Thats from a FWB Sports fan.
I like the stock on the 045. Perhaps the little amount of contact contact with the jaw when on aim allows the rifle to recoil in a more uninhibited manner? Like an HW77. Cannot agree the 045 has a better trigger than an FWB Sport, they are both carp.. The 045 has a defined "hang up" between stages. The HW 80 beats both.
