Dave, you're in BIG trouble when BSFNUT reads that

The RWS 45 stock felt much better than the Original, but had the boxy deep fore end that was in vogue in the early 1980s, so I slimmed it down, which made the rifle more comfortable to hold.

Having said which, I had a .20" Original 45, and almost everybody who had a few shots with it went straight out and bought one. I think it was that rifle that I put a tyrolean stock on - now THAT was a top air rifle.
