    The BSA and I agree it does not look as streamlined with a scope fitted. Unfortunately the rearsight sits too close to the eye for me to see it comfortably, which is why I have never acquired one of these fine looking rifles.

    The Centenary isn't a Stutzen. It's a three-quarter stock.

    But it is included in the pic, (i think), hence it being my choice

    I handled a Heym .243 Stutzen last week.

    Google it and then get a Licence!

    Local RFD if anyone wants it.

    The early Original 50 was a very lovely looking rifle, as is the BSA Centenary. Not sure they can count as pure stutzens though. Right proportions and nice and slim like a sporting rifle should be.
    To me its in the grain of the wood and I've yet to see an air rifle get the quality to bring them to the top.
    Bar the two I've mentioned the rest doesn't do it for me.

    That’s a Luckasz Parsley stutzen stock. Collaboration between him and BAR.
    Personlly I think the void for the underlever is horrible - best looker is the Spartan.
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    I agree the Spartan is the best looker but it's a PCP, the BSA doesn't have the void in the stock and the Diana is also easily modified to a consealed underlever and would be a looker with a Spartan type stock

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    The example you show, Murph

    is not strictly a Stutzen, in words' historical meaning anyway.

    To me a Stutzen Rifle stock should enclose at least 95% of the barrel length (yes, you have that covered ),

    but the stocks' derivation (historical) is that the barrel sits within the stock (ie: seated = depth) - standing proud negates the whole point of Stutzen in my view.

    The ISP Spartan Stutzen is a stunner.
