Weihrauch HW100X-S Sporter Walnut Air Rifle

The HW100X-S is the latest evolution of Weihrauch’s legendary HW100 series. The “X” stands for extra — extra pressure, extra shots, and extra precision. It’s a sporter-style PCP air rifle finished with a beautiful ambidextrous walnut stock, making it equally at home on the range or out in the field.

Whether you’re a seasoned target shooter or a dedicated hunter, this rifle punches well above its weight class.

Which Calibre Should You Choose?

.177 — Best for target shooting

• Flatter trajectory, great for longer distances
• 210 shots per fill — plenty for a full day’s session
• Lower recoil, tighter groups on paper

.22 — Best for hunting and pest control

• More knockdown energy at close-to-mid range
• A whopping 250 shots per fill
• Heavier pellet = more terminal performance on quarry

Our honest take: Go .22 if you’re hunting. Go .177 if you’re competing or punching paper.

Why the “X” Upgrade Matters

The original HW100 was already a world-class rifle. Weihrauch listened to their customers and addressed the one gripe people had — shot count. The new regulator and 250-bar aluminium cylinder together deliver:

• More shots between fills
• More consistent muzzle velocity across every single shot
• A noticeably lighter rifle that’s easier to carry all day

This isn’t a cosmetic update. It’s a genuine engineering improvement.

Who Is This Rifle For?

• Field target shooters who need consistent performance across every shot
• Hunters and pest controllers wanting a reliable, quiet, accurate tool
• Experienced air rifle shooters ready to invest in a top-tier platform
• Left AND right-handed shooters thanks to the ambidextrous stock

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Exceptional build quality — made in Germany
• Outstanding shot-to-shot consistency thanks to the new regulator
• High shot count means fewer trips to the pump
• Beautiful walnut stock that only improves with age
• Ambidextrous design is genuinely useful, not just a marketing claim
• Match-grade trigger is a joy to use

Cons

• Premium price — this is an investment piece, not a budget buy
• No open sights included — you’ll need to factor in scope costs
• Slightly long at 105.5cm — not ideal for very tight hides

Final Verdict

The Weihrauch HW100X-S Sporter Walnut is, quite simply, one of the best air rifles available in the UK today. The combination of a world-class regulator, high shot count, German engineering, and a stunning walnut stock makes it a rifle you’ll keep for life.

If you’re ready to invest in something exceptional — this is it.
