Hw97 aftermarket stocks

[dizzo]

Looking to get a nice wood stock for my hw97. I have the synthetic because thats the only way i could get the nickel. Id like to get a wood one.
For the cost of an oem, i may as well explore some of the nicer options. Looking for suggestions. Ive seen the tac2, which is crazy beautiful and the price reflects it. They also have some at custom stock in the uk. Any others i should look at? In the US would be nice.
Id post in the bst, but im too new

AoA has a couple TAC stocks in stock or so the page says, and they're discounted.

Boyds makes custom stocks.  I think they make some airgun stocks as well.  Prices aren't awful.https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/

I've wanted to get an HW97 and one of those tac 2 stocks but I prefer solid wood honestly.  Plus, those colors on AoA are blah to me.  A red or a blue would be more my lane if I did ever go that route.

I wont be getting a new tac2 stock. Just too expensive. Ill check out boyds. Do oem ones ever come around the bst?

If you want an OEM one you can get them from PA. I best you'd find a few if you posted in the for sale/wanted page here

Got to say nice looking stocks, but high up there that's for sure.

I think AoAs prices on those are way marked up.  I think that is about double the price for what they get them for.

Do you mean "nice wood stock that is not OEM, or OEM?"  OEM-should be $100-150 new.  Much less if you can find a used one.
Nice wood  non-OEM are big $$$.
Boyd's is a great option IF you can inlet the stock.  If you can't, then Custom Stocks in the UK is your cheapest other option.

I did contact boyds. They just flat out said no.
If i could find a used oem for under $100 id be all over it. I would be looking for the kt. Much more than that, and im planing on a custom stocks in the uk. Anyone know what i should expect in shipping to the US?

You can purchase one w/o inlet though:

I don't remember the shipping costs.  It did take 6 weeks.  Plus a few weeks to wait for the upgraded wood to come in, was a slight upcharge.  Make sure to tell them wether you will be shooting with a scope(high comb) or open sights(lower comb).  Can not beat the price.

Some folks will tell you that a thumbhole stock is counter-intuitive for a springer. I prefer classic wood stocks on my rifle. Might be different if I had a use for a tactical firearm.

I don't  so I stick with a solid piece of wood.

Thumbhole stocks on a springer should be shot "thumbs up"!

If you mean without the thumb thru the hole...yep!

I purchased a Tac 2 stock from AoA and was not happy with it.  The finish was rather poor, sharp corners, and does not support a "thumbs up" shooting position that I like.  I wound up re-finishing with Antique Oil and smoothed the corners - it is nicer, but probably not something I am going to use in the long term.

I purchased one from Custom Stocks (CS800) from England a while ago when there were ebay sales.  That is an awesome stock, but also had sharp corners.  I wound up refinishing it as well and it turned out gorgeous.  The walnut is a ton nicer than the laminate.  Plus it has a thumbs up shooting position.  It was about $400 all told with shipping, but makes the Tx200 that it is on an awesome gun.  The shipping prices are posted on ebay and it took about 6-weeks to get here.
