Hw35 Keep Or Sale

[Grey0809 1]

Hi just testing the water really, I have a hw35 with Simmons scope, I've had it it for years, any idea is it worth keeping or get rid, cheers

Keep it. You'll regret it if it goes. Rifles can pull on the heart strings, especially if it's worth a quick tune and refurb. Just save for another HW.

 

My two pence.

The HW35 was always a great rifle and still is. Simmons are one of the very best makes of scopes you can clamp onto a Weihrauch air rifle in my experience. Sounds like you have a potentially awesome shooting rig. Go out and give it a thorough range session over several days and see what you have then.

 

If you aren't producing tight, one hole or cloverleaf groups with it, at 30-metres range then, either you need to sort out a better pellet or you need to adjust the trigger a little. Or you need to get more practice with shooting a spring rifle.

 

Don't flog it yet or you'll regret it!

i'm bringing one back to life just now. had one many years ago and never found a better springer. so i bought an old tatty one. its up and running great after spending a massive thirty quid on it. built like a tank .and shoots like new. just need to tidy the metal a little now. will stick a pic up later. (dont sell it. handy to have around )

Cheers guys had the stock treated a few years back which has brought out the grain, barrel need rebluing but not bad few it's age, just wondered are they worth much these days, also how do upload pics on here thanks again

you can pick em up pretty cheap if they need a bit of work. but at a guess in good condition arouind 100 / 150. depending on model scope etc.

hi,

 

I would say keep it, I think they are a bit under rated by some but they are a very good air rifle, they are a little under powered in standard trim but if you do a bit of a tune on them they produce a nice bit of power, also there not that heavy (which I like) like some of the others out there, I have a hw35k in .177 with a v mach kit and its around the 11lb foot pound with hawke sights, and its perfect, I actually prefer using it to my hw77k (which I may sell)

if I was you, I would give the 35 ago with a tune and see how you get on, (I bet you will love it) then you could make a decision,

over thirty years old. in bits.

 

 

 

 

its all back together now the stock is tidied up. the workings have been cleaned up any damaged worn parts renewed. now it needs blued but is shooting really well. great old gun built to last.

[Cleanspade 3,322]

back together and in good order still could do with blueing
