    Lovely rifle except I must confess to preferring a solid black finish rather than nickel. Yours must reflect the sun for miles. That stock is seriously nice and the standard of finish very high indeed.

    Stunning rifle, mate. Absolutely stunning.
    If I were to buy another spring rifle, it would be an '80.
    Which model of stock is that?

    Cheers, Craig

    Fantastic looking stock. What finish is on the barrel and Cylinder - has it been bead blasted?

    That is a fantastic finish on the metalwork, I really prefer that to blueing.

    Thanks everyone for the nice responses.

    For those who asked, the .22 HW80 was purchased from a Canadian dealer and comes factory with the flat nickel finish as an option. The gun is shooting butter smooth at around ~20ft/lbs with the V-mach kit. All the custom parts, i.e. Titanium muzzle break, bead blasted stainless steel trigger, guard, safety button, and all matching screws were made by a local machinist named Mr. Einck. Stock was provided by M. Abernethy here in the states and was purchased as a DIY which I finished and then sent back for stipple job. My next purchase will be an HW95 V-mach will all the goodies. Thanks again for looking.

    a work of art really like that stock and the trigger is really unusual on an air rifle
