Customstocks UK seem to be the first port of call for many, but I have seen a stunner from a guy called gordiestocks, hes on the airarms owners site

Hi peeps, I'm having my 80 worked on by v-mach, I'm obviously going to need a nice stock made, I could go for a cs500, I do like the cs stocks, but I don't want to sit down at a shoot next to someone with the same wood, I don't want anything fancy, just a sporter stock with a nice grain of wood, like the old Venoms had. So could you guys give me some links to makers, or has someone got one for sale, I would very much apreciate some input, as I've not been shooting for many years and have lost touch with the who's and where's to get stuff done, atb Daz

Hi joined here to look for similar myself - the name Steve B springs to mind from up north . Not sure if he is still doing stocks but heard great things about him.
Funnily enough been looking myself recently. The cs500 is ok but gets a bit thick in front of the trigger and the cheek piece looks a bit high. Other than that it's thumb hole stocks which I really don't like.
Something like an early venom stock would be great. Think we could convince CS to do a batch?
Money no object: Gary Cane. Clanchief on here has a superb GC stocked 80.
I'm not sure I could justify the price of a Gary cane although I'm sure they are good value for what they are. I'm just surprised there isn't a more mass market refined stock for the hw range other than the cs 500. Bang out something similar to the venom one and I'm sure it would be the most popular stock for any hw owner.
I think Clanchief has got it spot on, his GC stock is lovely

Does anyone from custom stocks frequent the BBS?
Well I've just sent them a message asking if it's even possible to do a run so let's wait and see.
Well if you don't ask, you don't get, good on ya mate
Brockock had the best walnut stock for me. Oh galleons came the same. no Brockock.
the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.
I have used a number of stocks on my HW80. Currently my FAC .22 has a CS500-simple uncluttered lines perfect for 'sporting' use. My 2 legal limit 80's have CS700 and my favourite CS800. I recently acquired a lovely CS500 for my HW95 which suits it perfectly.
In terms of price the CS stocks are very reasonable whereas the more exotic examples-Gary Cane to name but one-cost a lot of money. The original Venom stocks are lovely but hard to find. Th modern CS ones are perhaps not as nice but provided you get one with the rosewood cap and properly fitting butt pad you won't be disappointed.
