I like the hw30s with the plain Jane stock just fine. Paying$150 more to change the stock to the better stock, it makes more sense just to buy an r7 to begin with.The hw30s deluxe at AOA is $289.99. is just about $40 more than getting the regular hw30s from Krale shipped at about $250.If I wanted a nicer stock with the rifle, I think it's better to just start by getting one like say the laminated editions from AOA or the R7 or hw30s deluxe version. You end up saving a lot more money in the end.
Thanks Steve,You sure took the fun out of my daydreams about a pretty stock. But I get it. Nice stock work costs money. I have shopped around enough for stocks for various rifles over the years and pretty ain't cheap. I also don't find the stock on my HW30 to be ugly just a bit on the plain side.

I see on the website they are more money. I wanted the stainless from mundilar but they were out of stock, so I didn't want to wait.
Richard,That is an interesting suggestion. I will have to checkout that stock.
Boy howdy, there's nothing like an expertly cut in checkering job on a stock to trick out a rifle! There are gunsmiths all around the country who have the skills and technology to get that done without going overboard. Might cost as much or more than the rifle's original cost, I would reckon. Or a guy could get the tools, and with some practice...I see that there is quite a selection of old gun stocks for practicing on, and tools on Ebay for very reasonable prices. There are also many tutorials on the World Wide Web to help one get 'er done!

To the point where I had to literally remove (sand down) most of the the checkering on the right hand side of the stock.I bought all the checkering tools, files, diff angels of such that I bought from Brownells, but I just don't have the patience, or maybe even the talent to finish it out.If anyone knows of a good "Stocksmith", please let me know. I would really like to have this Bavarian stock back on my HW55.I am truly embarrassed to show this, but this is where I had to leave off. Dennis
