Love mine, too. Got out to the range to plink with a friend today. Loves his HW 85 that served him well many years. He asked to try my 97KT and couldn't put it down. Afterward he's texting me still at home about looking for a used one. He was that impressed with shooting it.
Good grouping there. Nice shooting. It’s interesting with springers how the poi changes slightly with a change in hold / grip. Looks like you changed grip just slightly between the two groups. But the groups are very good, you have a quality rifle there.
Good shooting, lovely stock on that HW! Boggy or not, I wish I had access to a range like that. Enjoy! There's a relatively easy fix for the spring twang: either order a full tuning kit or have somebody turn a properly fitting delrin spring guide and top hat - makes all the difference in the world and the OEM components (spring, piston seal) really aren't bad at all.
My first thoughts also.. The anti bear trap on the HW97 isn't like the air arms tx200 and Walther under lever rifle whereby they actually lock the piston and prevent it from taking your thumb off.. In the case of the weihrauch hw97 the anti bear trap only prevents the trigger from being pulled. So if internal wear occurred, the piston wouldn't have anything directly stopping it. I ALWAYS hold onto the lever on mine when I load it. It may well not have failed yet.. But what if it does?...
I'll tell you something anti bear this anti bear that I was cringing every time you went to prod a pellet into the breech, please keep hold of that lever. Your range is proper tranquil and allso atmospheric. You could put some stone chippings in the troughs to keep your feet dry. Can't go wrong with h+n in any German gun, very good groups I think the tx 200 just pips the 97 two cracking spring guns. Keep up the entertainment THANKS!
@@blacklabelqlewis sorry to here that, it can be very expensive trying pellets. My hw 100 in 22 loves h+n ftt and allso my 177 bsa ultra loves h+n ftt the ultra is very picky pellet wise
@@michaelholt9378 Lucky the JSB Hades I bought to test for expansion in my NPXL 1100 shoot like a laser from my 48 so hopefully the two lighter offerings from them will follow suit. I have a 97k on the way so we'll see what it likes to eat. Hopefully something cheap like this stack of Crosman Premiers I've stocked up
I've got 2 hw97k one in .22 and the other in .25 I use h+n field target trophy in the 2 of them they're as accurate as my pcps best Springer out there.
I had my with the blue stock and use the same pellet... I can say it super accuracy.... same hold or touching.. never had fly... this HW97 it's cost $$ but it worse it...👍👍👍...
very nice range you've got there...nice shooting also...i really enjoy my 97kt..i have it since 2010 in perfect condition.i am about to buy my first pcp ..i am between fx impact mk2 and air airarms s510r.my heart says fx my pocket air arms...:)
I've seen almost all the videos of the hw97 and all the well known Weihrauch models. I'm 100% sure, that all Weihrauch springers, all are perfectly accurate. The only difference, is that some are easier to shoot than others, because of weight or the power of the rifle etc. So, the real problem with Weihrauch, is which one to choose to buy!!!
Just shows what you can do with a basic scope ! It's hard to tell from the vid, but is this rifle quiet enough to use in an urban yard without upsetting the neighbours? Thank you. ATB MMMD
Good shooting. I have a number of weihrauch springers including the hw97k, they all seem to like h&n field trophy pellets. You mentioned in the video that you found the receipt for the rifle from 2004,may i ask what you paid for it back then?

Should always hold the cocking lever you never know something could fail then bye bye thumb
Fantastic air rifle, I love my HW97
Nice shooting partner! I like the range, very hunting realistic! Good video!
Good shooting and enjoyed your impromptu set up. Nice gun you have.

Mine is away being tuned, so l will get my hw 80 out for a while , l love weirauch springers l have 3 all - 177 👍

It doesn't have a anti bear trap. Just a slider that stops the trigger from being pulled. The sear can still let go.

I find these great pellets, hits on a golf ball at 65mtrs from my hw97. Centre hits on targets at 45mtrs.

Ye they’re very well made guns.

I love them wood, if I own them woods I would live in them with the gun

Likandros i’d go with your heart on that and get the one you really want, fx wildcat a good in between choice maybe. 👍

I would say it's quiet enough to not bother any neighbours, sometimes the targets getting hit can be noisier than the gun. Thanks for watching.
@@RuralStuff Thanks buddy
Just bought a 97kt today and a tin of these pellets..see what happens
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed 👍
@@RuralStuff thanks mate
Nice, i have the same in .22 whats the résistance, Greetings from the Netherlands
Good shooting.
I have a number of weihrauch springers including the hw97k, they all seem to like h&n field trophy pellets.
You mentioned in the video that you found the receipt for the rifle from 2004,may i ask what you paid for it back then?
Thanks, I paid £340 in 2004. I think they're at least £450 to buy now. Weihrauch guns are very well made and accurate.
What if you fail to put the pellet in the loading hole and it falls inside
Is best in cal 5.5 or 4.5
I wish you would hold that underlever whe you put the pellet in! You’re killing my nerves!
Well done buddy , I have also a 97 on my UA-cam channel , and other guns thumbs up Shane uk 🇬🇧
Thanks, I'll check out your channel as well
beautiful gun
FloridaRaider thanks 👍
