After I got the first HW35E in .177 I had to repeat myself with the .22. They are night and day apart! Those 35Es made me add more HWs, some stronger and one even more interesting: HW30S .22! This little gun is only 5.5 lbs and is now sighted in at 20 yards consistently hitting within a half inch with the .22 JSB Exact Heavy! It loves heavies.
I have two .177 cal. HW35E's. One is a pre-owned stainless version tuned by Motorhead. The other is a new DIY lube tuned, albeit with Moorhead tophat and guide on the OEM mainspring. Both wear Nikon Prostaff EFR 3-9x40 scopes. Both seen to prefer CPHP pellets above all others???The HW35E's are indeed pretty but, neither of these rifles are; thus far, as accurate as my DIY tuned & scoped, HW50s, HW97K, Diana 34, Beeman R7, or even my scoped, and somewhat plebian, HW30S. Is it me or the rifles....'The Shadow' knows.....
