Lol cheers pal 😀 I can get the same results with my .20 hw99 but the 97 feels easier to shoot with the extra weight and it is more accurate at long range
 
Yep, that’s about right. An epic gun and one that had my vote recently as the best airgun ever made.

Iconic. 👍

Right, I’m asking an honest question. I don’t want your favourite, that’s easy, I want you to tell me what you think is the greatest air gun ever made and your reasons why.

I love all guns, old and new. I’ve owned PCPs, SSPs, Gas Rams, Springers and CO2s. There is one above all others that I rate as the best air gun ever made.

Which one?

The Weihrauch HW97….

These things just go forever, don’t cost the earth to begin with and with tuning can be made PCP accurate. In fact, with countless custom parts available, there’s no limit to what can be done…or……leave it exactly how you bought...

Hi thanks pal appreciate that,yeah it's not easy is it loosing a loved one 😓
 
What a beautiful rifle, and an even more beautiful tribute to your father ❤️

I also have a tuned 97 (Stage 4 Titanium Paul Short). I had shot a few rifle prior to my purchase, but only to get a feel. Below is a 5 shot group, shot last Saturday indoors at the 50 yard back wall. The top shot was my aim point. Pretty much four through the same hole, and I pulled the final shot. Always happens when I'm on a roll 😅

@Jay Butts To be fair Jay, that was well rested, with the Falcon scope, and I wasn't tanked up on coffee. Later on the groups opened up as the coffee flowed 😂
