Fitting an adjustable butt pad to a HW97KT

[zini 1,939]

Hi lads,

 

This is a great little clip that Davy filmed today of how he fitted a adjustable butt pad to his HW97KT.

 

I think that you will agree that his rifle looks much better, and i believe he will shoot it better now it is more customized to his body.

 

10 out of 10 for this Davy and I'm sure more will want to try this after watching this episode of VerminHuntersTV.

thanks Si

when ever i need to do any work on my kit,i like to film it,as i know it may be useful to some one along the line?

 

going to be doing a sling and studs next,once the barrle clamps turn up!

Great idea partner .

 

All you need then is it stage 2 tuning and you will have a dream rifle and setup.

 

Are we still taking it to Tony in Feb to get it stage 2 tuned?

 

You know it makes sense .

This is great Davy. I'm considering fitting these Bisley pads to my HW80 and possibly my HW77 if they will fit the butt dimensions.

 

Best wishes with shooting it mate.

Simon.

 

PS. Helen sends her love too!

Nice work Davy, fitted one on my 97k a year ago used a hand file and wire wool for a nice polished finish.

Davy mate this is a real cracking idea for a video. You explained all the proceedure very well, i think you have opened the flood-gates for future projects (video about stock making), may be a factory tour?

very good video video going to try fit on on my hw100kt once i find out if the old butt pad is glued or screwed on as cant see the screws and dont want to damage anything trying to get it off

Hi

The screws are accessible on the 100 but the holes are not clear. Have a closer look you will see them and just push a small screw driver in. The rubber has a Memory just like plastic so it swells back to hide the entry holes for the screwdriver but they are there

 

Also the white band on the pad can be used as a template!

 

God luck

hi Skot

it is good to get away from it all and just chill,i have a few more things to add in there yet!

this is a small mane cave compared to chaz & roger crooks, "oh! i could,only dream of having"

hi Davyt63, great vid again ,however why you have done this? is it just for looks(doubt it) or is it to alter the LOP(length of pull) of the rifle? if it is to alter the lop is there a need to alter eye relief(move sights back) just wondering the reason you have done this. By the way I have done this to my HW97KTS a few weeks back, reason being although I am a short ass(5foot 6.5, the half inch always matter) I needed to alter the LOP to get comfortable for shooting and I must admit it has started to bring my groupings down to a reasonable size

I've had the rare privilege to have been in Davy's man cave and it's a lovely man cave . Just fits one Davy sized man comfortably in place with his work bench and all he needs to hand and the outside world can wait at the door...including me as I'm too tall to fit under the roof!

 

We all should have one. It's lovely in there..almost .

hi prubs

as i am 2 inches taller than you that 2 inches matters

 

seriously!!

 

its for hold and comfort really plus it looks good too

if i need to adjust my scope for eye relief then i shall,i have had no issues with grouping with this rifle,so lets hope all goes well
