John's 80 came about when he went on a shoot with Dave and Ivan and liked Ivan's gun that much he had the same mod's done to his own 80. Not sure why John went for the super moon lighter as his scope? But each to their own. Mach 1.5
I'd have to dig the old magazines out to remind myself what it was like. So, was it a Vantage stock, or the Hunter, or, more likely, something totally different?

And, although I had HWs back then with Venom tunes, JD's writings and Terry's test on the Lazaglide 80 spurred me on to getting the Predator Lazaglided.
