Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

Actually over a grand. My mistake in the text, this is in .22WMR. I have same in .22LR but I had the stock checkered and an ebony fore end fitted. I will probably leave this as it is. The Weihrauch rifles are under rated. All steel construction ( a little on the heavy side) but function flawlessly. The magazines on these are beautifully made. Unfortunately many manufactures make a great rifle then fail with the magazine.

How do you rate the HW66 vs the 1710? I'm led to believe the Weihrauch is a lot closer to the Anschutz than the 2.5x cost difference would indicate.
If I hadn't found a great deal on a 1717, I'd have ordered an HW66 in .17 HMR by now. But I've never actually shot one.

Hi PaulNZ, in my humble opinion the Weihrauch is way under rated and it’s price point far below the quality you get. Machining is VG and magazine and feeding far superior. Very underrated I think. Accuracy also very good.
