Weihrauch HW97KT .177 De-tuned - SPECIAL OFFER !
Product Information Weihrauch HW97KT with Thumbhole Stock .177 - De-Tuned - SPECIAL OFFER ! Take 15% off any Hawke scope when purchased with this HW Rifle ! The new 97K thumbhole has arrived and we've had a chance to preview one of HW's newest models. One of the first things you notice is, the stock has been made to suit either right or left hand shooters, with a mild but use able raised cheekpiece on either side of the stock. The customary machine cut checkering has been replaced with a stippled finish that adorns the pistol grip and forearm, and the stippling provides a subtle textured finish that has a good feel to it and a nice degree of grip assistance. The fore-end of this new gun has been re-shaped and is now much more slender with a flow to the front of the stock that reaches it's smallest circumference right below the front mounting screws that hold the action and woodwork together. Before we received the 97KT model, the images of the rifle looked like HW had simply modified the inlet parameters of the HW100 thumbhole stock and dropped the 97 in, but there are actually some really nice features that separate the two. The cheekpiece, stippling, elegantly shaped and slender forearm and the last item, which is rarely found on any HW offering, the adjustable buttplate. This is a very nice custom option that normally adorns FT rifles, so seeing one on the 97K was a pleasant surprise and actually serves a great purpose. The moveable buttplate allows fine tuning of the scope and position relative to the shoulder placement of the stock. On a conventional stock, your head position and view through the scope are adjusted by creeping the toe of the stock up or down on your shoulder or by tilting your head back or forward to gain a good view through the lens. Extra large objective target scopes compound the problem as well as very small lens style models. Adjusting the buttplate on your shoulder is your only option, but with a adjustable pad mounted, you can maintain a very comfortable and much straighter head position which will also help prevent scope cant, increasing overall accuracy. This 97KT has a specially tuned power plant that limits potential velocity to 150m/s or 495 fps with a .177 lead pellet, which permits purchase by anyone who appreciates the superb quality work coming out of one of Germany's finest air gun factories. The 97KT is fitted with the superb " Rekord " trigger unit ( adjustable to under 2 pounds ) and the receiver is grooved for mounting a scope ( not included ). We recommend lighter .177 pellets for use in this model to maintain as flat of trajectory as possible and to extend the range of this lower power rifle. Good pellet choices would include JSB RS 7.33 grains, JSB Exact 8.4 grains, RWS Superdome 8.3 grains. It should be noted that this rifle can be sent in for a upgrade to full power by our service department at any time if purchased prior to acquiring a PAL.
