Introduction to the Weihrauch HW77
Introduced in the early 1980s, the HW77 is a fixed barrel underlever spring-powered rifle. It is capable of high degrees of accuracy, especially as the rifle also features the Rekord two-stage trigger. Available as both a full length rifle and a carbine, the HW77 dominated the early days of field target competition shooting.
About Weihrauch
Based in Mellrichstadt, Germany, Weihrauch was founded in 1899 as a small-bore hunting rifle company. Following the impositions placed on German companies following the first World War, the company began producing bicycle parts and mechanical door closers. However, in the early 19050s, when German companies were allowed to make airguns, Weihrauch got back to what it does best. What followed was a string of successful spring-powered rifles, several of which are still in production over 50 years later. In addition, the company’s HW100 and HW110 pre-charged pneumatic rifles are highly regarded.
