Some of which the 85 seemed to offer. And which may explain my liking for the Webley Omega, Tomahawk, Longbow, BSA Supersport, and some Diana 34 variants.
Basically my airgun archetype is a high quality, accurate, 7-8 pound break barrel 12ft/lbs springer.
If you have not owned an FWB, you need to. They aren't perfect, but they are special.
