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.
Yes the fore end very much like the Sport,i think the 85 stock was based on the 80 which I think they copied from the Sport.

If you include the 86 MK1 plain & MK1 with checkered pistol grip as 2 stock types then I've come across 5 stock types for these in its short production run.
