    No that is a minging modern one.

    I mean the old 22" barrel one with the lovely walnut stocks, the hog's back comb and the long slender pistol grip.

    That is modern one with the chunky monkey stock made of nasty cheap walnut and a 19" barrel with what looks like a robot's sex aid on the business end. Bleurgh.

    I agree, the hideous robot sex-aided HW35E is an abomination and although mine is a new model with 19" barrel, it sports trad open sights and the nicest walnut stock I've seen on a 35E.

    To my eternal shame, yes

    As a teenager, the HW35E was my first brand spanking new air rifle, purchased for around £69 by the meagre wages from fruit picking during a long hot 1970's summer. I never believed any rifle could be so pretty, but then the evil empire that is AA (evil because it bought out and shut down my beloved Falcon) produced the Pro Sport and from that moment on, I turned to the Dark Side.

    An inspiring story and a path we should all follow to righteousness.

    Except I left out the first bit and just luckily went straight to the Prosport

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    It is thee who should be shamed, not I.
