I do have a newer version of the 95 but haven't used it extensively as yet. I have one of the very earliest versions in .177 which I love to bits and which is one of my most favourite rifles. I cannot imagine any reason why the later ones should be any less enjoyable or effective. I find them accurate and easy to use and would say to go right ahead. After a period of usage and getting to know the rifle inside-out, be led by your experiences and wants as to which tuning route (if any) to take. Take the time to get to know how this excellent springer wants to be handled and you will be rewarded by reliable and enjoyable long service.
