Which new quality break barrel?

[Iggypot]

I think we all have different experiences with these things.

I bought a new HW35E a few months back from Krale, I’d always wanted one so took the plunge. I wasn’t expecting much, so many reports of it being long in the tooth and struggling to get over 10 ft lbs etc....but mine seem pretty good. It’s .22 and doing a very respectable 11.5’ish and it seems well put together.

Having said that I wouldn’t rule out the 99s, it’s a belter. Every time i shoot it I’m amazed at how efficient this little, lightweight rifle is. Mine is .177, had nothing done to it and running around 11.4 with JSB RS

Forgot to mention the 35 in my earlier post but to me the 35e is one of the nicest things HW produce

the latter synthetic sealed (slightly longer stroked) HW35s, with non-leaking breaches do shoot very nicely, and I'd certainly consider getting a 16" barreled one if I was looking to buy new and not modify.

How do the 35’s shoot in. .177 straight from the box, been thinking of trying one for a while now but it would have to be .177

Pretty nicely.. For quite some time now HW have used the two-piece guide which bestows nicer manners than the older steel guide. If the spring's a decent fit it will be very refined. They make the power easily and are very accurate. If you were unlucky and the spring to guide fit was loose, just a little hand finishing and snugly fitting guide and top hat will result in a very refined shooting machine.

Very heartening to hear this from one of our most esteemed shed tuners.
