Sorry, it has to be another cop-out from me.
I couldn't possibly pick just three out of all the lovely HWs.......so I'd have to say all of the springers!

The hw100 deserves an honourable mention as it is a superb rifle, but they really are ugly soulless brutes (apologies to all the hw100 fans)

1 -my modern .22 hw50s - because it's just so easy to be accurate with, 2 - the 19" barreled '77 .22 hw35e-same reason, although totally different firing cycle & mine had an outstanding tiger striped(both sides) stock. 3- the hw80 even though i've never owned one they are built like a tank & good to shoot too. The 50s is the first springer I've never been inside the powerplant of as it shoots sooo well & the 35e had the best fit & finish on it's internals I've ever seen in a hw. All i did was soak the old leather washer in hempseed oil & add a lube sleeve to stop the twang with a couple of slip washers & correct lube. It was still on it's original spring with very little preload, so stripping it didn't require a compressor. One of the few guns I regret selling.....

77, 97 and 95/98 if springers are your thing and then the HW100, thread title should really read 'top 5' in my opinion as it's very difficult to pick between these 5 and would very much depend on what 'floats yer boat' so to speak...
