    The Hw57 is a very good gun its light with full power,the bridge pellet holder is not to my liking especially if you use telescopic sights as it is easy to forget to close it before firing, other than that i cannot fault this great gun at around £260 tops its worth the money,i have a hw80k and a hw 97k which are much more expensive guns and i rate this gun in use on parity with the other two, if you want a good underlever thats pretty light and of full ower i recommend the hw57 you will soon get used to the bridge loading mechanism which is the only thing i dont like and quite a few other folk dont like too but as i said its a good air rifle good for female shooters who may like a good light gun.

    This is an excellent little springer! The rifle has nice compact proportions it looks and feels "right". The stock is full length, slim and elegant with a very nice rake to the pistol grip, a low well proportioned cheek peace and drop to heel that feels great in the shoulder, for both open and medium mounted scopes. I have had the hw57 in. 22, for about a month now, it is not run in yet (only fired about 350 rounds) but she is settling down nicely! I love to use a good set of open sights, and th ...

    Overall i like the 57 it is very accurate and easy to carry on long walks. I found that the top loading slot was sometimes faulty. The Weihrauch HW57 is however light, very easy to handle and also has the power of a much heavier gun.

    Overall, I like the gun for it's size and general quality. The Rekord triggers are always tops and most of the HW-57's don't suffer from the issues I ran into. This gun is highly tunable for those wishing to take it up another notch or two towards perfection. If Weihrauch could produce the stock with a shorter length of pull, I think many women shooters could handle the gun quite well, and the pop up loading port makes for very safe loading. RB

    Overall a very accurate and powerful gun, i first shot it with open sights and was very impressed, getting myself pigeons and magpies all the time, but then i fitted a scope, and contained very good accuracy. hitting a 2 pence peice size from 30 meters. the accuracy would be better if the recoil wernt so high. It needs good clamps for scopes, single piece ones would be best. I would recommend this gun for people plinking in the garden and shooting small rabbits, rats, pigeons and magpies.

    Very good. Light weight and easy loading very accurate and full knockdown power in 2.2 cal had this gun 4 2 years n no problems. The Weihrauch HW57 is a good all-rounder

    I bought the Weirhrauch HW57 in .22 caliber about 3 months ago for 215 pounds. I was impressed by how well balanced and light weight it was. The pop up breech was not difficult to use and once you get used to it it takes little time to load. You cock and reset the under lever and put in a pellet and push the breech down. There is less chance of trapping your fingers with this system. I used the iron sights only and was able to get 1 inch groupings at 25 yards. The open sights have a wider blo ...

    An excellent gun for the price, compact and light to carry around, but with full power. I would recommend one to anyone.

    I've had this gun since September and thought it about time to write a quick review, however brief. I haven't used the gun a huge amount so my opinions here do not necessarily represent fact. The Weihrauch HW57 is a nice gun, with good looks (although not the best) and a solid feel. As in the 'good points', the breech wobbles a substantial amount when the gun is cocked, so be careful. It's worth remembering that, especially in .177, this rifle is fiddly to load and has a long loading process - s ...

    The HW57 is a little heavy, I noticed this when I replaced my tuned 12 year old supersport because it was getting a little loose on the break barrel. You do get used to the weight of the HW57. This is by far outweighed by the performance, accuracy and feel of this rifle, it is amazing. I use the rifle at weekends for ratting down the local farm and hand on my heart its my best friend and has never let me down. It really is the best a springer can get.

    Overall, the Weihrauch HW57 is an amazing entry rifle, and a great competition rifle. I believe it is one of the best out there, I have friends with different rifles, but i do not think any are anywhere close to my HW57!

    Weihrauch hw57 - I bought this as my first full power rifle and wasn't dissapointed with it. After looking around, it seemed to be the best underlever rifle for the price. A lot of people have complained about the pop up breech, but I found I quickly got used to it, though with a scope fitted, especially a large one, it can be a bit annoying at times.
    It does recoil a bit, but with some practice you can acheive decent accuracy. I was able to get 1 inch groupings at 25 yards with the iron sights ...

    The Weirauch HW57 is a smooth powerful gun. Good value for money light and the accuracy are well suited!

    My Weihrauch hw57 is best without scope and the underleaver cocking system works like a dream

    The Weihrauch HW57 is a blinder but I do not like the loading mechanism yet.

    I understand users get used to it and I have not had it long so hoping it will become natural soon.

    I am not a compete doughnut and did the research first and it was either the BSA Supersport or the HW57 but the clincher was the price from J.S. Ramsbottom (£170) (although my friend recently bought a BSA Supersport from Uttings.com for a remarkable price of £139!)

    We took both guns out to the garde ...

    I have had a few guns in the past and as I have been away for some time from shooting I thought I could get back into guns starting off with a spring gun again and as I have had all the Weihrauchs I thought try some thing new like the 57. I found it light not like the 97 and found it consisant with real good feel to a gun and like always for Weihrauch very good quality, top marks.

    I have recently purchased a Weihrauch HW 57 from my local dealer. Traded in my HW 99S which to me seemed to be much better value for money.
