I saw pre-owned one for sale and wondered if it was worth $525.00, to my door?
I have an Air Arms TX200 in .22 and was considering a good springer in .25.

Weihrauch HW 97k Thumbhole .25, any good?

The 97K might be a little under powered for 25 caliber. From what I read with light pellets in that caliber you might break 600 fps but that is ok if you don't go for long shots.
Air Guns Of Arizona has the HW97k listed for $545.00 out the door. I would rather spend an extra 20 bucks on a new one than risk buying someone else's problem.
Good luck on what you decide.

Same thinking here on all points. I have that rifle in .177 and it is a well made, accurate gun. Thumbhole ergonomics are fine in my view.

You've got to watch out for selling prices, especially here on AGN. Many people here like to think what they have is made of bitcoin and want to sell things for at or dang near full price. You get zero warranty, it's not worth it when you can spend a couple of dollars more and get warranty and customer service.

I have a 80k .25, it’s little more powerful than the 97. It shoots a 25.4 grain, average 558 on crony. I like it, but the squirrels don’t! Also have 97 in .177 and .22,both awesome guns. I wouldn’t buy the 97 in .25. Good luck Crow

Plus 1 on not getting HW97 in .25. I have one in .177 & .22 as well- Both are great, but the .177 is flatter than the .22. I’d only get it in .25 if was going to use it at close range pesting.

Thanks everyone for helping me decide to pass on it. I too was thinking a 97 in .25 might be a little on the weak side, especially since I already have a HP Daystate Wolverine R in .25 giving me 50.43 ft-lbs at the muzzle with 33.95 gr Crosmans. I was just thinking of adding the springer to my stable, which already includes a .22 Air Arms TX200.
