I see there's a few in the sales section.....

HW77K .22, HW100KT .22, HW95K .22. AA TX200 MK3 .22. AA S410 MK3 .177. HW80 .25 HW30S .22. Pistols: Walther CP88 .177, Hatsan Mod25 Supercharger .22, HW45 Silver Star .177, Webley Alecto .177, SMK Victory CP2 .22
There's probably only a couple of rifles that I would like to add to my collection, one being a Prosport and the other being a vintage HW35E in .22
I think a Prosport will arrive first as finding a HW35E that I'm happy with will be a mission
The other thing to consider is which calibre should The Prosport be ..... I'm tending to think .177 as it'll mostly be used to shoot long range targets and plinking.

Purely personal preference, but with a large, heavy gun with swept volume to spare, like a Prosport, TX, 77/97, I'd be plumping for a .177, especially if mainly for long range targets / plinking. Easily well-mannered enough.
And, yes, you both need a '35 in your collections!

Bloody Cult, he would wouldn't he. I will deffo get a HW35 at some stage. I thought (in my extremely limited knowledge) that .22 was a much 'calmer' shoot in a springer ? So, does weight matter when it comes to preference ? Is a lighter weight, say HW95 or HW99 'better' in .177 than a heavier rifle in your opinion Tone ?

Although I'm far from being a Prosport expert, Pauly, I would believe it to be true regarding rounding the edges off on the cocking lever.
At the September Bash, Ray brought along a couple of newly acquired 'Sports (part of an 18 gun purchase haul the lucky cult!) and they both sported the rounded off levers. Lovely they were.

I'm in, great to see its kind of local, no need for my broom stick. sorting payment.
Great to see you immerse yourself so quickly Gavin. I did the same two years ago when I attended my first Bash just after joining the BBS. I promise you will love it, a great bunch of lads and lasses in tranquil surroundings, no cliquiness, no competition, a good old drink if you want it, bonfire, England's best hosts, camping or B&B, try everyone's guns, plenty of targets and.... Oh yeah, must be honest.... On the down-side, we have a certain Captain Bongo bloke who lives there most of the year ! I'll say no more as we have all had to go through that initiation
