Weihrauch HW98- In the Netherlands Three Days Ago. THAT’S INCREDIBLE!

[Bear-of-Grayling]

I’ve been wanting a Weihrauch HW98 in .22 caliber for years. Absolutely do not need one at all. But need has nothing to do with it. So poking around here on Airgun Nation I find this place called Krale. They have the HW98 .22 caliber in stock and under $500. $50 shipping and no tax. Ordered Monday just before lunch. According to the tracking number it left The Netherlands Tuesday afternoon. I received it before lunch on Friday with a delayed notice from UPS Wednesday evening that it should have been here Thursday but moving to Friday.. Darn UPS. Another sleepless night. Krale is faster than Domino’s Pizza! How do they do it? Krale is incredible. 
I was not disappointed. This is the finest Weihrauch I have ever purchased. Just look at the wood. The metal is flawless. It was difficult to take the Weihrauch tag off the trigger guard. Just want to leave it new for a while.

Beautiful rifle! Congratulations on your new acquisition!



I had a similar experience with Krale with an HW97K in .177 that was actually on back order. They still got it to me inside of a month, and kept me informed at each step. They really seem like a top notch outfit, and I would definitely buy from them again and recommend them to anyone.

Is the barrel threaded for a moderator? The latest HW98s are supposed to have this. I asked Krale if their HW98s were threaded and they responded no. AoA indicates that the HW98s that they sell are threaded. Not sure why the difference.

Getting something faster and for less money is a no brainer. I was buying pellets overseas the whole time of the pellet shortage, while on here you had guys clamoring that there were no JSB pellets. There were also 2 businesses up top that advertise on here that had them in stock, while these guys were clamoring there are no pellets.

Yes, the barrel is treaded for a moderator. Great balance. Extra barrel weight is barely noticeable.

Yes, krale is awesome. I've had a .20 cal HW98 on order for 5 months. Now I see your pics and I can't wait. I’ve already got the Weihrauch moderator for it and an AirMax scope, just need the rifle. Report back after you get to shoot it.

I have to say this though! Is it me or does the Weihrauch box look like a cheap China P.O.S? Years ago, I remember a brown rectangular classy cardboard box. This cheap triangular thing with a glossy HW95 pic on a HW98 gun is pitiful. Can’t wait to get it in the burn pit. Problem is I keep all gun boxes. Buried in the attic with the other ugly Weihrauch boxes. What are thinking? Probably just me.

 

[jccams]

Nope all mine are in the attic. Lol Quite a few of those Weihrauch triangular boxes.

What a beauty. Glad the Weirauch quality is still there.

And thanks for making me aware of Krale. I hope the HW97 K that I ordered this morning comes as quickly as your HW98 did.

Let us know how it shoots.

It will, usually 3 days.

 

[TiredRooster]

That is a beautiful rifle you have there. 

I ordered a HW97k from Krale about three years ago I guess. It was a good bit cheaper than anywhere stateside. And yes! The shipping from the Netherlands was unbelievably fast.

 

[Peashooter]

I get the same shipping time.

BUT !

Only up to Denmark, which in the bigger picture are just around the corner.

 

[seangabrell]

Great rifle from a great vendor. Looking forward to how she performs for you

 

[maxtrouble]

Krale has an excellent selection (shush you HW85) of rifles for sale at excellent prices. Awesome customer service with quick replies. Very good shipping rates to the US (Under $60).

I have purchased three rifles from Krale and would recommend them to anyone sitting on the fence.

I just orderd a 98 yesterday. Sent the copy of my DL per their link after the order and then got another email from them this morning, so pasted it into another email back to them, and have not heard anything. I hope I get one with wood that looks that good. and hope I get the fast delivery everyone raves about.

 

[Bear-of-Grayling]

Show us all a picture. I ordered my HW35e from them last Monday afternoon and was unboxing it Thursday afternoon. 

 

[jkingrph]

I placed my order mid day Sunday so hope it arrives by Thursday. I have a VA doctors appoint in a nearby town Friday so might miss a delivery then. I looked at the order on Krale's site and it shows as processsing.

Don’t expect a lot tracking details. It looks like it’s stuck and then it’s here.Totally different than domestic tracking. I just checked on Krale’s sight and it appears you got the last one. They are out of stock.

I ordered a few Weihrauch’s on Jan. 10 and still not here. Canadian Post Office, would of been quicker by Pony Express. Crow

I did not look to see in stock conditions, I just knew it said limited stock when I ordered. I hope that I did nail the last one or at least close to the last. 

I have orderd some small items, watches, fountain pens from a company called Iguana Sell in Madrid, Spain. They ship international UPS and I usually have my order in 48 ours, often less depending on the time of day and day of week that I order.
