I had several rifles on order for probably 6 mon. Just got notification their in. Hallelujah. 
The HW98 .22 is one of my favourite HW’s I have. Back in the day when Fisher first talked about his 98 .25 I jumped on board for the 98 .25. Not available and same goes for .20. I will get a 77k in .25 (the only .25 of the 3 I ordered). Apparently .20 and .25 are suspended or discontinued with Weihrauch. I hope I’m wrong.
Has anyone heard anything?

Since the .177 and .22 are obviously the most popular calibers it stands to reason that Weihrauch would devote their efforts to getting those out first. Especially so if they are having trouble getting guns onto shelves as it is. Makes sense to build what sells first, instead of building the stuff to fill a niche that may sit on a rack unsold. 

Just my take on it.

Go on Weihrauch’s website none of the literature shows anything for 20 and 25. I only looked at springers. Hopefully just a Covid-19 thing. Crow

Crowski,

You should be able to buy Weihrauch barrels in .20 and .25 caliber from Pyramyd Air or UK sites. The .25 cal. is likely only offered for the HW80/R1/HW90, but the HW80 barrel fits on the HW95/R9. I converted my HW80 and R10 to .20 caliber with these barrels.

Krale sell the HW97 in .20 caliber even though they maybe out of stock right now ... just need to wait.

It's been a few years since I considered it so take this with a grain of salt, but I sent Krale an email asking about getting both a 97 and 98 in .20 cal and was told that while they could, they were special order rifles for them and it might be awhile since they were at the whim of Weihrauch for when they'd get built.

Maybe email Krale direct, ask and see what they say?? Random guess is Weihrauch doesn't commit to a run of a certain rifle and caliber until they have enough orders for them.

SteveP-52 If I remember correctly it was only about 6 months ago Weihrauch had literature for all the 4 calibres on their web site. Now it’s only two. 
The order I had was a special order because the company rarely carried .20 and .25. Ironically I wanted the 97 and 98 in .20 as well.

I hoping they just can’t meet demands during Covid-19 and when things get back to normal??? they will reintroduce the .20 and .25 again. Crow
