Anyone know or have one of the new HW 30S stock with the cutout? What is the difference good or bad? Any input appreciated.

If you are talking about the cutout behind the pistol grip, it's butt ugly. I was wanting a HW57 and managed to find two, one a .177 the other a .22 NIB, tuned without the cutout and jumped on them. It may save a few ounces, but just lacks the classic look.

Yes behind the pistol grip. How do you like the HW57 I've looked at them also. Thanks for the reply/input.

The HW57 is an excellent concept but Weihrauch's only failure. The rifle does not shoot accurately due to the tappet loading system. Six out of ten shots will be fliers. Very disappointing rifle. I purchased a TX200 MKIII that I am going to detune to a 12 fpe rifle to take it's place in my stable. Looks very pretty on my wall.

Strange, I have not set my bench up for real accuracy testing, too many rain showers lately. I just held it up against a patio umprellla shaft and was getting nickle size groups at 20 yards using an Anshutz diopter rear sight. After that initial sighting in which is not what I call fine tuned, I have been only shooting it offhand, doing about 2"-2 1/2" at that range, Not nearly as steady offhand as I used to be, but it's gettting better. The fliers I get I usually call and more like one or two every 15-20 shots.

I think they are very nice. Mine may be the nicest I've ever had. If I could only have one I might pick an older classic though.

I could not get accurate groups at 50 yards. I shot at a 12 inch Splatterburst target and the pellets pattern was very inconsistent. All of my other Weihrauch rifles make a two inch group or less depending upon my skill at 50 yards.

I got a HW30S for Kim’s as an anniversary present and she loves it. Suspect it might be her favorite. I’ve shot it a couple times, nice shooting little gun. We both like the look and feel of the stock, but we never owned an older one to compare to.

I bought a JM walnut stock for my HW50 before I bought the gun. I didn't think I would even like the cutout beech stock but when I got it I noticed it has a decent plain sawn stock without any of the typical flecks or crescents beech often exhibits that I do not care for. The color of the finish isn't bad either. I'm no fan of the lazer billboard cut into the stock while I found the cutout to be acceptable when I saw it in person. Overall I think this beech stock is nicer than I expected it to be.
The JM Walnut stock. I've been too busy now to put it on. The project got sidelined for now

Being 6'4" 250 I probably couldThat’s because you can holster it and shoot it one-handed like a side arm.
I love them because they're easy enough to cock I can do it all day. I can easily mow through a 500 tin in a day. Plus I can hit what I'm aiming at with either peeps or scope. I can repeatedly hit a two inch spinner at 50 yds with my peep sighted Hw30 and beer cans at 100 yds with my scoped 30. Squirrels inside of 20 yards and birds inside of 40 are fair game. They're just a blast to shoot. Well that's if you creative enough to make fun targets and you don't get hung up on the macho power kick.

Anyone got any experience w/ the HW30 Synthetic stocks? Do they feel cheap? Lighter? It looks like the grip is shaped differently as well.

I bought an HW50S with similar cutout stock recently, and honestly I didn't even notice the cutout until I saw someone here posting about how ugly it was. Ours feels good, and (to me) looks good.

I have one, it feels.... grippy with stippling. The whole rifle feels grippy. There is beech underneath I think, it is not hollow. Feels like a 4x4 HW30 .177. I plan on shooting it this weekend. It has been sitting in a box for over a year! Open sights at 30 yards anyone?

Yes, have them both. The older one was very plain - prefer the newer one with checkering. The cut out on the new one is funky, but overall better.
Of course, the gray laminated or the old HW30 Delux stock is preferred.
