My Weihrauch 97 K in .177

[MC2]

My Weihrauch 97 K in .177. It has a Tinbum short stroke kit installed. This reduces the FPE to just under 12 and it makes the piston stroke quicker. It's is very smooth shooting because of this. The kit can be taken out and the power level raised back up. It has sling mounts, perfect for the field. Best pellet I've found for it is the JSB 8.44. This is a typical 5 shot group off sand bags at 10m indoor range. I bought it second hand and it’s a real gem.

Cheers!

Very nice gun and shooting. Where did you get that sling mount for the cocking lever? I would love one for my tx200. Just nervous it might open while walking.

You carry the gun muzzle down over your shoulder and that won't happen. All the pressure is on the rear stud.

Thanks! I'm having a blast with it. I had a TX200 could never get it to group. I was a beginner and was probably not too savvy on holding sensitive. Dang nice gun that I miss now.

The sling swivel was on it when I bought it. However, I have one like it on a 30-30 Winchester. You can google for 30-30 Lever Action Sling Mount Kit Split Band Winchester 94 and several pop up. Hope this helps!

I neglected to post the picture of my mount; the Bullseye ZR mount. Works exceptionally well for reducing wear & tear on scopes. I put the Barska on for sighting and am getting exceptional results with the target above...it stays for now.

Beautiful gun. My hw97k in .177 is my favorite springer by far. It rivals my PCPs for accuracy inside of 25 yards.

Very nice gun. I really like the looks of the HW97K.

Switched from pcps to a 12fpe HW97 springer just for simplicity. Trying to practice for WFTF. I started with buying low end PCPs, tinkering in the hope of making them accurate for field target. With the hw97, you know it's good enough for competition. It's the shooter that has to be tinkered with.

You know when I see guns like that it sorta turns me off from field target. Seems like the guns have gotten so far from what most people would recognize as a gun and so complicated it would just take the joy out of shooting . Please don’t be offended my my comment it just my thoughts. I’ve got no place to shoot FT so my option is irrelevant
