My 80 , long stroked & sleeved to 23 mm , bespoke steel piston, hw 97 spring, my own shroud and barrel weight, Warren Edwards Tyrolean stock with adjustable comb so I can use a scope.🙂

Venom Mach 1 in .177 cal. In 44 years of shooting all the tuned rifles out there. Nothing beats my friends .177 Mach 1. My webley venom 80 comes a second place to this wonder gun. The Mach 1 is nearly perfect but...it's heavy, very rare and expensive now. Mach 1.5
If you like a heavy gun an HW80 with a light scope on
If you prefer a medium weight HW95 with heavy scope and mod on
A well sorted Diana 31/34 EMS is a medium option
All the older stuff risks spares problems now, same re parts for anything 'Walther'. There is a reason HW models stay in production and dominate.
I find in general a 95 shoots a bit nicer, I find that an 80 without signifiant farting about shoots better in 177 / 20 as it's about the right amount of spring (bit sluggish in 22) whereas the 95 is a tad nicer in 22.
My fave is a 95 in 20 cal, with something like a Sirocco to PH weight mod, once piece mount usually, 4-12 / 4-16 50 mm if later higher comb stock, or 3-9 40mm with lower comb earlier stocks
V Mach type set up (stiff sports spring)
Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34
Thanks for all the kind comments, the gun was a project inspired by having a shot with jb's 24 mm 80 👍
