Availability is excellent as is parts / tuning goodies availability.

The HW99 is fantastic on opens, too, but maybe too recent?

So maybe the original HW50? Very nice, sweet shooting mid-power rifle.
Yes Tone, the 35E would fit the bill I reckon. I did once own an unusual 35 which I sold to John (johnbaz) although I dont really remember shooting it much.
