    I never had a 35 for a long time.
    I thought they were an old outdated design for enthusiasts .
    That was until I was given a .22 one from 1983.
    Well built, smooth to shoot, nice weight and mine is just so accurate I smile when I use it .
    I'm a total convert, from now on there will be space in my cabinet for one.
    It's a far better gun than any of the 77s I've had .

    Hmm, I'm in 2 minds about the HW 35. Bought a new one in .177 a few years back (2013?), it was not nice, got sent back to HC for a rebuild, still not good, but not nearly as twangy.
    But bought an early '90's one in .22, & it's a different animal. At first I thought it had a weak spring, until I checked it on a chrono. Much smoother, just as powerful.
