    97 stocks...

    Red laminate, blue laminate, beach, plastic, thumbhole or sporter???
    I've been looking at pictures of the 97k stocks (on the sgc website) wondering if there are any differences in shape/cheek piece hight?
    From my looking it seems the 'th' has the highest cheek riser, then the STD sporter & blue laminate, then the red laminate has the lowest.... (I think the red laminate is actually the forest 77 stock?)
    I'd like your thoughts & experience on these stocks please, I'm thinking I might order a .20 black line or .20 beech sporter but I can't get those lush looking laminate stocks out of my head, especially the red laminate., In which case I'd be going for a .177 which isn't really what I want, and i recon I'd struggle with the cheek piece being too low.....
    Anyway let's have your thoughts please on the stocks mentioned, what are the differences noticeable in use? What are the finishes like?
    Thanks all
    Rhys

    What about a CS stock? That's what your Evo has, it'll be like putting on an old glove.

    We bought an HW00k with the fister stock, I put the stock on the bay and got £150 for it, that is a big chunk toward a decent one.

    My favourite is the blue because it IS a 97k stock just laminated.

    get a room you two lol

    the synthetic stock on the blackline is nice. i bought a secondhand one for my 97 a little while back to help keep the weight down. though i have read that keen enthusiasts like to fill the void in the butt (no pun intended!) with resin to absorb the recoil/ resonance, but i think it is fine as it is personally...

    The synthetic stock is heavier than its wood equivalent

    No. Someone told me that a few years back and I didn't believe them, so when I got home I weighed them both. It's not much, but walnut is lighter. Beech is cheaper, but it's just so low rent.
