Standard UK stock.....I think I prefer the Mk I. (I have Mk I and II).
Shame we never got the R1 over here; love that stock.
Custom wise, Venom Varminter for me, too.
I think I've seen 80s with 77 stocks grafted on? Nice.

It’s always annoyed me that HC never brought in the R1 option .
There are a few around apart from self imports MAG had a batch in the early eighties.
Even better looking than a HW35
One of my pet hates is the stock not covering the breech block, the R1 stock and the HW85 deluxe stock I like very much as they have the classic lines, the modern HW stocks are too angular.
Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
Always late to the party !
Must agree Pete, I think the older cut off stocks showing the breech just look really old fashioned although the latest HW80 stock hasn’t quite grown on me yet either.

That R1 type stock would be my preference as well.

The early stocks just looks unfinished to me, like they couldn't be bothered anymore and just cut it short, a "that'll do" sort of attitude, I know it's not but that's how my mind sees it.

Owns three Roy orbison albums
The latest 80 stock is a strange looker, but it doesn't handle badly, for a heavy rifle.

Maybe a fashion statement back in the 80s..Weihrauch weren't the only ones not covering the breech block.
BSA, BSF, Original, Feinwerkbau, Webley etc. Mach 1.5

I would like a stock like this

How do you feel about the half-covered PE stock I think that I would have preferred it fully covered although it might be less robust
Even better looking than a HW35
Not good, and the barrel shroud not touching the breech block is another no noHow do you feel about the half-covered PE stock I think that I would have preferred it fully covered although it might be less robust
