the user to customize the trigger pull sensitivity.
No open sights are included, requiring users to mount a scope. Mounting optics is easily accomplished via a 11 mm standard dovetail rail. The combination of a quality riflescope, a fixed barrel, and a precise trigger ensures excellent performance for the most demanding shooting enthusiasts.
A 12-month warranty is provided for the air rifle.

Weihrauch Sport is a German manufacturer of sporting and hunting air rifles, operating since 1899. From the very beginning, the company has focused on precision and reliability, thanks to which its products are among the most valued in the world. In 1951, it presented the HW 35 model with a two-stage Rekord trigger, which is still considered a benchmark in its class today. An important development was the introduction of the HW 90 air rifle, which featured a gas spring developed in collaboration with Theoben. This solution ensures greater durability and smoother operation than a traditional steel spring. Models such as the HW 77, HW 45, and HW 90 have made their mark in the history of shooting and are chosen by competitors and enthusiasts around the world.

It's hard to find better equipment among spring air rifles, this rifle is very accurate and pleasant to use. The trigger is adjustable and smooth, everyone can customize it to their liking. The air rifle doesn't recoil much; it hasn't destroyed any scopes in several years. The only thing to note is its weight—somewhat noticeable but fully compensated by the quality and performance. I definitely recommend it!

Beautiful and very accurate. Top shelf, highly recommend.
-
What more is there to say. Finally, a rifle that shoots pellets exactly where you aim. World class. You can cut patterns on the target. Brilliant. Even in strong winds. Check out my video.

I've had it for about a month and I have to say it's indescribable. So far tested at 30m, 10/10 shots grouped to the size of two groszy—it's just amazing. Mine pairs with a Hawke 4-12x40 AO scope. It works best with JSB Exact Heavy Diabolo 4.52. Highly recommend!

This rifle is outstanding. In my opinion, the best rifle in the world, surpassing more expensive competition in many respects. Balance, ergonomics, accuracy at 40 meters—can hit a 5 groszy coin. Unmatched. This model was specially created for Hunter Field Target competitions—field shooting. In the photo, group at 35 meters, lying position.

I've had the air rifle for 6 years. It underwent professional tuning at the beginning and still works perfectly today. I recommend it to anyone who values reliability and solid craftsmanship.
-
Very good air rifle, solid, accurate, moderately heavy, at a good price. I recommend it, provided no one expects a miracle.
-
Like almost all HW, excellent, after small modifications, brilliant, especially with good optics. Just one 'but'—where do these cosmic velocities come from... If that were the case, it would already be FAQ. Nevertheless, it is a great gun, for years, for the garden plot, and for FT competitions. Next to AA, Diana, and Walther, it's the best spring air rifle on the market. The fact that it doesn't have external aiming devices speaks to its power and purpose.
-
One of the best air rifles in its class. The only remark is about the quoted muzzle velocity of 295 m/s and the kinetic energy of the pellet at the same time.
