FYI - HW97 barrel twist rate

[Miguel Ingles]

I just received a response from Weihrauch regarding the barrel twist rate on the HW97. See attached photo.
The twist rate is 16.3” or 415mm.

I believe all the Weihrauchs are the same twist. Not sure about their 25 calibers though.

Seems like 1-16 was best figuring i found on a hw 95/ r9 as well ..

I'm not a fan of guessing, since it's very easy these days to just flat email the company/maker of a product you want to know details about. They made it, most will happily help and are the best people to ask. I've emailed more than a few and I emailed Weihrauch back in Sept of 2021 to ask what their barrel twist rates were.
Here's the reply I got from them:
Dear Mr. Palone,

we refer to your e-mail of 29.09.2021.

For our air rifles is 16:1.

Best regards
