Need some feedback from you TX200/HW97 FT Guys

[wwo2015]

I am changing my FT stock designs for both of these guns and need some feedback from those who shoot them most. I see and have used several different configurations for the knee rests and want to offer the stocks with the option/s that are used the most today. Does it need to be adjustable in place knee rest (post and platform) or do I offer it with just an Anschutz style rail, and you add your specific specialized set up?

Thanks and look forward to hearing from some of you!

Honestly the rail will work for all classes if in open or WFTF a hamster can be added but if shooting hunter nothing.

Even if a stock comes with some form of riser, I usually take it off and install something like a Rowan riser for the adjustment and use the original wood riser from the gun or make a custom piece of wood for the riser. So the rail would be my preference for sure. I shoot a TX200 in FT competitions.

I'd prefer the rail.

I want a rail. More flexible and modular.

I would prefer the rail so I can put on what I want. It would be nice to have a version with a flat portion in front of the trigger that is about 1/2" to 3/4" deeper than the trigger guard and then the slope is a staight slope up to the front (much like the old Daystate CR94/97 stocks). I have found that many of the custom stock tried to put form over function and make it difficult to setup the rifle the way I like.

Was leaning towards the rail but wanted to confirm. As far as forearm design Brad you have very closely described what I have except the portion in front of the trigger guard may be a bit deeper than you pointed out. Hope to cut one of these later this week-just about have all the tooling and programing ready to go.

Where can I see what you are working on? Looking to get an FT stock for my HW97K

I would concur that a rail is best, but a bit extra forearm depth helps the balance a bit by adding weight to the bottom. The rail should go from the cocking lever slot back to stock screw. That is the way I inletted one on my CS1000.

I would also add that the inletting needs to precise, as that can affect the piston performance. I had problems with my CS1000 with this issue.

Steve, I am still shooting the stock you built for me some years back, for my TX200. You put and accessory rail underneath and an adjustable cheek piece. Both work exceptionally well. I use the Rowen adjustable knee riser, but if you had one with wood to match the stock, that would be ideal!
I have had a LOT of admiring looks at mine, without too much drooling...LOL

 

[wwo2015]

I have changed that design to lighten it up a bit in the front and add more features of adjustability. I hope to cut the first one this next week.

Glad you're still liking that one though!

Anschutz style rail,
Anschutz style rail, Anschutz style rail, this lets us pic a design of our own , but you could make a adjustable riser of your own to add to the sale and we could add whatever we wanted with the rail

 

[wwo2015]

It will come with adjustable comb and adjustable LOP. Rail it is!
