![[Linked Image]](http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj613/Horseman751/photo1_zps5c43336d.jpg) Here's one of the "newer, bland, androgynous design" 85 Classics. Don't see what all the dislike is about.

That's a "Classic", exactly like the "old" Classic design of the Stoeger era. Seen a 75 or Quad lately, makes me wanna puke. Thanks alot Beretta. ![[Linked Image]](http://images.gunstar.co.uk/Gun-Images/Sako-75-Action-3-Varmint-Laminate-Stainless-heavy-barrel-A50530.jpg) Yuck! Scott

i bet yours hold more rounds than my 6ppc. an advantage when you call in 4 or 5 coyote on a stand. the trigger is adjustable and awesome. balance. feel. nice

I'll see your Beretta 85 Classic and raise you two Stoeger AV Classics! ![[Linked Image]](http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z156/fiberclass/DSCF1901.jpg) Scott

Nice Classics woodshed. I guess I'm weird. I have some older Sako's and like them all. I don't think the newer guns are lacking, especially the quality of the wood. A lot of the older ones are plain/blonde and that's not my thing. The older classics like you have there are beautys.

I just got really turned off with the 75's and Quads, didn't compare to my Finnfire's and AI series rifles. I have not owned an 85 yet but yours looks exceptional. Different strokes for different folks. I'd take any of the above over a new Remington/Winchester/Ruger.
