HW35 - anyone have one?

[Nikoman]

...I guess Niko put his Webley to your head and made you do it, lol.

For some reason Mark is deathly afraid of Webleys
So it didn't take much to get him to cough up this information.
Although he does have a UK Patriot.....
which he's afraid of shooting.

I think it has something to do with him knowing that if he shoots a UK Webley, he will fall in love and as a result sell off all his air rifles to fund the purchase of UK Webleys.

[Nikoman]

Nah!
That guy is so married to his Germans he would never give them up for a Brit.
I've been working on him for months for a TX200, someday he WILL cave!!!
Even if I have to tie one of his Feinwerkbau barrels around his neck
Funny thing is I give him a hard time about the German guns and I own several myself and I've driven nothing but German cars for the last two decades.

same here, german cars, watches, real guns but english springers, looking closely at an hw though.

[Calmark]

You guys have me all wrong.  I'm a fan of both the UK and German-made springers.  Come on, what's not to love about them both?    Why limit yourself to only one brand.  Variety is the spice of life as they say. 

Serdac, if you want to try to reach 12-14 fpe in a Weihrauch, your choices would be an R9/HW95, R1/HW80 or perhaps a really souped up HW35 in .22 cal.  The first two should easily be capable of that fpe level, though getting it out of the HW35 would probably be a stretch and you risk having a harsh shot cycle.  I have two nearly identical HW35s and I'm going to tune one for power and leave the other at low power to keep its easy-cocking and smooth shooting characteristics.  Once I finish souping one up, I'll try to post the information so people can see how that particular rifle responds to being power tuned.  I will say, if I had just one HW35, I'd probably just aim for 10 fpe and be quite happy with it shooting at that level.  That seems like it would be a sweet spot. 

[serdac]

Your right, I been reviewing the numbers and think the 95 will fit my needs best. Going to see if I can order one now.

If were me I would ask the dealers that stock them to send 2- pictures of any 35e that have unusual stocks. One of them did it for me recently & bought it immediately. 18.5" is the new version. Fit & finish is as good my 1979 35 IMO.  I would also get it .22 as I bet all you get is a solid quick thump with it & that is it.I think at 620. they are a bargain as a stock as good as it & it is good ,would be at least 450. up from anyone. I love the latch system & it is easy, easy to get used to. I have a few springers & don't buy into the just get an r9 for lesss doe. The 35e to me is leaps ahead in the smile department when handled & shot down range for me.
