Hi Springer 89.

 

The Tartan/diamond form chequering on the last HW97K stock hasbeen out for some years now. It is really nice and deep and the stock overall is very nice. I'd go for that, just for its good looks. I only have one critical comment to make and, I think the comb is a wee bit too high and makes using a 40mm scope on low mounts difficult to use. At least with my fat mush!

 

Just noted the point about the smooth forend version you're wondering about. This is an older gun by the sound of it. Possibly second hand. That smooth forend stock was used on the original Mk.1 HW97 which had an extending moderator end, before the flush version came in some few years later. Not that, that made any difference to its performance. Nothing wrong with that one! But, if £365 is the asking price, I'd want to see this as a fine-condition rifle. If so, it will be a real beauty if so, as it was a cracking rifle from the get-go AND built when Weihrauch were building real gems with none of their quality control let-downs of recent years! And a scope into the bargain...

 

 

If it's in tip top condition. BUY IT!!

Its definitly brand new in the box the package includes a hawke scope smooth forend im going to put deposit on it my final question is 177 or 22 in this particular rifle i kniw there is loads of opinions i will use solely for hunting and vermin control and may get involed in some hft comps
