I've also got a luxus-stocked HW85K in .22. It's really nice but it's .22! Yeuch!
The solution is surely to lighten and shorten the HW80, with careful use of a file and hack saw, and squeeze the HW85 barrel down to .177 with the use of a strong vice.

In fact, the HW80 could be made lighter by removing the butt pad, drilling holes in the woodwork and filling these with helium or other "lighter than air" gas.
