porkybella 284 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Heres a pic of my very first springer it started its life out brand new which i bought from solware tamworth for £375 i bought it as a hw97kt stainless model first i sent it off to tony wall at sandwell fieldsports for a stage 1 tune 4 weeks later i picked it up it was firing cocking accuracy was great but still didnt feel good to me. I knew straight away it was the plastic thumbhole stock so i swapped it on here with goz1960 for a hw77 stock straight away accuracy was improved at least 30% it felt much better. Next step was a sling so i opted for the 13.5mm bisley swivels. I fitted them and ordered a custom leather sling off a chap off the bay come to £21 posted the rifle has i forgot to mention a 4-16x50ir mtc viper with sidewheel i just love these scopes. Now theres one thing missing and its on order. An ajustable butt pad then this rifle will be 100 percent perfect. Cheers for reading atb rob 5 Quote Link to post
Miikee-L 72 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Very nice mate! Personally i prefer the look of a wooden stock as well, and that sling is very nice! bet she shoots like a dream now! ATB Mike Quote Link to post

A1WOC 212 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Very nice setup, the stainless looks great in a timber stock and the custom sling finishes it off. Regards, Steve. Quote Link to post

thursodog 353 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Beautiful. I cant see past these the now. I must admit I like my plastic kt stock and the guns deadly accurate. Quote Link to post
AR177 588 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Think we need a 'show us your 97' thread! like I said before very nice! 2 Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 i prefer the wood thumbhole stock best, follow by the wood sporter 97 stock then lastly the synthetic. if my wood sporter had adj. buttpad i might like that better.. think my next gun will be a 77k - laminate summer forest Quote Link to post
goz1960 52 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Looks stunning now credit to you. 1 Quote Link to post
dhand62362 13 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Just out of interest what do you think was causing the -30% accuracy with the synthetic stock, I would of thought the thumbhole and adjustable butt plate would have been more accurate ? Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 The synthetic doesnt have adjustable butt as standard.. And some people get on better with a sporter stock rather than a thumbhole.. im guessing porkybella fits that group of people. Im quite the opposite- i prefer a thumbhole Each to their own i suppose.. whichever is most comfortable for the individual will be the one they shoot best Im sure porkybella will correct me if im wrong tho Quote Link to post
