forest of dean redneck 11,543 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I didn’t think the 35 was heavy , preferred it to the 97 I had. 1 Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,587 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 HW95. HW85 are pretty lightweight springers Jimmy. But to be honest, an HW35 ain't what I'd call heavy. Maybe a lightweight PCP would suit him better? 2 Quote Link to post
charlie caller 3,654 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hw 85, order from Germany only, very similar to a BSF B55, better than a 99 in my opinion, but still nice and light and responds very well to tuning. 1 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 HW30s are nice to use Jimmy - they don't make full power but, they're light, well made and easy to use. Quote Link to post
