    Got a very nice 95 stock on my old school 85. Still don't like the rifle though.

    As Rustybuzz said, it handles like a set of ladders. Something about the length of the cylinder. Way prefer my 77k.

    Yep haha I do agree there it is a bit on the long side and mines a carbine.

    Must be the balance as well, as I get on fine with the HW80 and the HW35 Export with the 22" barrel....

    Ha ha .. that's so funny, everyone finds it hideous now, but it was the most lusted-after rifle for many people for a long time! Like the ProSport for us lot in the 1970s. I'd swap my HW85 for a nice .177 Export with the 22" barrel... Maybe you SHOULD try one with your eyes closed, nice slender pistol grip, nice fat fore-end, easy barrel-latch coming to hand ...
