I became acquainted with the top-of-the-line quality of Weihrauch when I returned to shooting some years ago. I soon had a number of Weihrauch spring piston rifles and a few air pistols as well as a couple of HW 100's, Weihrauch's superb PCP rifles. I shot them often for several years at my folks' summer place on beautiful Lake Penage, not far from where I live. When my now elderly parents sold the place, which was like my private shooting range for airguns and a great place for boating, fishing, and relaxing, I gave up air rifles and moved on to powder burners and shooting at a range. Unfortunately, my club range has been closed for much of this summer and I anxiously await to try out some of my new and new-to-me .22LR's. Until a few weeks ago, I had never seen a Weihrauch small bore rifle.
I recently received this new 2017-made HW 66 Production. It has a two stage trigger that came out of the box at about 7.5 ounces. When I can take it to the range I'll take some pictures outdoors where the lighting is much better.
Below is an HW 66 Jagd Match made in 1991. It has a heavy barrel with a 0.850" diameter. The double set trigger is at a very nice 7 ounces. The stock has extensive stippling. I hope to be able to shoot it soon. This rifle came from a friend here on CGN. (Edit: this rifle was originally mis-identified as an HW 60 JM)

Finally, below is an HW 60J, a more traditional German hunting rifle. Made in 1984, it also has a two stage trigger that lets off at 8 ounces. The rifle came to me sans rear sight, but a generous Weihrauch aficionado from Down Under has kindly put one in the post for me.
