Hi all,

I kicked the bucket around many years before I finally bought a HW 97K, and I think mainly because it always seemed to snatch a premium.  But when the exchange rate was just right, we were snagging these for pretty cheap from Krales, (I think around $380 at one time).  As a result I ended up with several.  This one here as many have read in the past, is packing the Vortek 12 fpe kit, and it is one buttery smooth rifle.  Easy to cock and accurate.  Here are some pics I took earlier on, hope you enjoy,

And another, a juiced up HW 97K with the ARH Hornet kit, and Weaver V16 with the duplex dot.  This one zings them along pretty good, little stiffer to cock than the 12 fpe, but still flat and accurate,

Very nice.  I've always been partial to the HW97 and TX200 underlevers.

2nd best rifle Weihrauch ever made.....only to the HW77K MK2!  ? 

Great looking guns bud. I need to get myself another 97, I sold mine to fund a scope purchase  ? 

You really oughta sweet talk Ed into making you an oring piston for one of them. They shoot real snappy and smooth then.

Chase I seen a Mkii not long ago, if the stock was a tad better I would have bought it and started tinkering.  Not sure if the 25mm has any kits available, but I hear they shoot real smooth.  Never shot an o-ring, but I hear they are snappy, not sure if I would like that?  All my tunes are running real good.

Beautiful rifle and a really nice match for one of my favorite powder burners, that Ruger Bisley! I know Elmer Keith would approve of the Bisley... I often wonder what he'd think of the airguns we have these days??
