    Walnut stock

    Hi peeps, I'm having my 80 worked on by v-mach, I'm obviously going to need a nice stock made, I could go for a cs500, I do like the cs stocks, but I don't want to sit down at a shoot next to someone with the same wood, I don't want anything fancy, just a sporter stock with a nice grain of wood, like the old Venoms had. So could you guys give me some links to makers, or has someone got one for sale, I would very much apreciate some input, as I've not been shooting for many years and have lost touch with the who's and where's to get stuff done, atb Daz

    Custom wood

    Hi joined here to look for similar myself - the name Steve B springs to mind from up north . Not sure if he is still doing stocks but heard great things about him.

    Funnily enough been looking myself recently. The cs500 is ok but gets a bit thick in front of the trigger and the cheek piece looks a bit high. Other than that it's thumb hole stocks which I really don't like.

    Something like an early venom stock would be great. Think we could convince CS to do a batch?

    Well I wouldn't mind another like this, preferably darker - perhaps in HW95 flavour as well:

    Money no object: Gary Cane. Clanchief on here has a superb GC stocked 80.

    I'm not sure I could justify the price of a Gary cane although I'm sure they are good value for what they are. I'm just surprised there isn't a more mass market refined stock for the hw range other than the cs 500. Bang out something similar to the venom one and I'm sure it would be the most popular stock for any hw owner.

    It's a nice idea and I would be with you all the way, but I think we would need more than 2 of us mate

    I think Clanchief has got it spot on, his GC stock is lovely

    That is PROPER air gun porn. Who made it? ... After seeing that, I've half a mind to remove my spare Webley Omega from sale, sell something else instead (maybe some of my Harley spares), and have it similarly timber dressed and kept for best?

    Well I've just sent them a message asking if it's even possible to do a run so let's wait and see.

    Brockock had the best walnut stock for me. Oh galleons came the same. no Brockock.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.

    I have used a number of stocks on my HW80. Currently my FAC .22 has a CS500-simple uncluttered lines perfect for 'sporting' use. My 2 legal limit 80's have CS700 and my favourite CS800. I recently acquired a lovely CS500 for my HW95 which suits it perfectly.
    In terms of price the CS stocks are very reasonable whereas the more exotic examples-Gary Cane to name but one-cost a lot of money. The original Venom stocks are lovely but hard to find. Th modern CS ones are perhaps not as nice but provided you get one with the rosewood cap and properly fitting butt pad you won't be disappointed.
