    Well, it sounds to me that you really want the HW35E you've been hankering after for years, and are feeling obligated to look at the HW77 as a maybe more practical, and so justifiable item to spend your money on.

    I'm guessing if you get the HW77, you'd still be hankering after the 35E, so I'd get the latter personally.

    Popgun psychology.

    it sounds from the previous posts that the prime function of this gun is going to be target shooting and plinking if there is a difference. this being the case i dont see how you can prefer .22. i have about 12 guns AA and HW and i have struggled for a couple of years now to enjoy shooting the .22 calibre. i only shoot paper it being the most challenging target of all. i,speaking personaly cannot convince myself that the .22 is as accurate as the .177 for this discipllne. i also find very irritating how the .22 pellet rips the hell out of the paper target. i also having had both really dont subscribe to the 25 mill being better than the 26 mill. i believe that if you keep the power down on a .177 to say no more than 11 ft lbs you will not be able to tell the difference. my 26 mill 77k which i mean to take down is running bang on 12 ft lbs and is a tack driver with opens or a scope. a few days ago i did a group half the size of a 5p at 20 yds rested with opens. i have just sold my .22 99 and i only now have a beautiful mark 2 tx200 in .22. i dont like parting with it but i expect it wil be going soon. good luck with whatever you decide. pete

    My-last-springer-purchase

    Hello Arthur,

    Having been laughed out of a local gunshop two days ago when I said I would only buy one more air-rifle - the staff remember me saying three guns ago that I wasn't buying any more - is your statement absolute legally binding, as in "Yes dear this is the very last rifle I'm going to buy - ever!"?

    Go for a used 35 first, enjoy, then ponder the 77 (your last + 1 springer purchase).

    There is nothing else quite like an HW35e. Thank God!

    Buy one, it'll be funny.

    Hi Arthur, get yourself to the boinger bash in October mate, I'll bring both for you to try, personally I only use .22, always have, in my day .177 was for girls (and in my opinion still is) lol, if I'm honest it's just because I can't be arsed with having to empty all the .22 pellets out of my pockets, I like both guns for different reasons, I love the looks of the 35e and it's as accurate as the shooter, the 77 is also a beautiful gun that is very stable to shoot off a bench rest due to the front heavy characteristics, if I could only have one gun, it would have to be an early .22 hw95, I think they just got it right with that one, atb Daz
