Bill, I've always preferred flat spring actions. And I greatly prefer scalloped or "thin side" highwalls. I also prefer scalloped lowwalls for appearances sake and better balance. But scalloped low walls are not "thin" of course. I'm not alone in that, though both types are common on the line. My best '85s use both flat and coil.

I can't think of why the last ones would be better than any of the others.

My current 85s are .45-70, 40-65, 38-72, and .22 rf (lowwall)
