Weihrauch hw97k 1899 limited edition (Worth it?)

If you like the color and laminate, you have the money then sure, why not. They’re limited edition so that has to help long term value.

Special additions/anniversary additions aren't worth it to me.......Only because I use what I purchase. Keeping it in the safe or hanging behind glass ain't for me.
The HW97KT is a solid accurate build!

Im going to shoot it. I was leaning more toward the hw35 special edition because I like the grey/silver colour but I read the hw35 doesn't have enough power to take down a rabbit

Limited editions are generally not worth it. I would buy a standard HW97k and trick it out with a nice tune job and a select wood stock from CSUK. That way you can shoot it and not feel bad. YMMV

It doesn't really look that special apart from the engraving. It just looks like one of those custom stocks everybody puts on their air rifle

Aftermarket laminate stock is going to cost you $300-$500, so if you're good with the red and black, it's a less expensive way to get a laminate stocked rifle.
Not the Anniversary Edition, but they've also now got the 97 in Walnut to tempt you too...lol.

My .177 35 sits at exactly 12ftlbs with JSB 8.44gr while my .22 HW35 sits at 13ftlbs with FTTs. Even if it was only 10fpe though that gun would still take rabbits fine at reasonable ranges.

Yes I know. My guns have aftermarket springs in them. Yours are still capable of that power though which is all I was getting at. The factory springs in the 35s here sat at right around 11.5 if memory serves
