Sprucing up the old HW95 with a new stock

[cslinger]

I've had my HW95 for a long time. At least 15 years or so. It had a few teething issues out of the gate but turned into one of my favorite and great shooting rifles, it has, however, always had the most plain uninspired stock of any of my other air rifles. So I finally did something about it.


I have been following Steve Corcoran's work for probably 20 years or however long he's been doing it and I finally decided to reach out to him for a stock. Awesome communication, fair price, good turn around. The whole experience has been a pleasure and he gave me exactly what I wanted.


I've yet to shoot it but here she is in her new dress so to speak.


Original stock on HW95




New Stock. Steve cut the comb for me to sort of a mid level to work with both irons and scopes. I am very happy with its feel. I know curly maple isn't everybody's cup of tea but I love the wood and it turned out just how I wanted it to with a nice figure in it and great contrast with the blue of the rifle.







Here is the old girl with her "95" stable mates.




At any rate if you are looking for somebody to do some stock work, give Steve a shout. I am very happy with the piece of lumber he provided me.


Take care, shoot safe,

Chris

I am super happy with this stock and the figure and striping in person is almost 3 dimensional in depth (Well technically it is but you get the point )

I am also happy to say the new stock seems to be shooting as well as looking good.



I should have done this year's ago.

Take care, shoot safe,
Chris

You know, now that you mention it, it does have Weatherby lines.
