Description
With over 100 years in the air gun business, Weihrauch definitely has what it takes to create a great springer.
The HW97 has been a proven design for the German manufacturers as one of their first and finest underlever field target rifles. Ideal for target shooting and small game hunting, this rifle will not disappoint with is accuracy and solid design.
The Black Line STL designation comes from its "Stainless-Look" Finish, which gives the action, barrel, and underlever a silver metallic sheen. Each STL features an ambidextrous Monte Carlo stock with stippling on the grip and forend, along with a rubberized butt piece for a comfortable and secure hold. Never to be understated, the HW97K includes the world renowned Rekord trigger—a crisp clean breaking 2-stage trigger sure to please airgunners straight out of the box. There are no open sights so you can choose your own optics for the 11mm Dovetail rail.
If you want a rock solid underlever with the power for field target and small game hunting pick up the HW97K Blackline STL and see why Weihrauch’s been an icon of German air arms for over a century.

2 of 2 Weihrauch HW97 Black Line STL Reviews
I know that wood stocks are prettier, but this black stock with the stainless steel barrel looks really cool. I took it out of the box and really cleaned out the barrel, then I took it to the bench. Within 20 shots it was grouping very nicely and by 50 it seemingly hit its groove. I use it for silhouette so I sighted it in at 20 yards(chickens) and soon had 5 shot groups under a dime with all of the pellets touching. When I moved out to 45 yards(rams) I almost instantly I had it down to a nickel. This is one very accurate springer. It is very easy to load with a large port that opens when cocked. Last but not least I want to say something about the trigger. The reason I got this gun was my previous air rifle was good on accuracy but I could never get used to the trigger, this one is awesome. It is smooth, crisp and breaks consistently. I have not turned down the weight on it yet but it is probably the best trigger I have ever used on an air rifle.
Things I Would Have ChangedI would like spacers that could be added to the butt plate, it seems a little short to me while shooting free hand. This is not a deal breaker by any means, but it would be nice. It is a little heavy if you are going to use it for hunting, but since I use it for targets I feel this is actually an advantage.
What Others Should KnowSince this rifle requires what I would consider medium to heavy force to cock, I would definitely recommend it for adults. I do suggest that you clean the barrel very thoroughly when you get it to get all the gunk out of it, then periodically as needed. I have had good luck with most of the pellets I have tried but the best are the JSB Diabolo Exact Heavy. I assume as with most airguns you will have to try several different ones to find the best for your gun. I would recommend also that you purchase a very good scope made for air rifles, two reasons. First this gun deserves a good scope and it will get the most out of one. Second it does seem to have quite a bit of shock to the scope. The first scope I used was okay but did not hold up long, I got a Hawke Airmax and have not had any problems since. This is a really good gun that I am very happy I own.
