Why not hunt around for an old one? They do come up in good nick for reasonable money, almost always .22". New ones have the instruction manual stamped all over the end block, the shorter barrel, very bland walnut wood and inferior grip chequering. An old one is more likely to have nicely figured walnut plus in most cases the elegant 22 inch long barrel.

I can recommend SGC in Dorset, bought there last year. For a new 35E, I'd still say .22". Yes, a 4x32 in low mounts suits very well.

I hope you find satisfaction. All the best with one of the most handsome of springers.
