No shipping horror story here. The HW35K I ordered from Krale's arrived today in perfect condition. There was a small tear in the outer box, but nothing got to the inner box and wrapping. The rifle's box was wrapped in a heavy cardboard and securely taped. This in turn was inside a well fitting outer box packed to eliminate shifting and it was taped very good also.

I didn't see any signs of the box having been opened by Customs, and I didn't have to pay any import duties this time around.

I'm going to play with it before doing a little write-up. I do like the way it feels and handles. But, I'm most interested in how it is going to shoot. So, more later.

Glad to hear all went well. I'm hoping to make a purchase from them in the near future. Nice looking air rifle. Will be interesting to see how you like it.

FYI

My HW77 also came today. Box definitely was opened and taped back together. Inner box looks like it was opened too. Gun was in perfect condition. I will still order from them in the future.

Congratulations, she sure is a purrdy little thing

. Was the savings significant using this dealer plus shipping verses a local buy? Keep hearing of buys from these guys, and wanted to know what was the draw.

Kurt, this one is on sale for about $272 USD shipped(arrives in 3 days). From what I have priced online, one can usually save 20-30%.

Mike, the 98 I bought from them had the full Custom's treatment too. Congratulations on the 77!

Thanks Gary, need to give them a look it seems.

The Krale deal on the 35 is the best deal in airguns right now. It was the HW95 for $299 from AoA. Now I would have to recommend this. That is a whole lot of rifle for the price. Congrats on your purchase.

My HW97K arrived looking like it had been packaged at the end of our driveway 100 feet from the house. My HW30S; OTOH, arrived looking like I'd packed it after a liter of Jamesons. The guns inside both boxes were in perfect shape; however, and there were no duties paid on either

Yes, I'd buy from Krale Schietsport again - no worries mates.

Is the restriction new, I don't remember it being there before. If I didn't have a hw35e and a pre safety 35k I would be all over this deal

What restriction?

I see it on the site at 240 E, but it adjusts to 198 in the order cart. Of course, shipping tacks 40E back on, plus a 3E credit-card fee....not bad!

ONE thing that I've found off-putting on that gun has been the ungainly length. But that's a K-, and I don't see any dealers in the USA with that model. SEXY!

Please tell me if you feel that the breech latch would be awkward for use as a lefty. Thanks! )
Ordered! Guess I'll find out..........

Victor, I'll try opening the latch with my right hand during a shooting session and let you know what I think. My first thought is that it would be okay. Putting my right hand over the rear sight and using my thumb to open the latch is not uncomfortable or awkward...but that is sitting here at my desk.

Joe, I'm with Yogi, I don't understand what you mean by restriction.

pneuby · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2016, 06:04:25 AM »

That refers to being restricted to an adult of 18yoa, from what I see.

Which way does the latch unlock, toward forward or rear?

joek · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2016, 08:17:08 AM »

Just referring to tg ID req. my scanner is down. too lazy to go and get the info LOL still can't get my head around how low the HW prices are in europe.

Wagon · « **Reply #15 on:** April 21, 2016, 09:49:14 AM »

Tempted to order from Europe. Any idea who to turn to in case of warranty needs arise?

Gary in WV · « **Reply #16 on:** April 21, 2016, 12:24:15 PM »

Victor, push it to the front to open.

John, haven't been too concerned about warranty since I've had my other two apart and will probably have this one apart soon too. Unless this one is a dog, I'd rather try my hand at fixing it instead of shipping it off anyway. But, to answer your question directly...I don't know if AOA would honor the warranty or not...probably not is my guess.

Joe, I have my thoughts on the pricing, but they are pure speculation on my part so I won't get into that subject online.

What do you think about the HW85K in .22 cal for about $305?

Yogi · « **Reply #18 on:** April 21, 2016, 01:40:22 PM »

Victor,

I assume you are a lefty?

Sorry I do not mean to hijack this thread.

I'm a righty who cocks his break barrels with his left hand. I load pellets with my left hand.
Anything else and I feel I am doing an natural act.

When loading an under lever, I turn the gun on its side and load with my left hand.
Do you, or anybody else here knows of a left side ported air gun? Either under lever or side, left side, lever action?

Thanks,

-Y

I believe the TX has a left sided action not just a left hand stock.
