    Lovely rifle except I must confess to preferring a solid black finish rather than nickel. Yours must reflect the sun for miles. That stock is seriously nice and the standard of finish very high indeed.

    Stunning rifle, mate. Absolutely stunning.
    If I were to buy another spring rifle, it would be an '80.
    Which model of stock is that?

    Cheers, Craig

    Thanks everyone for the nice responses.

    For those who asked, the .22 HW80 was purchased from a Canadian dealer and comes factory with the flat nickel finish as an option. The gun is shooting butter smooth at around ~20ft/lbs with the V-mach kit. All the custom parts, i.e. Titanium muzzle break, bead blasted stainless steel trigger, guard, safety button, and all matching screws were made by a local machinist named Mr. Einck. Stock was provided by M. Abernethy here in the states and was purchased as a DIY which I finished and then sent back for stipple job. My next purchase will be an HW95 V-mach will all the goodies. Thanks again for looking.

    That is a very special variation on the '80 one which id assume to be unique right now and also running at a nice comfortable speed which is of course what the '80 was originally designed for. Fantastic achievement, thanks for sharing with us and look forward to seeing pics of your next project the '95. Matt

    Thanks guys!! I got my first HW80 at 17 years old...

    and to me that was like an adult getting a Porsche. All these years later and the HW80 is still one of my all time favorites.
