Looks to be coming back in stock soon. I must be getting old, I can't get my head around most of the new HW stocks. Almost cried when I saw the new HW77 LOL for me to buy that rifle from PA I would get hit with another $24 in tax

My older brother and I got together after a fews years of not seeing each other in person, and we shot some of my air rifles the other day. We all know how nice just about any HW shoots, and my brother is looking at the HW85 or 95, and since I do not own either, I'm asking what any of you can tell about the differences between the two.We're talking about the newest model 85 and 95. He's the best brother in the world, so please help me out here. Dennis
I ordered a couple of these from Krale when the goin was good and they were around $285 tyd. Hard to pass up?Jason G
stinger, I don't know how jason does it but I take a tight fitting drill bit, place/push it inside and turn it by hand, then some 320-600 grit sandpaper, I polish it with a bore mop and some rouge (i think thats how its spelled), polish spring ends, remove any burrs on detent, polish detent, lube w/moly and reinsert

Dennis Hey Dennis,I know you've gotten a lot of good tips so far ... 1) I wouldn't get the HW85 - I can think of no advantage - maybe opened sighted w/peep.2) The HW 95 can be had for $350 including 3 day shipping from Krale.3) The HW95 Lexus can be had for $400 from AOA - free shipping & no tax unless you live in AZ.I would likely pay an extra $50 for the nicer stock. The HW95 regular stock is adequate at best.

I have a HW 85 in .177 (newer model) and it is stelling. It is dedicated irons and my only open sight break barrel. The longer sight radius is a benefit to me over the shorter HW 95. If a scope is all one intended to use then I would choose a 95K. Mine is packing the Hornet spring and moly vac piston seal. A real good shooter.I may as well add, this rifle with the longer barrel cocks like a 12 fpe rifle. And this one is shooting upper 800's. This may rabble the natives here, but I prefer this over the FWB 124's, and I like to think of it as the 124 in the HW lineup. Plus you get all the benifits of a many aftermarket kits and such with the service ability of this platform.All my HW swing barrels, I pull the detent, polish the bore, spring ends and detent. And the click shut like vault.Jason G
A real advantage of the longer barrel is easier cocking. Longer fulcrum and all that....... + not everybody has a HW 85.-Y

Because now I want a 85 too lolJay buddy, If you are going to scope it get the 95 they're already easily cocked by any man. To put this in perspective Hw95s feel like half the cocking effort of your RX set to 19fpe. Numerically its not but it definitely feels like it. The longer barrel will make it a little easier to cock but it will likely be more hold sensitive and harder to be accurate with. The longer barrel will provide a longer sight radius if using factory open sights, which is good. However put a set of Williams peep sights on a Hw95 and you'll have an even longer sight radius. There's the subject of balance which I can't speak to because I don't have Hw85 to compare to my Hw95. I have a preference for shorter barrels on all air rifles and most PBs because I find they are just easier to shoot accurately and maneuver. Compared to your rx2 a 95 is a compact lightweight.
