Hi all,
If given a choise between the above 2 rifles in F.A.C but in .177 cal.which one would you choose and most importantly why??.... <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_confused.gif" alt="Confused" width="15" height="22"><!--graemlin:-->

Personally I'd go for the HW80. It has a far better trigger and a better balance than the 350 ( I found the 350 to be very front heavy). And you can tune the HW80 using a FAC Venom kit which makes it even better. The 350 is more powerful.

Just my humble opinion.

He Mario!why am I not surprised to see your reaction on this topic?(and choosing the HW80 instead of the 350M?)<img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->
I'd go 4 the HW80 too,I'm not so into Diana anyway
the 350M indeed is very long and a bit out of balance.It does have a nicely shaped stock 4 shooting standing though.The 350M is more powerfull but not as powerfull as they state,about 320m/sec,just like a 48/52
I thought the HW80 does 280m/sec
but it's all up2 you though,what suits YOU and your goals best
try them,if you can,or at least hold them

I know its not on you list, but another high powered spring gun you should consider is the Air Arms Pro Elite, which produces around 18ftlbs or so in .177 (22ftlbs in .22), depending on pellet used.

This gun shots like a fully tuned job straight from the box, and is rated by many as the finest high powered spring rifle you can buy, straight from the box.

It also comes with a superb trigger which is regarded by many as a match for rechord one on the HW's.

Hey thanks a ton guys,there is a lean towards the hw80 over the 350,as its a bit more refined and pleasent to shoot..the 350 is a very brash weapon.....
