Is it wrong...

Forget most of what's been said.

Any other HW, you'd be right in thinking 'I should get an old one because the old ones are better'.

HW 35 is the exception.

I say get a new '35 E in .177 cal.


Oh yeah.

Are you still trying to sell that POS?

Me? Good God no! If I had one (which I don't), I wouldn't never sell it.

And what's this I hear you've been going about saying the HW 95 is your favorite springer??

My 95 is my favourite springer I own. Currently.

The irritating safety warning stamped on the rear block is a deal breaker imo. Why a sticker couldn't suffice I'll never know, and its much cheaper. This is PC compliance at its worse.

I suspect this may driven by American legal requirements. The USA is a very litigious country full of greedy lawyers.

As for the 35 it is still popular and there must be a reason for that. Most of the haters don't like it because they find it ugly. Those who love it praise its elegant, classic lines. I am in the latter category.

Personally I find modern Daystates extremely ugly, but others think they look wonderful.

Out of the box, the HW80 and 95 are two of the most disappointing air rifles I have ever owned.

Scratch your itch by all means. If you find you have made a mistake, you will always be able to sell it. Especially if you get one with a walnut stock. Best in 22 with a small scope in low mounts.

I've got a blue laminate one in .22 it's definitely different to everyone else's boring wooden stock ones :-)

I'm not sure I'd heap that much praise on the looks, but I class myself as a "like" rather than "loathe". I suppose I'll just have to shoot one.
