HW100 Sporter .22 stock vs HW100 .22 Thumbhole stock

[Gilberca]

Looking for opinions on the HW100 Sporter Stock vs Thumbhole Stock version.
Pluses and Minuses for either?
My current arsenal has the more traditional stocked airguns and I have been intrigued about whether a thumbhole stock offers any benefits for shooting accuracy over the standard stock.
I'll be purchasing one of these in the near future and am seeking guidance.

It's rare to see the thumholes. But the ones I've read about; people LOVE them.
I'd like to try/have one

I have of each in the HW100 series, both in Walnut, one in .177 and one in .22z. Can’t really say one is easier to shoot than another but the thumb hole stock is the one every else notices.

The HW100 is a well built gun a bit on the heavy side. I have a.22 walnut sporter and a laminated thumbhole.177. Adding titanium air cylinders helps cut the weight to a perfectly manageable level, but the laminate is heavier. I'd love to trade my laminate TH stock for either of the walnut versions if I had the chance. The sporters are far more comfortable to me.

I have a HW100 with a walnut thumb hole stock. It is one of the most comfortable stocks I have ever handled. I have big hands and it fits perfect. Every time I think of selling the gun I pick it up and ask myself if I am making a mistake that is how much I like it.

Thanks all who responded to my inquiry. Based on further research and your feedback, I've placed an order for the HW100 Thumbhole Stock full size in .22 from AOA.
Hoping to see it delivered next week.
