Weihrauch HW52 Stalking Rifle

Here's some info on the rifle:

HW52 lever action, falling block in .22 Hornet
Serial Number: 10829 on both the barrel and the receiver
Scope: Lisenfeld 3-7x32mm Voll Vergutete Optik S/N: 38046

Made for a right handed shooter; Monte Carlo style stock with cheek rest; front and rear sling swivels (no sling).

The five photos attached are not all that good. My wife is the better photographer and she will be doing more shots tomorrow. Contact me via email if interested (445BG@cox.net).

First shot is the right profile of the rifle with scope cover on (leather), Next is the left side of the receiver (some pitting); wear visible on falling block; S/N and engraving seen on receiver and part of the barrel S/N. Third shot is the scope mount, barrel S/N. Fourth shot is stock (small blemish near butt plate) and the last shot is the action open and trigger pull adjustment screw.

Scope optics are good. Sight picture is the same as the Leupold Rifle Scope Reticle (German #1) with center post and horizontal side bars.

From a not-too-steady seated and supported position, I put 5 rounds (46 gr HP) into the 10 ring and all holes were connected (half inch from side to side). There are 140 rounds left that will go with the rifle and 60 once-fired casings if you want to reload your own.

Nice rifle looking for a good owner. Varmits, beware!

God whispers in your soul and speaks to your mind.
Sometimes when you don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you.
It's your choice: Listen to the whisper, or wait for the brick.
