HW 97 K An idea conquers the hearts of people keen on sports, youthful and young of heart. Weihrauch air rifles offer a lot of pleasure in sports. The underlever air rifle HW 97 K especially developed for field-target and silhouette, well-balanced, easy and smooth cocking. Fixed barrel system with muzzle break, equipped with the proven and world-famous match trigger "Rekord", without sights, handy and elegant stock, especially designed for scope use, high comb, checkered or stippled pistol gr
I went back n forth for months between this and tx200.. finally went with TX in .177.. but the urge for this beautiful rifle is too strong..so getting both..97K in. 22 for sure..can't wait! !!!
I spoke with a fella who is a Weihrauck expert and he says that you can expect well beyond 20,000 shots without issues from these guns. Both guns mechanically are identical the only thing that varies is the configuration of the different models ie stocks,suppressor,barrel length ect
That's only 40 tins of pellets, you won't get any issues at that, not even 100 tins, there so well made and reliable nothing goes wrong, just a spring change, that's easily done, the 97 is the best rifle Weihrauch make, I've had them all Inc Air Arms, yes 97s the way to go a 95 break barrel are lighter and are a good gun, but ya won't be winning any trophies there, some people think there a bit heavy, well go ahead and lift weights get in shape, you won't regret it as you will have the best of the best. mmm well in my opinion and many others the 97s do seem better in 177, enjoy👍
Keith Davis - The Air arms TX200 MK3 & the Beeman HW97 K are both extremely nice guns and both have 5 star ratings. The Air Arms has slightly less cocking effort, though. Thanks, Pyramyd Air Team
Forget the Beeman name, this is a Weihrauch HW 97 K made in Germany and top quality. The underlever in not made of Leather, it's made of Steel. Beeman make nothing, just slap their name on other quality products.
That was a little confusing when I first saw the video. Why is this a "Beeman" when it looks exactly like the Weihrauch? How accurate is this rifle at 50 yards
V Mach do a resettable safety switch you can put on it as well as their tuning kit which really does transform the rifle into springer heaven. Pity it isn't tuned from the factory like the Air Arms TX200 considering the price they charge. Although it is still a fantastic air rifle.
Beeman? That's a full blown high quality Weihrauch hw 97k . Distributed by Beeman by Weihrauch. I also appreciate the HW 35 Weihrauch super accurate. Save your coins and buy hw97k you'll be surprised by the accuracy.
@rjgreat06 you're forgetting that scales of economy play a role in pricing. Each year in the US ~ 4.5 million firearms are sold but the number of airguns sold is a fraction of that.
If you had the choice of the Air arms TX200 MK3 or the Beeman HW97 K, what one would you choose? Both seem to be fine rifles and I just want to know what one is the best overall.
I have read numerous comments on here, and other video sites, from fellows who seem to think, that the "bear trap" mechanism on most, if not.. All (these days) "fixed" barrel air rifles should be either "dis-engaged" or even done away with as an "inconvenience" as one "shooter" said in another post. My response to these "air gunners" would be... apparently none of you have either (personally) experienced the breach slamming shut while trying to load a pellet, or known a friend who has had that misfortune. Not that many years back, such air guns did NOT have them.... but, now they do... and there is a very definite reason for it... and be very thankful, that your Not one of reasons that the manufacturers decided to design the "bear trap" into the guns.... it really isn't all that much "fun" trying to load pellets into a fixed barrel Air rifle, when your missing either the lower half of your thumb, or index finger. Be Safe... and may you always hit, what your aiming at.
I take mine off BUT hold the underlever all the time i load a pellet into the breach . I decock the gun if im hunting and re cock the rifle when ready to shoot
Weihrauch HW97, then made in zee Germany , they should never have put the bee man name to it after all it wasn’t designed or made in the states , 100 percent German , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
which is better and why... Weilrauch hw 77 or beeman hw 97 they're made in the same factory, one has a lifetime warranty , one has a year warranty, and open sights on the 77, does one out perform the other ? thank you
Just a question... I have a German springer (Diana 54 Airking) I plan to buy a better scope. Is it really bad if the scope reaches over the loading port ??? will a ( Hawke Eclipse fastmount 3-9X50 AO IR )be fine on this rifle ? will it withstand the recoil ? I would be absolutely extremely thankful if you could help me on this. Thanks again for the great reviews.
very nice, i have the same hw97 model. and i have a doubt, it is standar out of the box and shoots very nice but i dont like the "twang", if i tune my airgun with a vortek pg2 kit , do you think it can be a good improvment ? or should i leave with the original kit . just for hunting
Put my 2 Springer air rifles in storage cocked. Of course my first 2-3 shots were not very powerful. Question: They were stored for 9 months cocked. What do I need to do? Replace pistons or replace guns. Beeman .177, .22 (2 barrels). Benjamin trail .177. Have not shot in 2-3 years since I realized they were put up loaded. Thanks! Mike P
I am really interested in the hw97 and the R-9, which rifle would be more accurate? I'm thinking .20 cal for accuracy and ability to take out squirells, but I really would like open sights too, how do you think the RWS 34 stacks up to the Beeman rifles ? thanks
@2:34 Air Arms quality control is shocking. I have a theory that they only put the anti bear trap on it because it's cheaper than getting sued when the latch rod and trigger sear inevitably fail. Gun dealer told me the other day that 6 of the 12 EV2s he sold were returned for leaks. Wouldn't get that with a Steyr or a Weihrauch.
AMEN !!... to that ! Just a little fancier stock... with a LOT Fancier Price tag !.... and of course, Dr. Beeman doesn't even own "Beeman" airguns anymore.
is this stock still in the market ? i know it's a HW97K Thumbhole i.ytimg.com/vi/-7q-jogjYyc/hqdefault.jpg c2.staticflickr.com/6/5496/14248959821_eb625b1fa2_b.jpg
hi i own a .22 webley falcon and a .177 asi rapid fire paratrooper and i heard they are rare guns and was wondering if anyone can tell me more about them thanks
how do i adjust the trigger on my benjamin titan gp .22? i know i have to turn a screw behind the trigger, but which way do i turn it, and what do i do with the little latch looking thing that is in the way of the screw?
Hey paul big fan I am stuck and don't want to regret a very expensive purchase on a air rifle I mostly shoot paper target or field target. And want a tac driver out the box without tunning and am stuck on three rifles the air arms tx200 mklll or the beeman weirrach hw 98 or hw97kt elite synthetic. Just want low recoil as you can get with a springer and reliability and same hole shoots if I am capable will still be happy if the rifle is capable of these things lol. Which of these would you suggest?
Gerald Elsbree I have the tx200. Pcp accurasy and not hold sensitiv. best gun ever. i also have the beeman r9.much more hold sensetive. The tx200 i shoot pellet on pellet at 50+ yards. No bull shit!!! Awsome.. sorry for the spelling
@rjgreat06 I hear this a lot from friends. Fact is, it will cost about the same to produce a quality rifle regardless of what type of projectile it shoots, or what caliber it is built in. Some .22's cost more than some .30-30's. Do you consider that wrong? Some 28 gauge shotguns cost more than some 12 gauge guns. Is this wrong too? Some BMW's cost more than some Ford pickups, even though the damn BMW can't haul a ton of gravel. Is that wrong? Quality costs what it takes to produce it.
Paul.. like the way you present your videos and I "Think" that I've viewed Most, if not All of your Springer videos and I don't remember you ever doing any on any of the Hatsan models.... Have I missed some, along the way ?? If you, in fact... have Not done any Hatsans... am curious Why not, and if possible... are you able to ?? IF... you Are able to... could you do some of the more popular models, ie: 125th, 135 (in .22 or .25 or both), perhaps a couple of the underlevers, ie: the 155 Torpedo, 100, 1000X, etc. ? Thank you.. we all appreciate your efforts, it helps in our gun buying decisions... and as money is getting "tighter & tighter" these days... we don't want to be wasting money on stuff that, in the long run... really isn't worth it.... and THAT, is where Complete TRUTH, good OR bad.... about various products comes into play. Thanks again.
Just to let everyone know , there has been so much talk that there is no way to attach a bipod ? Well I bought one made it work called : UTG Tactical Low-profile Universal Foldable Clamp-on Bipod !!!
manufacturers should make a rifle where u put that thing that u keep spining like the bike pedal just like crossbows ,only on realy strong airguns though because they are hard to cock just a though if the idea works write my name on the box :P thnx bye
@rjgreat06 well honestly you could probably get a half way decent air rifle for 250 dollars or even less, and have it tune for a few more bucks and have rifle as nice as this one
It's a 'Rekord' trigger , you say it like when someone has broken a world record .... You don't say it like when someone 'records' a programme on a vcr. It's nice to make the effort and pronounce things as the makers intended. It's also very annoying in films where Americans say 'Robinhood' - all one word , but I'm sure if mr and Mrs Hood , living in a New York suburb , had a son and called him ' Robin' , then he would say that his name was Robin Hood .... If he said his name was 'Robinhood' you'd think he was an idiot. So come on yanks , make the effort to speak properly, you're lovely people , just a little lazy sometimes ;)

Bought a hw97k .177 last week. Love this gun, absolute joy to shoot and so accurate. Cant wait to start field target
The original German name for the gun is Weihrauch HW97. Weihrauch is the developer and producer of this and other "HW"-gifles.
so who's beeman ?
A distributor
Weihrauch 97K , the best spring gun on the market , absolute vermin terminator ,loads of upgrades available too .

Thanks Pyramydair & Thanks Paul. I really enjoy these episodes. Especially when there is a German spring gun.
I really enjoy your reviewing style Paul, an absolute pleasure & very informative.

Your opinion 😂
I have the the Weiharuch 97 KT and the Air Arms TX200 Mk III , they are both awesome, it’s like trying to choose which supermodel to sleep with.
You're still the Airgun reporter! Semper Fi!
Bought one a few hours ago HW97K Brilliant
Hi i am planning to buy an HW97k in .22 cal for hunting rabbits and civets. Just wanted to know if am making the right choice and caliber
And that's EXACTLY why I bought one.👍 Weirauch in .177 UK.
Forget the Beeman name, this is a Weihrauch HW 97 K made in Germany and top quality. The underlever in not made of Leather, it's made of Steel. Beeman make nothing, just slap their name on other quality products.

That was a little confusing when I first saw the video. Why is this a "Beeman" when it looks exactly like the Weihrauch? How accurate is this rifle at 50 yards
I love HW97K but HW97KT is even better.
Take a review of the HW97KT with thumb hole - super air rifle .. ;-)
HW = Fun for a lifetime!
The loudness and DB levels are different.....
DB is actual loudness, but perceived loudness depends MANY different things.
The airgunworld miss you Paul!
No we don't 👎
V Mach do a resettable safety switch you can put on it as well as their tuning kit which really does transform the rifle into springer heaven. Pity it isn't tuned from the factory like the Air Arms TX200 considering the price they charge. Although it is still a fantastic air rifle.
That was an Awesome review !! Paul do you still review airguns ?
Beeman & Weihrauch both are same ?cuz i have seen videos n some people are saying its Weihrauch HW97K?
Beeman? That's a full blown high quality Weihrauch hw 97k . Distributed by Beeman by Weihrauch. I also appreciate the HW 35 Weihrauch super accurate. Save your coins and buy hw97k you'll be surprised by the accuracy.
I have a Weiharuch 97KT which is freaking awesome ,this gun look like a knock off of that.
i have hw97K was delivered in 1995 (indonesia)
@rjgreat06 you're forgetting that scales of economy play a role in pricing. Each year in the US ~ 4.5 million firearms are sold but the number of airguns sold is a fraction of that.

Weihrauch - top quality rifles. Beeman! - I don't even know what that is
Paul does this model have a bear trap ? Thank you
you should review the gamo hunter sport
Please make a video on the beeman silver kodiak x2
you should review the gamo hutner sport
Weihrauch HW97, then made in zee Germany , they should never have put the bee man name to it after all it wasn’t designed or made in the states , 100 percent German , cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Great review Paul!
I was just looking into this rifle, perfect timing.
I am trying to decide between this one or the Air Arms S200.
Thanks again.
Great video Paul
Excellent rifle !!! Thank you Paul .
Paul can you PLEASE review the Titan NPSS?
i gad one of these, but the stock screws unscrewed every 20 or so shots, so i replaced it with an air arms s200
cay nay nhin rat dep va chac chan ,,,uot gi duoc song o my

Why do you guys seem to mount your scopes so high?
How long is that scope please .?
I am really interested in the hw97 and the R-9, which rifle would be more accurate? I'm thinking .20 cal for accuracy and ability to take out squirells, but I really would like open sights too, how do you think the RWS 34 stacks up to the Beeman rifles ? thanks
I got the weihrauch hw 97k blackline i got one problem with it its so accurate that its starts to get boring🤣 but i love it ❣❣
Hi Paul,
In this video, what mounts are you using for the Hawke scope? And do you know the overall length for that scope? Thanks
how many joules does it have?
Could you look into rev. on the Hatsan 100x Torpedo in .22 ?
@2:34 Air Arms quality control is shocking. I have a theory that they only put the anti bear trap on it because it's cheaper than getting sued when the latch rod and trigger sear inevitably fail. Gun dealer told me the other day that 6 of the 12 EV2s he sold were returned for leaks. Wouldn't get that with a Steyr or a Weihrauch.
Ok, your new review of AA Pro Sport on TH-cam shows, that the AA is much quieter.
Beeman my ass , that's a Weirauch. Excellent rifles
AMEN !!... to that ! Just a little fancier stock... with a LOT Fancier Price tag !.... and of course, Dr. Beeman doesn't even own "Beeman" airguns anymore.

@TheBennysal jep but in the us they call it beeman
UNDERLEVER IS ALWAYS BETTER WITH A SCOPE BECAUSE THE BBL DOSENT MOVE EVERY SHOT LIKE BREAK BBL.
isn't this a weihrauch? got the same one
Would you do a test on the hw77 ?
which one better Break Barrel or under-lever ?
is it not a weihrauch?
I have a TX, and I HATE that bear trap mechanism. The Pro Sport is just too hard to cock, too. I wish I could disengage the bear trap on the TX.
how do i adjust the trigger on my benjamin titan gp .22? i know i have to turn a screw behind the trigger, but which way do i turn it, and what do i do with the little latch looking thing that is in the way of the screw?
isnt it the wiehrauch hw97
What Beeman? This is the German HW 97 air rifle, from Weihrauch.
Hi all, what would be a good scope for HW97? Thank you in advance!
.177 or .22
It's a WEIHRAUCH not a BEEMAN!!!!!!!!
Beeman is just a distributor, nothing else!

This is my 5th HW97 these are the best ever
I think the "El Cheap' O's" were directed at Game being they are a Spanish company :p
pleas do the diana 350 magnum
and 35 diana
and 27 panther diana
pleas
thinking of the .20 cal. version ..anyone here have one? or can tell me any feedback?
Because in the(US) thay say it like it sounds (We i hrauch) IN Germany how you pronounces "W" is more like a "V" hence Weihrauch.
@pikemancolley I have a TX200 Hunter Carbine .177 walnut..and yes beautiful rifle.

i ave a break barrel air rifle and would like to try a big bore .45 cal but theris no point if i have to pay 1,000 dollars for it.
I you would call a break barrel spring gun a "Bear Trap" I would call an under lever a cigar cutter if it were to snap shut!
didn't come with one. it came with a scope manual but that is it as far as documents go.
Just to let everyone know , there has been so much talk that there is no way to attach a bipod ? Well I bought one made it work called : UTG Tactical Low-profile Universal Foldable Clamp-on Bipod !!!
thumbs up for the Germans again
a .177 set to 24J is enough for let's say pigeons and small rabbits?
20 meters = 65.6168 ft
price in india
i have a blue laminate version of this gun its beautiful smooth and sleek its elegant and sexy i love it
How in the world is a person supposed to figure out whether to buy this or the TX? Perhaps I'll just stick w/ my CFX.
i just order my ... i’m sooo excited... lol...
Not , I repeat not a beeman , get your facts right !!!!!!!!!!
Wow !
Tack driving son of a gun !
yes those prices are rediculous. i could buy a m&p 22 lr with that money so why would i buy a pellet gun
@MisterWannabee Very very very well said
Thank you for showing how to break the barrels lol
manufacturers should make a rifle where u put that thing that u keep spining like the bike pedal just like crossbows ,only on realy strong airguns though because they are hard to cock
just a though
if the idea works write my name on the box :P
thnx bye
@rjgreat06 well honestly you could probably get a half way decent air rifle for 250 dollars or even less, and have it tune for a few more bucks and have rifle as nice as this one
Press 07:44 over and over again "i love that......."
what happen with thisguy?
dont weihrauch make the HW 97k
They do pal , just a miss informed yank trying to make out they were made in the USA , ffs
@rjgreat06 dude u think thats over priced i own a 1200 dollar air rifle and funny i also own a 30-30 lever action lol
@jordanrussell123 tis what i thought too,
