Where I prefer the 75, is how it physically blocks the firing-pin. The 85 only blocks(or disengages??) the sear from memory? I'm a sucker for firing-pin blocks. I just prefer em if I can....... wink
This is where my X-Bolt shines whilst stalking the steep knarly stuff with my son, as falls do! & will! happen......& the way I stalk, there must be a round ready otherwise you need not bother 9 out of 10 times........
My Blasers excelled here, as did my Model 70's, Ruger HE & our current equestrians; Kimber 84L & X-Bolt. But as you have stated. Each to their own.....& different animals, conditions & other factors require certain specialties.......
