Design and Exclusivity

Weihrauch elevates this edition with a striking red and black laminate thumbhole stock, crafted by renowned Italian stock maker Minelli. The stock is hallmarked with a large ‘125’ figure on the pistol grip, celebrating the anniversary milestone. The gold-plated Rekord trigger beautifully complements the stunning laminate stock. As a numbered limited edition with only 600 units produced globally, its primary appeal is to collectors and enthusiasts seeking a functional heirloom.

Performance and Heritage

Beneath its special exterior lies the heart of a champion. The rifle uses the same legendary, fully-tunable Rekord trigger and fixed-barrel, spring-piston action as the standard HW97. This system is famous for its minimal recoil, incredible shot-to-shot consistency, and match-grade accuracy, making it dominant in Field Target (FT) competitions. The 1899 Edition does not alter this proven performance formula; it simply presents it in a more exclusive package.

Key Features and Specifications

The HW97KT features an underlever cocking system with a fixed barrel for superior accuracy. The 300mm precision-rifled barrel delivers consistent shot placement. The rifle weighs approximately 4.3kg and measures 1030mm in overall length. Available in .177 and .22 calibers, the rifle produces velocities of up to 285 m/s in .177 and 225 m/s in .22. The 11mm dovetail rail allows easy mounting of optics.
