About the Weihrauch HW85
The Weihrauch HW85 is a break-barrel, spring-piston air rifle chambered in .177 caliber, introduced in the mid-1980s as a higher-powered companion to the HW80. It uses a single-stroke break-barrel cocking action and Weihrauch's renowned two-stage adjustable Rekord match trigger, paired with a hardwood stock featuring an ambidextrous cheekpiece and checkered grip. Popular for sport, target and small-game shooting, it was also sold in North America as the Beeman R10.
Sold in the American market by Beeman as the R10, the HW85 earned a reputation among enthusiasts as a refined, accurate springer thanks to its smooth Rekord trigger.
