    Pro-Sport Stutzen?

    A thread in collectors corner has just set me off on one!
    I know it's not an entirely original idea but how many think that this might be a good idea for a limited production run of PS Stutzens? The PS lends itself perfectly to this configuration as its underlever doesn't latch in the way that most underlever rifles do. AA might even be able to make the undelever a little longer than standard and still be able to hide it in the longer Stutzen forend. This should make it slightly easier to cock that the standard PS which negates one of the few criticisms I've seen levelled at the standard PS. Anyone else think it's a good idea? Pretty please AA.

    Ooh ... talkin' dirty and I like ... ... An Air Arms Pro Sport Stutzen ? Providing they left all that tacky curly Carlos Fandangos scroll etching off in favour of traditional style stock chequering as on my .177 walnut TX200HC (photo below for ref), and still included a rose wood tipped Schnabel end, I'd be in that long cue with you too. Atb: Gareth W-B.

    Edit: Just added two photos of my BSA Rb-2 .177 Stutzen for reference along with the pic of my TX too .

    Could the person that thinks it's a stupid idea please give an explanation? I'm genuinely interested, do you just not like stutzens?

    I think its an absolute great idea.

    I also would like to see that open sights would be mountable and the under-lever would be made from steel.

    The only problem for me would be that I would have to import it myself

    There should be a plain "No, I don't like stutzens".

    Cos I don't.

    But others do, so it's not a stupid idea.

    I like stetzens but NOT a Pro-Sport stutzen ,I think it would up set the balance and make the gun front heavy, so a bad idea, but if you ever get one can I have a go?

    It couldn't just be an extended version of the same old PS stock then. Even if it was though there are ways and means round a balance problem. Anyone got a PS action lying around?

    I like the looks of stutzens, but it'll make the PS (even) more frontheavy I'm afraid.

    You aren't the first to say this but if the stock maker does his stuff well it shouldn't be a problem. If he doesn't the imaginative use of a drill and lead can easily change the balance of a rifle.

    My PS is in one of these at the moment: http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/...81&uid=7499492

    If you take the big lump of wood from underneath and stick a smaller lump on the front end I'd say it'd still balance.

    Never been a fan of the Stutzen,i always thought they look like they should be sent back to the 1940's.A Prosport version? "Your avin a larf aincha"!
