About the Weihrauch HW50

The Weihrauch HW50 is a German spring-piston, break-barrel air rifle chambered in .177 (4.5mm) and .22 (5.5mm). A mid-weight sporter from Hermann Weihrauch's long-running HW range, it pairs a beechwood ambidextrous stock with the renowned two-stage adjustable 'Rekord' match trigger, an automatic safety, a tunnel front sight with interchangeable inserts and a micrometer-adjustable rear sight. In .177 it produces a muzzle velocity of around 235 m/s, making it a popular plinking, target and small-game air rifle.

Hermann Weihrauch Sportwaffen, founded in 1899, built its reputation on precision spring-piston air rifles, and the Rekord trigger fitted to the HW50 is widely regarded as one of the finest factory triggers ever offered on a sporting airgun.
