Fixed all the places where my spell check "helped" me misspell Gary's last name.
These are pictures of the Steyr Hunter Scout stock Gary Cane built for me. I just received it this week. The comb is adjustable with an Allen screw (I didn't want a knob. The trigger guard is metal.
For those who might be interested in the weight of this stock vs. the original walnut from Steyr I weighed the rifle with the walnut stock and this stock. The difference is .26 (4.16 ounces) of a pound. I weighed the rifle with a set of Sportsmatch Rings, SWFA 10x42 Tactical scope (1.31 pounds), Donny FL LDC. The rifle with walnut scope was 9.42 pounds. With the laminate GaryCrane it is 9.68. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't want the stock to be much heavier than the original walnut.
I love the thumb hole and contoured "pistol" grip. The only thing I don't "love", and is the same with other PCPs I've owned, the fore end sling swivel post has to be placed so far from the end to get into thick enough wood that the gun wants to tilt back more than I like when slung over the shoulder. Of course someone on this site suggested I sling it upside down. That will work. If I had to do it over I'd probably leave the fore end swivel post off and go with the air tube clamp made for my FX Wildcat. It does add a little weight but is really a slick way to do it.
I got the idea about this stock from folks on here like Michael and Eric. I ordered in February and received it in July. It took about 3-4 weeks for delivery because of the way UK has to ship to the US. It had to go to AoA before it came to me.
Famous last words I know, but this rifle and its companion LP 50 HP Compact (Pistol) which I also own, satisfies my appetite for new air rifles. Unless this became available in .25 (my rifle is .22 and the LP is .177) I can't see myself buying another. Squirrel season opens here in KY the 3rd Saturday in August. I plan on on guarding a shagbark hickory grove that morning with my grandson.
I'll add pictures of the full rifle soon.
