So go try as many of the different configuration as you can and see which suits you best.

I've been finding my 97 synthetic a little front heavy. Would a spotter/ laminate bring the weight more to the shoulder? If so, where to buy one?

Yes, I've tried the STD sporter, thought it was fine, tried the thumbhole in wood, found the cheek higher but the pistol grip too fat so I preferred the sporter.. never tried the laminated stock ones though... So I'm just trying to get some info on the differences from you lot of anorak 97 owner'sOriginally Posted by TonyL

You can usually have the cheekpiece altered to suit.

This is a HW100, not a 97.

Yes! Rich., I've been trying to find the time + cash at the time to visit you! Looks like I will have a stack of stocks that will need altering by the time I actually make it! Lol..

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 equivalentYeah, but the wood HW97 stocks are beech or (even heavier) laminate - therefore both are as heavy as bodies. You confusing man.

Be careful about getting a synthetic stock I have big hands and it was very uncomfortable left red marks on the side of the base of my thumb also very annoying to get to the safety you have to use your left hand .
I got rid of mine but I have met lots of other people with a similar view.
Might be alright if you have small hands and could remove the safety . if it was the wood version I would have carved out the annoying thumb groove.
But I got first a spotter stock, better, then a cs700 much better.
Just seems like a lot of effort to try and make a 97 as goods as as txhc the stocks on those are good from the start. And that's before you even start on the internals.
