Well I've taken the plunge and asked my local gunshop to order one in 177 for me. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh!

Several well known retailers are showing them on their Websites now, whether or not they have any in stock is a different matter.
The best photo set I could find showing the walnut stock was a .177 on the Guntrader site !
It’s pretty good if I’m honest !

If all of that is true, that's sounding more promising. Screw locking pivot pin? I hope it's a more substantial affair than the attempt used on the Supersport Custom, Mercury S / Challenger etc. Removable / adjustable transfer port? Intrigued. Could be extremely useful, or might end up being an area to cause confusion for the less experienced? Better trigger? Definitely called for. Let's hope they've got this right. If so, could be a belter.

Yep, I suppose the barrel pivot bolt as used on the Brocock (Gamo design, was it, also used on later Gamo Meteors etc.?) would do the job, Pete. And, yes, you'd hope they haven't reverted back to the port with grub screw. Trigger will be most important. Early days, so I'll keep an open mind. One thing's a given....pointability, wieldability should be great.

The problem is for me, is that I prefer the original classic sporter style stocks, like what's fitted to the Supersport Custom, Superstar, Goldstar and even the earlier HW77, 80 etc (I'm sure the above mentioned models stocks where all made by the same company)
No chunks taken out of the stock.
