Here is one of the new pellet rifles I have obtained to dispence with the local pests like crows that get in the trash, and such. Its a HK-97K, german made, .20 cal that generates about 16-18fpe out of the right pellet. I was hammering 15 shots into a dime size hole at 15 yards last night, with three different types of pellets!!!! It has a walnut stock that is simply awesome, a trigger any target shooter would be happy with and a 3-9 x 40 Leapers tactical scope with mil dot reticle. It also has a silencer. Beware starlings, come spring, there is a new sheriff in town!!!!!

Thats a cool lookin' air gun, over here we are limited to 12 ft lbs any more and we have to apply to the police for a firearm certificate.

Gamekeeper, I think that sucks for you guys. I also have a Theoben from your country, a Rapid E that I put a bushnell Elite 3200 5-14x 40mm scope on. Its a PCP gun, precharged to 200 bar, and can shoot 1, 7 or 12 round clip in .22 cal. Delivers 28 fpe. A true work of art that I have to get pictures of yet and post them. I hope to do so before I leave on Sunday. Regards from this side of the pond.

Mike,

May I ask where you bought that?

Homefront,
I believe this is the same gun. HW-97k made in Germany by Weihrauch

Dr. Walker is correct. It is exactly that model. I bought it used from Randy Mitchell who runs the Adventures in Airguns forum. The picture is his. The HW-97K is available through Beeman currently in the third version.

I bought my son a BSA Supersport a few years back. Right on the end of the box flap it was marked Made in U.K. and across the whole thing it was stamped"FOR EXPORT ONLY" which I assume was because it was over the 12 ft/bls. limit for domestic air rifles.

here is the Theoben Rapid E Deluxe with walnut R/H cheek rest, Bushnell Elite variable scope, .22 cal. It has a baffled bull barrel (read silencer) and shoots via single shot or clip fed 7/12 shots. Power comes from fast fill air chamber at 3000psi. .28 fpe and Silent. Excellent trigger. scope has a mil dot reticle and is awesome in brightness.
