The HW85 has a bit longer barrel. The 85 serves better with iron sights giving more span between front and rear. The 95 serves better with a scope given the shorter barrel has less shot time and pellet drag. I do not know why they decided to use the Luxus stock on the 85 because the comb is so high that the fixed sights are difficult to use comfortably. The Luxus stock is designed for scope use (at least for my head shape) while the Traditional stock (more comb drop) is better for iron.
