Weihrauch Airguns: German Precision and Power for UK Shooters

Weihrauch is a renowned name in the world of airguns, known for its exceptional craftsmanship, precision engineering and commitment to quality. With a legacy that stretches back over a century, Weihrauch has established itself as one of the most respected manufacturers of air rifles and pistols globally and particularly popular among UK shooters, hunters and competitive marksmen.

A Brief History of Weihrauch
The Weihrauch family business was founded in 1899 in Zella-Mehlis, Germany - an area with a long tradition of gunsmithing. Initially focused on firearms, the company later shifted to airguns after World War II, following restrictions on gun production in post-war Germany.
In 1950, Weihrauch launched the HW Model 50, a spring-piston air rifle that quickly became a benchmark in performance and reliability. The brand has since expanded its product line to include a range of break-barrel, underlever, and pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifles, each built to exacting standards and designed to last a lifetime.

Why Choose Weihrauch Airguns?
Weihrauch air rifles are highly regarded for their German engineering, solid build quality and superb accuracy. Whether you are a target shooter, pest controller or hunting enthusiast, Weihrauch offers airguns that deliver consistent performance and minimal recoil.
Each air rifle undergoes rigorous quality control and many feature adjustable two-stage Rekord triggers, high-grade barrels and precision machined components. Their airguns are also known for being quiet, especially when paired with a moderator - a key consideration for UK users concerned about noise levels.

Top Weihrauch Models Available in the UK
UK shooters have access to a wide range of Weihrauch models, suitable for different shooting styles and preferences. Here are some of the most popular ones:

1. Weihrauch HW97K
A legendary underlever air rifle, the HW97K is a favourite among target shooters due to its fixed barrel and integrated moderator. It features the famous Rekord trigger and is known for its pinpoint accuracy right out of the box.

2. Weihrauch HW100 Series
The HW100 is Weihrauch's flagship PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) air rifle. Available in several configurations such as the HW100S (sporter), HW100KT (carbine with thumbhole stock) and HW100BP (bullpup), this model is praised for its smooth side-lever action, regulated shot consistency and outstanding performance. It comes with a removable air cylinder and includes two 14-shot magazines as standard.

3. Weihrauch HW95
A lightweight break barrel air rifle, the HW95 is ideal for both beginners and experienced shooters. It combines portability with the trademark Weihrauch build quality. The HW95 is especially popular among UK hunters for its power-to-weight ratio and balance.

4. Weihrauch HW30S
Perfect for younger or smaller framed shooters, the HW30S is a compact and easy to cock spring rifle. Despite its size, it doesn't compromise on accuracy and features the same Rekord trigger system found in larger models.

5. Weihrauch HW45 Air Pistol
For those interested in air pistols, the HW45 is a spring powered pistol that resembles a 1911 firearm in design. It offers two power levels and is one of the most powerful spring pistols available. Accurate and durable, it is a top choice for serious pistol enthusiasts.

Legal Considerations in the UK
In the UK, most Weihrauch air rifles are available without a firearms certificate as long as they are under the legal limit of 12 ft-lbs (foot-pounds) of muzzle energy. However, higher powered versions require an FAC (Firearms Certificate). Always check local regulations before purchasing.
