Why is the HW95 so bouncy??

Cheers Drew, I will do a side by side comparison with the two and see what noticable differences there are.

Excellent. That would be very interesting indeed.

I've been so intrigued by this thread that I dusted off an old early .177 HW85L to put some shot through it to acquaint myself with its characteristics. Unfortunately through having a lot going on at the moment and with poor weather all I've been able to do is shoot the gun into a lead billet indoors.
To be fair the gun seems well mannered. But clearly I would need to chrono it and also try n put some groups together to see how easy (or not) that is to achieve.
I would also like to run it alongside a 34 here to discern any differences. I will say the 85 will have to go some to match the 34 and 38 I have.
In meantime I look forward to your further input maximus
