The history of Weihrauch

Founded in 1899, Hermann Weihrauch Sportwaffen has developed into one of the world's most respected manufacturers of air rifles and sporting firearms. Following the Second World War, the company increasingly specialised in airguns and quickly became synonymous with German quality and precision. Unlike many manufacturers, Weihrauch has continued to manufacture the vast majority of its products in Germany. This allows complete control over machining tolerances, material selection and final assembly, ensuring consistently exceptional quality across the entire product range. Today, Weihrauch air rifles are trusted by shooters in more than one hundred countries and remain a benchmark for precision spring-powered and PCP airguns.

Why are Weihrauch air rifles so highly regarded?

Ask experienced airgun shooters to name the finest spring-powered air rifles ever produced and Weihrauch will almost certainly be mentioned. The brand has earned its reputation through exceptional barrel quality, superb trigger systems and an incredibly smooth firing cycle. Rather than concentrating solely on power output, Weihrauch focuses on consistency, balance and practical accuracy. This philosophy has made models such as the HW97K and HW100 favourites among precision shooters around the world.

The legendary Rekord Match Trigger

One of Weihrauch's greatest achievements is the Rekord Match Trigger. This fully adjustable, all-steel, two-stage trigger has become the benchmark by which many other factory triggers are judged. Its crisp break, predictable release and precise adjustability allow shooters to maintain perfect sight alignment throughout the firing process, contributing significantly to the outstanding accuracy for which Weihrauch rifles are famous. Even decades after its introduction, the Rekord Match Trigger remains one of the finest production triggers available on a spring-powered air rifle.

Weihrauch precision barrels

Another major reason for Weihrauch's outstanding reputation is the quality of its barrels. Manufactured to extremely tight tolerances using premium steel, these cold hammer-forged barrels deliver remarkable consistency and accuracy with quality pellets. Combined with Weihrauch's precise engineering and excellent trigger system, they make many Weihrauch rifles a popular choice for Field Target, Hunter Field Target and precision target shooting.
