With me, I have to say my HW50. I have HW30s, HW35s, HW95s, HW97k, and an old HW77. The 50, while it is very accurate is not fun to cock. I just don't like when you get to the last 25 percent of the cocking stroke that the effort increases dramatically. If not careful, the barrel can jump out of your hand and snap shut. This has happened to me a couple of times. Otherwise, it's a fine rifle, but I would rather shoot my 30 or 95.
 
I never bonded with my 1992 Hw 80 that's because I had an R7 Tyrolean at the same time.
Love using both my olde skool 77's ...proper rifles👌
 
HW 97. It's as accurate as my HW 100 but it's just so heavy.
My HW 35 is about the same weight but has much better handling .
 
The Single worst HW air rifle i ever shot to date is a lad from york i know let me have a shot with his HW77 in a Sheffield stocked CS1000 stock great rifle but my left handed shooting made operation some what compromised, it looked awesome though and i did like the fore grip position
 
If one has an HW they least enjoy shooting, then one should sell the miscreant outlier & move on...
Just because I have a least favourite doesn't mean I would sell it.

My favourite was also the cheapest and that's the HW35.
I want to be buried with it.
Then in a thousand years or so a future Tony Robinson will find it and wonder what it was for.
Better include a tin of pellets.

Time Team 3000 will probably have you down as a Warrior King buried with your prize weapon !
 
Not a criticism, by a long shot, merely an observation - in all my days, until becoming a member here, I've not heard so many " I can't get in with"/ gripes about rifle stocks, EVER...
do folks
A) not shoulder rifles ?
B) not make a bit of adaptive effort ?
C)not budget for a stock that suits ?
D) break out a saw ?
 
I had a HW90 in 177, nice looking rifle, fantastic quality but the shot cycle was jarring at best.

Shame because I always wanted a 90 when younger but compared to a well sorted 99 or 95 it was very harsh.
