Just watched a 30 minute video by Airgun Exploration & Advancement Channel and now i am seriously considering an HW30s.I had my mind set on the HW35. Good thing is i am still collecting my pennies for a new rifle.from the video it looks compact and as the reviewer described it is an all around gun, great for plinkin, paper punching and even hunting.The range that he was testing the rifle at was 30 yards. I mainly shoot 15~16 yard indoors. Outdoors i will shoot maybe up to about 35 yards max.I presently have an HW97K (16FPE) and R1 (19 FPE) both in .22 I have a Crosman 1377 that I am going to sell so that I can get another spring gun in .177Originally i wanted the HW35, because of it's barrel lock and power level of about 10~11FPE which is perfect for my needs.But seems that from what i've read the HW30s in 6~7FPE is capable of the tasks i would use the HW35 with, which is plinking , paper punching at 15 meters and squirrel pesting at about 20~25 yards.
I've taken more squirrels with a 30S than any other rifle. Really no need for anything more in a modest suburban yardAs 457 stated, a Vortek kit adds a little extra punch @8fpe.
