The Gun You'll Never Sell - The Keeper


Recommended Posts

I am inspired by the HW80 thread, a gun I have never owned but maybe one day...

 

My keeper is a .22 HW35. Circa 1983, I bought this when I still had my BSA Meteor and Vulcan Custom. i used to argue with a friend that i couldn't see the point of having a German gun, believing what I read in Air Gun World/Air Gunner about their great weight and no advantage.

 

Well.. I bought it off my welding teacher. How wrong i had been. Everything else seemed sub-standard. It wasn't that heavy, but it handled so well. It was very accurate and has been my No1 bunny basher over my hunting life.

 

Other guns have come and gone, i have other guns I will probably keep, or be reluctant to sell, but this one, shabby wood, bluing not so great, showing signs of wear in the barrel hinge, so what. I pick it up and shoot things. It fits me (or I fit it) and feels so comfortable.

 

So what is your keeper?
