FEATURES

The Weihrauch HW35K is a classic break-barrel air rifle manufactured by Weihrauch, a renowned German company known for producing high-quality airguns. Here’s an overview of its features:

• Break-Barrel Design: The HW35K operates on a break-barrel mechanism, meaning the barrel is hinged at the front of the rifle and can be cocked by breaking it downward. This action compresses a spring or gas piston, preparing the rifle for firing.
• Spring-Piston Powerplant: The HW35K is powered by a spring-piston mechanism, where a coiled spring is compressed by the action of cocking the rifle. Upon pulling the trigger, the spring releases its stored energy, propelling a pellet down the barrel.
• Calibre Options: The HW35K is typically available in .177 and .22 calibre options. The .177 calibre is popular for target shooting and plinking, offering high velocity and flat trajectory, while the .22 calibre provides more stopping power and is suitable for small game hunting.
• Accuracy: Weihrauch is known for the exceptional accuracy of their air rifles, and the HW35K is no exception. Its precision-engineered barrel and consistent power delivery contribute to its reputation for accuracy, making it a favourite among enthusiasts and competitive shooters.
• Traditional Design: The HW35K features a traditional hardwood stock with a raised cheekpiece for comfortable and stable shooting. The stock often includes checkering on the grip and forend for improved grip and control.
• Adjustable Trigger: Many versions of the HW35K come equipped with an adjustable trigger, allowing shooters to customize the trigger pull weight and travel to suit their preferences.
• Automatic Safety: The HW35K typically includes an automatic safety mechanism that engages when the rifle is cocked, preventing accidental discharge until the shooter deliberately disengages it.
• Scope Mounting: While the HW35K is often accurate enough for shooting with open sights, it also features a dovetail or picatinny rail for mounting a scope or other optics for enhanced accuracy at longer distances.
• Quiet Operation: Spring-piston air rifles like the HW35K operate relatively quietly compared to other types of airguns, making them suitable for backyard shooting or hunting without disturbing neighbours or wildlife.

Overall, the Weihrauch HW35K is a classic and highly regarded air rifle known for its quality craftsmanship, accuracy, and reliability, making it a favourite among airgun enthusiasts for decades.

SPECIFICATIONS

This rifle is designed to deliver less than 12-foot pounds of power to stay within UK law. However, FPS depends on the pellet weight and quality, i.e. brand used. Each rifle will perform differently, so we recommend trying different brands of pellets to see what works best in your new air rifle.
