HW35 Export?

[TonyL]

Hi Tony,

This will gladden your heart slightly. As you know last year I bought an HW35K and tweaked it from a gun that was almost impossible to cock to something that’s a joy to shoot.

I’ve started going down our club again on a Wednesday evening and last night took the 35 down along with my custom made pcp 0.177 target gun. I spent 15 mins on the 50yrd indoor range ringing 30yrd bell targets then a whole one and a quarter hours on the outdoor range with the 35

With the Hawke 3-9x50 on it I was also putting holes in some big dried thistle teasels at 50yrds on the outdoor range !!

The pcp target rifle didn’t even get taken out of its bag

A most enjoyable evening ( but I shan’t get rid of my PCP’s )

Marvellous!. Quite stunning, aren't they? A classic rifle that feels like it belongs to a different era but can show up so many modern rifles, proving that quality is timeless. Keep enjoying.

Hang on, didn't you have a really nice 35E before, Nick --- I believe you sold it to the Ripper at my place ?




All the best Mick

Twenty terrible minutes I owned that for. This time I am separated from my boingery pals, so have to keep it at least until I am forced to return. That along with some other puffers and a few old school bmx's.

Karen is bringing some seals back next week, and having now put a few hundred shots through it, I can actually say I'm enjoying it. That and it's great for hooking the crisps off the top shelf

Hi Tony,

Yes I think this one is definitely a keeper, especially as it’s got what I believe to be a rarer stock

I got the impression when I did the tuning it thread last year that the 35 isn’t that well thought of but I can’t see why as it’s got the potential to be a lovely gun when fettled a bit.

It’s still got a slight twang, nothing too much but I may have another look some time and see if that can be improved on but for now I’ll just keep shooting it

Out of interest do people put the 35 action into posh stocks ? Like thumbhole or laminated ones ?
