    Graceful stocks.

    Hi all,

    I've always wanted to have a beautiful walnut stock made for one of my BSA Mercury's (or Airsporter), now obviously as the Mercury is a graceful looking rifle I'd say it deserves a graceful looking stock but what sort of flowing lines should it have, so come on lets see some graceful stocks that you think would compliment the Mercs beautiful frame, please no photo's of HW35 stocks or you'll get put on my ignore list

    I was thinking along the lines of the RWS Excalibre or the BSA Monarch rifles.

    Pete

    Surely,the Challenger stock copied in Walnut would be the perfect stock for a Mercury.

    I think the Mercury S stock is perfect, I cant think how it could be improved on.

    Yes, to me BSA got it spot on with the curving rear block following the lines of the pistol grip, it just looks right

    You could sell me one of your Challengers - that would kind of lessen the quandary

    All of the above.

    The short answer is - NO.

    It looks even nicer from the other side and I dont want to sell that side either.

    Now we're talking, the back end looks beautiful, the front end needs work

    Very true it is almost perfect but it just lacks that Joie de vivre

    Basically it needs to have a higher cheek piece and better checkering.
