I find it really interesting your view on the model 80. I've only looked at mine twice and never fired it. But my impressions are that of a very well made rifle, with a little different stock designed as a target rifle. Its certainly much bigger than the 55 and 70 models. I really like it, as in my eyes it looks and feels like a quality rifle. I think it would be a bland air rifle world if the 80 and models like it weren't around. Im chuffed to bits to have it. I wonder who else does.
