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

    I don't eat the Rhubarb I grow as all my cats like to crap in my raised Rhubarb bed --- so I give all my Rhubarb to my Mother in law.

    Great! I would do the same to my mother-in-law may she rest in peace .... soon.

    I asked my market gardener friend what he puts on his rhubarb. He replied "Horse muck!"
    "Thats strange" said I "I put custard on mine."

    Anyone got one of the latest versions of the HW35E?

    How do they stack up in 22?

    I am without a rifle at the moment, and want to buy a break barrel springer in the larger calibre. Doesn't need to be laser accurate - just pleasant to shoot and nice to look at. I'll be using it indoors to knock down spinners. I've had dozens of .177 springers over the years, but prefer 22 these days.

    I know I'm in a minority but I do like the old fashioned look of the 35.

    I bought this last year from my 'friendly local gun shop'. A limited edition but they have a few blued ones left. Its a .177 (11ft/bs m.e.) and shot smoothly straight out of the box. I stripped it out of curiosity, as you do , I found a nylon/derelin guide tube. The stock came up lovely after a bit of t.l.c.
