What is it about the 80?

[C.V]

That brings back bad childhood history. My mum ran away with the milkman on his milk float. Watching them go down the road for two hours was my worse childhood memory.

This made me laugh!!

Must go and do some work ! HW80 to me too much of a gun in 12ft/lbs. Makes a HW35 seem slim. However, no doubt a true class act and a classic.

I had an early Venom tuned one in .177 the first springer i could hit a barn door with. At one time I had a std 95 bought new when Venom was in Halesowen up the top of Mucklow Hill, I added a s/h 77 in .22 then the s/h Venom 80, previous to that it was old Meteors & then Webley Vulcans. I went like many over to pcp & never looked back but over time I salvaged enough cheap 80 spares to make a full rifle up & dropped in a venom kit. I can't honestly answer why I have it or why I like it, I never use it but one day when I retire next year I'll re discover the joys of the 80 & I'll let you know if I can find this post
