I had given up on the idea of a springer years ago, but I’m so glad I decided to revisit them! This hw97 I just got in last week is amazing, like pcp accurate to 30 yards, and maybe more, I just haven’t done anything further with it yet. Not only is it accurate, but it seems to be accurate with everything I put in it. Today I tried the regular crosman premier hollow points from Walmart. This is a five shot group at 30 yards. After that I proceeded to hit bullseye after bullseye off the sticks with this gun. I was not expecting this at all!
HW/Weihrauch I’m blown away

For that money and a hw i would and do.

Thanks! I’m pumped for sure. Next I want to get an hw that’s a little easier to carry around, but still good for short range hunting. Mostly squirrels, 20-30 yards.

Your new HW97 should be accurate out to 50 yards and beyond, depending on conditions. I shoot a TX200 and can't shoot groups a good as yours. My TX200 keeps me looking pretty good beyond 75 yrds. Gosh but I love my springers. Keep hitting those targets. Orv.

I like the R9/95 myself. You get that extra ummmp in fps .. today's 75y on stock irons ( no peeps or optics) and cphp .177
I just think today there a tad over priced, but aoa 95 luxus is the deal at 499 vs pyair r9 at 529 .

I would say an HW50 over a HW35 to me the 35 is not as smooth a shot cycle or maybe it is just my guns ?
OH ! an HW 50 in .22 YES!!!

Congratulations. The 97 is a great rifle. For the carry rifle.
I have a HW50 and 95. Both 177 cal. Both carry easy. The 95 has more punch.Upvote 0
The hw97k is great (love mine), but it gets heavy fast when carrying in the field. IMHO, the hw50s in .177 a better overall package for hunting out to 35-40 yards.

I wouldn't sell that 97 for nothing. My old Tx MK II wouldn't do that or any of my HW's I have now.

It has exceeded my expectations by a lot, Especially with me shooting it. I wasn’t sure I could do it justice, but I must be doing something right. This kind of accuracy makes me want to shoot it
