My advice is to buy everyone you can afford. It is the finest production rifle made no matter what model.
The recoil lug changed with the 85's.
For a pure hunting rifle nothing beats a 85. They are lighter and mine are slightly more accurate than my 75's. I do prefer the 75 stock though.
All the A series guns I own are also extremely accurate but they are in varmint calibers.

Are you sure about the recoil lug? It seems that I remember seeing a a drawing of a model previous to the 75 which had a pass through bolt that attached the recoil lug to the receiver. L691?
