I shoot all my one holers that way........(as long as they are one shot groups)

Tom could you tell me what scope mounts you are using. Looks like your scope is nice and low.
Thanks Chuck

Hello Chuck. 

I know they are the Leapers mounts like this: https://www.pyramydair.com/product/leapers-accushot-1-pc-mount-w-1-rings-3-8-dovetail?a=805

I think they are the medium height like the link indicates.  My scopes are Leapers UTG 3x9x32.  If you have a larger objective lens like a 40 or 50mm, you would probably need the "high" version.

They seem to hold up well, and I have been very pleased with them.  I think you can get them for either 1" or 30mm scope tube diameters.  They do not have any compensation for barrel droop, but I have never needed it.

I found this thread last night because I am trying to decide between an HW30S and HW50S. I'm glad to see that the galling issue in the 50S has been resolved by Weihrauch.

Is the cheekpiece the same on the left and right sides of the stock, or is it more pronounced on the left and just a bulge on the right? Being a lefty, I'd be disappointed to find it's not truly ambidextrous.

Thanks, and congratulations, Tom, on your 50S.

Pretty much even on both side, here from a borrowed picture ..

[Broadus]

Thanks, gg51. That answers that. Some internet vendors have what was evidently an earlier description of the stock, indicating a cheekpiece on the left side for the right-handed shooter but a less-defined bulge on the right side for the left-handed shooter. I'm glad to see that they are now the same.

For what its worth, mine (new last year from PA) looks like the one pictured, not a particularly high comb but equally cheeky both sides.

What is the length of pull of the HW50S? I've read that some say it's a little longer than they like.

Roughly 14 3/4", maybe a scootch less as the tape was bent around the grip ..
