I bought mine in Sept 1971. Took all of my 1st months wages £29.99 It was from Allsports in Gloucester I think. As far as I can remember it was very early on when they first came into the country. Before that it was the usual choice of BSA Airsporter or Webley Mk 3. I still have it but have no where to shoot these days.
Just a little tip you may well want to adopt, when you close the breach after loading operate the breach release to stop it from forming a groove in the breach block, that will be cut in over time , stay safe 😊
If you buy a Weihrauch there is no need to look at other brands. You buy te best springer on the market period. My 35 is from the eighties and still shoot like a dream
Arguably the best of the HW range .Not overpowered,relatively heavy by modern standards, devastatingly accurate and a joy to use with iron sights.The fact that this gun is still in production says it all- from the early Fifties 'til the present is a testament to how good this gun is.The trigger is a joy in itself.
It should be said that the latch is weak and won't hold zero with a scope. With the factory irons it is fine and a good shooter. It was designed way before anyone thought of putting telescopic sights on a springer.
@@starling61Maybe yours is worn or similar, I've had a few 35s over the years and I've always put a bit of preload on the spring for the latch, and kept well greased, cracking rifles and they shoot better at around 14ft/lb in 22 using FTTs
I stumbled onto your channel while looking for reviews on this gun. Man...I absolutely love your camp. At 75 years old, I still love to get out and camp at least a couple of times a year, usually during squirrel season and deer season. I am just getting into pellet guns just for the fun of it and may hunt with one this coming season. I just purchased an Umirex Fusion 2 to plink with but would like something with more quality and traditon. My mother once said, "Quality has no fear of time." I subbed and will check out your vids with some benge watching.
Hello, Back in the 70's and 80's this was the main springer. Everybody in the know was shooting a HW35. In my opinion the best rifle overall that has stood the test of time, and still going strong. ScottinUSA
I’m a Weihrauch man through and through having two HW 95k’s in 177 and 22 and the blue laminate HW97k in 22 which is my favourite and also a HW99s which is my grab and shooter for the odd rat that appears in the garden, then my HW100 KT In synthetic which is my main rat basher. I’ve had all makes of airgun over my years but have settled on Weihrauch’s for main springers you just can’t beat them in my opinion they just keep going and the build quality is second to none.
A really classic air rifle with a good impact, I would think it is at the better end of the scale, but a scope of good quality will give this air rifle just what you need in terms of accuracy and natural look. Just wanted to say congratulations on your Weihrauch HW35.
The HW35 is a solid choice and remains one of the best break barrel spring rifles. Often overlooked in favour of the 'workhorse' HW80 and sleeker profiled HW95, but the barrel lock up and traditional style stock of the 35 lend themselves to comfortable and quiet operation. The powerplant design operates comfortably below 12ftlb, excellent trigger and the rifle is very well built, high quality over all. It's relatively heavy so a sling is a good upgrade but the weight helps accuracy. I have one in 177cal which just so happens to have very nice grain in the dark beech (I think) wood stock.
Yours sounds like mine, 177 HW35 with a beech stock built in 1980, no chequering, no pistol grip, just plain beautifully finished beechwood. I've changed the breach seal but done nothing else to it? do they loose power??
@@michaelfitton4645 All spring rifles can lose some power over time. When new they may gain some power during the initial break in period as new seals bed in and grease settles etc, then over time the spring will 'take a set' and after multiple tins of pellets the spring will be weaker than it was to begin with and may become canted (bent) or even break (another good reason not to dry fire). Piston seals deteriorate over time also but remember, with spring guns power is not the only consideration. A quiet, consistent and smooth shooting old HW30 with a crisp trigger may be shooting well below 10ftlb yet the performance and accuracy of that high quality old gun will likely be much better than the majority of brand new off the shelf full power plastic fantastic break barrels.
I've got a weihrauch hw97k in 22 built in 1995 still a very reliable and deadly accurate air rifle. Also got the bsa lightning xl se in 1.77 another great bit of kit. Enjoy the shooting.
Just came across your video. 100% the HW 35 is an outstanding rifle. Mine shoots raggedy one hole groups easily. Pellet of choice, Bisley LRG. Not always easy to get hold of. Have to have mine posted down to me in Cornwall. Cheers.
Just bought a 1982 HW35e version . All original fittings and a Japanese Original ( scope name) 4x32 fixed power scope. All very clean and still tight action
Good video.. I agree terrific air rifle.. I have a 35e from the 70s with a 22 “ barrel. Only gripe I have that it is very heavy especially with a scope . But I’m getting on a bit and not as strong as I used to be , so now I manly use a BSA super sport ... good rifle as well and a lot lighter ... 👍
My Weihrauch HW35 is from 1955. Which makes it just a year younger than my Dad is. And it still shoots on point and can break a 1 mm aluminum sheet given the right angle as well as i once shot down a hanging old dusty cob web (!) from about ten meters with just two shots (one shot one half, one shot the other). It 's a mighty fine rifle. Talking about small game- what sizes did you mean by that?
That is a very nice air rifle. I shoot an extremely rare Smith and Wesson model 77a. In 22 cal. Extremely accurate and powerful. It's ashame this quality stoped in the early 70s here in the U.S.
Hello my friend, Thank you for your video. Your camp looks fantastic, a real get a way from it kind of place. I began my air rifling journey only a few years ago, in my fifties now. Ive wanted them all my life. If I may politely say, beware of the nice position you are in at the moment. Have you heard of the saying, Beware of the hunter with only one gun! This means, if you only have one gun, thats the gun you go yo every time, pick up and use. You'll soon know it inside out and be fiercely accurate with it, as opposed to having a cupboard full and not knowing how any of them shoot. Good luck with your HW35, it looks a beautiful unit. Enjoy your time in your smallholding and best wishes to you, my friend.
I recognise that beautiful Rifle! I have one that was my Dads (and the 1st gun I ever fired!) a 1980 HW35 original with a beech stock in .177, not a single mark on it! still works beautifully, (they need a licence here in N.Ireland/Ireland). Also a .22LR CZ455 Thumbhole stock, to be fair a 100 round box is pretty small too! and cheap. Also a WW2 Russian Mosin Nagant 7.62mm....OK the rounds are big and £1 a piece, and it aint quiet, and it aint gonna break!
The trigger is insane. Adjustable from hard resistance to impalpable release. But be careful: at the very softest setting, the slightest impact on the rifle or even the weight of the trigger itself when the barrel is pulled up to a vertical position is enough to trigger the shot. Judging by the lightness with which you cocked the gun, you use a normal 7.5 joule spring (max. permitted in Germany for free air rifles). Try the 16 joule export spring! I did it as a teenager, the first shot went through the bullet trap (self-made from oil drum sheet metal), the door behind it (unfortunately only better cardboard) and the fuse box on the wall. That caused a bit of trouble with my father, who didn't even knew that I knew that he had this gun and where it was... Now, some 40 years later, the video inspired me to get the gun out again (which my father has since given it to me) and check its condition. Nothing to find, even the seals are in perfect condition.
I've just been given one of these, it was rusty and well worn I'd say 20 years old maybe. So I cleaned it up and Holy shit this gun is so nice to shoot, the iron sights are a joy to look down, the trigger is very sensitive though, I prefer it to my remington sabre th which I just bought new (scope upgrade)
Great to see you. Very nice wood stock on your air rifle. I'm running a Gamo magnum 1000fps. 1000fps is just under the speed of sound. Accuracy goes down as you exceed the speed of sound due to thermodynamic changes above that speed. I'm getting dime size groups at 100 yards with a scope. I aim 4-5" lower at 50 yards. Definitely a game changer for small game hunting. Thanks for the show mate. 👍sorry
@@JohnVentarino-ey5ln You have to zero it at 100 yards to get an arching shot to 100 yards. The height of the arch will be around 4". Aim 4" lower at 50 yards to hit your target spot on at 50 yards. At 25 and 75 yards you aim 2" low and aim higher at distances greater than 100 yards.
@venturabushcraft5916 ok thank you I pretty much new that but I have the HW97KT in 22 cal. and I know they can do it with holdover and holdunder but it's not really gonna be consistent with shooting lower power like low 700s and also with wind left and right and I know they have apps and Kestrols and all that stuff but in my opinion why even try to push a springer out to a 100 yards and more, if you want to shoot them greater distances then get yourself a 25 or 30 cal. PCP. You can understand where I'm coming from can't you.
Great rifles the 35s, l like them having the same diameter cylinder n piston as the 80, but both shorter than the 80s, l think this makes them more accurate, I've had loads of Weihrauch's over the last 20 years and the 35s are so accurate, l think they shoot better in 22 at around 14ft/lb.
Those Weirauch take some beating...the Theoben Sirocco was about the best as far as single shot go...but the price back in the 80's were really expensive. The good thing about the Theoben was that you could cock the barrel and leave it cooked and it never lost any power...Great for climbing through barbed wire fences. I use the Stoeger A30 polycarbonate
I'd advise you to get in the habit of holding the end of the barrel with your right hand while you load the pellet. If the barrel flies back under spring pressure it will certainly be bent, and probably split the stock through the pistol grip.
Only time this can happen is when someone has adjusted the trigger to light using the torx screw, but it's always best keeping hold of the barrel anyway so as to close.
i have a few , but springers only 2 but best one i have in springers that is the BSA lighting i dead head flowers at 30 yards and awesome for small game but same as most shots they drop so as long as you can kill with one shot only as one shot is all is needed for small game as long as your laying snares out too then enjoy , you most have loads rabbits around them woods and tree rats and birds ?
I've got a 35 had it from the 80s But recently found that my grandson has got a gunsmith to cutt the barrel for a silencer SO AM LOOKING FOR A BARREL IF I CAN GET ONE
@@N.i.l IS THAT FOR A 35 BECAUSE THAT MODEL HAS A THUMB DECOCKING DEVICE WITH A BALL BEARING JUST UNDER THE BARREL SEAL THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT ONE OF THE BEST THEY MADE
Thanks for the video. What kind of game are you going for? Like to see a clean and cook... You could just keep a few rabbits and chickens...rabbits are easy to feed if you have fresh grass. Or hay. Garden veg. and water
I only have Weihrauch guns, obviously for a good reason. haha I suspend my soda cans as well only I make myself a challenge: Shoot the bottom of the can off with as few as possible shots. After the bottom is down, shoot the top off like at 0:20 with one shot. I find this a lot of fun and satisfying. Within plinking it demands very precise shooting.
Best air rifle, that’s subjective really, open to opinion. HW’s 80,95,99 all as good. If you prefer a fixed barrel there’s HWs 77/97 too. Mind you a AATX200 is better I think. For a springer as a hunting survival rifle I prefer a break barrel myself. The 35 like all HW’s gives you a solid well engineered German air rifle. With a wipe over with an oily rag it will last forever and fill ya pot 🐇 🐿️ 👍🏻
My 35 is about 2 yrs old, I've had many spring guns over the last 20 years, my favourite is the 97, then a TX HC, then for power the 80, my mate has just spent near a grand on a TX Ultimate springer and it's no more accurate, plus Weihrauch's are the best trigger, my 35 is 14ft/lb they shoot better at this power, in 22 that is, l just use FTTs.
I’ve got an original weihrauch 77carbine which I bought in in mid eighties , awsome bit of kit +an air arms 410 carbine gas gun and both are very accurate the air arms is silent and great for game but yo do have to have a tank to fill it, nice to have the choice 👍🙂
0:15 totally irresponsible gun handling. At that point should the top sear in the trigger cassette slip or fracture under the sheer poundage that breech will slam shut in a micro second with your thumb still under it.
Happened to me once with a HW35 as it happens. I was holding the barrel but too loosely and it slipped out of my hand resulting in a deep cut on the thumb from the breech.I was very lucky I didnt lose my thumb altogether.Lesson learned.
@@BushwackerMan doesn’t matter there just the given rules about shooting you never know who’s about think about it one of the first things you’re tort about shooting
Bought a HW 35 when I was 22 years old. Now 74 and still have it. Its had two services and it still shoots as good as new. Will see me out I am sure.
Quality 👍👍
Same here. Dad bought one in the early 70's in Germany for I think a tenner. A huge amount then ! Still got it, and as you say, still all good.

You cant go wrong with a 35,its a simple yet high quality air rifle at a very modest price.
Pull back the breach lock when closing,otherwise you'll score the transfer port face causing a leak on the soft metal seal face!

My 35 is about 2 yrs old, I've had many spring guns over the last 20 years, my favourite is the 97, then a TX HC, then for power the 80, my mate has just spent near a grand on a TX Ultimate springer and it's no more accurate, plus Weihrauch's are the best trigger, my 35 is 14ft/lb they shoot better at this power, in 22 that is, l just use FTTs.
Sprung you mean spring
Another Freeby, another advert for a Freeby!
I bought this rifle 👍👍
We would probably be beaten by the PCP guys every time but we'd give them a run for their money!!

I’ve got an original weihrauch 77carbine which I bought in in mid eighties , awsome bit of kit +an air arms 410 carbine gas gun and both are very accurate the air arms is silent and great for game but yo do have to have a tank to fill it, nice to have the choice 👍🙂

One day 👍👍
Outshot a hw35 and a 77k with my bsa mercury challenger.
Only as good as the operator 👍👍
Flattering, but by god I shot that air rifle 1000s upon 1000s of times.
Then there’s either something wrong with the Weihrauchs or you are using the wrong pellets because a 77 accuracy is second to none.
0:15 totally irresponsible gun handling. At that point should the top sear in the trigger cassette slip or fracture under the sheer poundage that breech will slam shut in a micro second with your thumb still under it.
Happened to me once with a HW35 as it happens.
I was holding the barrel but too loosely and it slipped out of my hand resulting in a deep cut on the thumb from the breech.I was very lucky I didnt lose my thumb altogether.Lesson learned.
Worst air rifle of the entire Weihrauch range. Heavy, awkward, under-powered with a latch that won't return the barrel to zero with a scope.
You dont like 👍👍
@@BushwackerManHave you tried FTTs and RWS Superfield mine like them, mines 2 yrs old,
