I just came across more info on the Steve Corcoran wood stock for the Evol on Dana's (MountainSport Airguns) EBR video if anyone hasn't watched it yet. Looking good Steve and Tom!
You can watch the whole video or skip to 16m:39s for the stock and collaboration with Steve Corcoran.

Wow! Wow! Wow! It too beautifully made.
I am already conflicted. I don’t know if I could succeed at convincing myself to carry it out into the field for hunting. This I would keep locked up in my gallery, right where I like to enjoy my coffee.
Is there any info on pricing yet?

Tom, I know whatever stock is on one of actions it will be designed for hunting as well, but that wood stock l would be afraid to ever take it out of the safe but to admire it!
Maybe a Benchrest version as well?

Tom,
Just thinking ahead. I have an Evol 30 Tac and I'm also looking at getting the HPS 22 with the new stock. Will the new stock be interchangeable between the two? I know the safety is in a different location with the new wood stock. If I wanted to put the wood stock on my Evol Tac 30, would I just remove the lower and swap trigger groups or is there more to it that's involved?

AAA (Tom) mentioned that he had several different types of EVOLs there for people to check out. I was under the impression that they were only "concept" guns that are maybe or maybe not going into production in the future. It seemed like the wood one was only made for EBR. It ended up being actioned off at the end of the EBR and sold for over $4,000.

There are some differences that need to be addressed. 1) The burst disk has been relocated from the side to the bottom of the receiver. This negates the need to carve a relief on the right side of the inletting. To use an older receiver this area will have to whittled out for clearance. 2) The trigger package has two differences, a set back trigger and a different safety lever.
So yes it is possible but not sure it will make economic sense.

We had a few guns to demo. A standard 22 with a 15" barrel and Magpul PRS (this is the gun I shot in the Extreme), a 22 Mini wich was lent as a replacement to Matt Hodges son so he could compete, and a 30 caliber Mini (I shot this one for AFT).
We have built the 30 cal. Mini before and received a lukewarm reception, but I really enjoy this combination so I built another. There are more refinements needed before it is offered again. Specs are 10" barrel, 63 fpe. with 44 gn, and 18 shots (two mags) with a 4k fill. Goals are to get a few more fpe and less cocking effort.

Walnut can vary quite a bit in density. I believe that stock was 2.3 lbs which may be on the heavy side according to Steve Corcoran. Over all weight is ~6.3 lbs

I guess that I didn't realize how much was changed. Thanks for your openness. In regards to the overall weight, is that 6.3 lbs with an 18" .30cal barrel? If it is, that's not bad at all.

Claudio and I were laughing because somehow I knew he would end up with it. Lol
Its definitely an elegant looking rifle, Tom and Steve did a phenomenal job.

All I can say is, just beautiful. Waiting on some sneak peeks of a benchrest version as well.
