However, now I've got the WTC 1.5-5x20 on it with some light 2 piece mounts (thanks Airgun Centre) and a walnut cs700 thumbhole stock from Look No Hands, - AY CARUMBA BABY she's the cat's pyjamas at 4.25kg or thereabouts..
The shooting balance has improved markedly with the little scope, the thumbhole is a lot comfier to hold and makes for better grip consistency.
With the butt resting on my right hip and the gun almost vertical while trading insults in between shots, and the whole handling of the Propsort during the reload cycle is a lot more pleasant for some reason. I have a secret love of seeing half the shrouded barrel down the scope when it's on 1.5x...
Prosport - tuned out of the box - highly recommended. I agree that a sling might be a good idea although I'm loathed to mark the stock in any way with swivels. I'm probably being daft here but is there any other way?
I know this thead hasn't been active for ages but if you're still looking for a sling this could be helpful.
