Good Points: Good accuracy, a good size good power and its beautiful
Bad Points: Its heavy, I found it hard to find a case for it and also really hard to find desent pellets for it
General comments: I like got them but got rid of mine as it was to expensive to maintaine and the pellets are hard to find becouse there is only 1 gunsmith within a 50 mile radius of where i live but i can recomend the smk 4-32 scope for it it does not sound like a godd combo but i took out about 15 rabbits and 10 crows with it lost count of the rats

A must have if you want a genotype airgun. A classic if there ever was one. This model will help teach skills which require many tins of pellets to master, and it will meet the challenge with a durable performance.

I read several reviews about Rifle being very heavy, but when tested in shop and compared with others there wasn't much difference, apart from the HW95 this gun was very light, but the HW97 won in my eyes with it's looks.
I only have a small back garden 20 metres, set scopes up within a hour and im hitting small bullseye on target from 20 meters already very happy and can't wait to get out this weekend with it.

The HW 97K is very compact, heavy, and absolutely precise. A real pleasure to shoot with the record trigger, i put it to 100 grms in the tune, and it is great. Only bad point is the price.

Silent, good looking, well made but very heavy so best used laying down. Overall, good value for money. Despite being heavy i love it.

Very accurate. Well Made ,but ,the trigger guard should be steel and not alloy and indeed so should the trigger itself. There is no rear sight which is quite bad.

Great for the sniper in you. Sitting in your hide owning rabbits and small birds. have already shot many grey squirrels, crows, pigeons and rabbits and all eaither a head or heart shot kills instantly. I have shot many other guns, ranging from co2 to ww2 and this is a true pleasure to shoot. it is very close to 12pounds power limit so kiling at 25m is still possible. very good buy!

Great weapon, with all the qualities you want on a airrifle
and the weight may be high fort some people, but not to me, more weight is more stability

Weihrauchs are excellent rifles for hunting with. I also have a HW 80 ( .177 CALIBRE ). This too is superb for vermin control.
My 97K and HW80 have been trusty pot fillers..........rabbits , squirrels ( not much meat, but excellent taste ) and wood pigeons over the years.

A very good rifle. very accurate. Smooth trigger action
good natural feel to the rifle
recoil very predictable
Slightly too heavy, but would a reduction affect accuracy

Straight out of the box the Weihrauch 97k felt great, its years since I have owned a air gun. Thanks to the reviews I bought this rifle. As a born again I would recommend this superb product, it has also made my mates envious.

Bought one of the Blue Laminate .177 models. Very nice option with the stock being very well finished. Well worth the extra.
Fitted with a 4x12 Mil dot scope, it took less than 20 shots to get it pin point accurate using H&N FTT.
Had it a few months, and cannot believe how consistent the thing is. It is easy to do the one hole "ragged edge" 5 shot groups at 20 yards, bench rest of course.
Using it on pest control, I have taken out 29 "vermin" in 30 shots freehand at up to 30 yards.
Have not str ...

Awesome takedown springer. No nonsence. Min ei s.22 and will happily take down rabbits, squirrels and pigeons up to 30 meters. I dont usually shoot game over that distance due to the possibility of wounding and not achieving a clean kill.
Targets, 40 meters no problem. Heavy fall off though with 12lb/ft after 40 meters on a range

Just upgraded my hw95k for one of these which was great. This is even better. Handling, power, accuracy all spot on. I notice the weight difference but thats something I will adjust to. German quality once again at its best. Well recommend Weihrauch HW 97K.

I own an rws 54 (good too but a tank and not as well built), an HW50, HW100 (also an awesome gun but more cumbersome managing the air system), HW90 , HW80 (yes, I love German engineering!!!) - the 97 is by far the best combo of power and practical easy of use.
A few pointers from a fanatic who shoots several thousand rounds a month:
-Use 14-15 grain pellets fore best results (Crossman premiere; RWS Super H for hunting; Weihrach F&S)
-Hold slightly towards the front of the stock for best result ...

Gold trigger and safety give the no-nonsense hw97k a flash look.massive power.mine is 13.5 ft.lbs and from 40 yards can smash through both sides of a water filled can and one sheet of the material used by american football players for protection.my dads friend actually dropped a deer with this rifle(no word of a lie) so im sure you realise how much of a aweseom gun this as mentioned above its a right job going out for 3-4 hours at a time with it but for short distances this rifles top of its ran ...
