    HW80, venom tuned and ingraved.

    I would love a rifle as well tuned as that one. Plus the stock is perfect. Does anyone know which stock it is?

    There isn't anything more to know mate. It's a Venom HW80 Hunter.
    Same Venom Hunter stock as the 95 wears in the BAR pic, Venom lazaglide tune, Venom Executive moderator, Venom Reblue, etc.
    Engraving will have been done by Don and then whatever scope you fit is your choice ( rifles like that deserve some very nice optics clamped to them though ).

    Then it stands a chance of being a Venom Vantage stock, or one of the CS series from Custom Stock of Sheffield.

    You'd better buy one after making me think so much!

    no mate not the vantage , mine had the vantage stock , and that was called the lazahunter version .
    it may be a sheffield stock , just not seen one like that with the flat palm rest.
    one thing i do know is that i wish i'd never sold mine ( it was a beaut ) and i had heard that they may not make any more , since Ivan had left . ....

    I know what you mean mate, over the years I've sold a Venom Varminter 77, Hunter 80 + 95 and a Trophy 77 - all for ridiculously cheap amounts . Wish I'd kept hold of all of them - even though I'm not really into airguns anymore, they're very nice rifles.
    Thinking more about the stock - there's a Webley Exocet Custom knocking around here that I very nearly brought, it's got a Gary Cane sporter stock on it which, as far I can remember, looks identical ( palm rest on the belly etc ).
    You might have to wait a while if you order one from him though...

    Looks like a sporting supplies HW80 custom from a few years ago. Had a webley vulcan custom that i bought at the midland game fair, had the same stock (Gary cane, as mentioned) I think blueing was done by Shaun Hill.
