Not tried Warren. I've contacted a couple but I'd like it sometime within the next 12 months or as soon as you mention air rifle its a very snobby no not interested!
I need something with a cheek riser when I'm shooting with a scope as I have a neck and shoulder problem.

Why not get Nobby on here to pop a riser on your 75 stock

I luckily managed to get a replacement stock to replace the one that was ruined by a terrible refurb and want to keep it original.

Why not get Nobby to do the "ruined" stock?
And keep the standard, replacement stock.

The problem you’re faced with is the same for any skilled craftsman; the good ones have a long waiting list because they’re good. You have to either accept that or take a chance on someone less established.

It wouldn't strip it back with the amount of awful stain and varnish it was drowned in so it went in a skip.

Ask Nobby to make the cut like the 75 HV... Then it will look original
Edit... His turnaround is usually about a week.

I asked him when I first got it, its a hollow butt so can only be a shallow straight cut. I'll probably end up having to sell the 75, 601 and Pro Sport and get an Anschutz 9015 that I'll be able to shoot comfortably.
That escalated quickly.............
I've come across that attitude quite a few times myself. I don't understand it as there are way more people shooting air rifles of one sort or another than any other type of arm. However, rifle stocks aren't quick to carve and they do require much more timber than other types, which becomes more rare and expensive the finer the wood. Also, there are hard limits to how much people will spend, regardless of how much work is put in. It must be touch and go whether they can make a decent wage.
Personally, I'd bite the bullet (no pun intended) and get on a waiting list. I don't think Warren's is up to 12 months, maybe half that.
Shame you binned that stock. Most things can be rescued.

Be someone out there with a smashed up 75 stock checking skips now

Not really bud, if I don't have an op on my neck I'll not be able to shoot springers much longer and when I do there is still a high chance I won't be able to either. The 75 is the easiest to cock so I'm just trying to hang on to doing something I enjoy as long as I canThat escalated quickly.............
If not it'll have to be a PCP.

I think Gary Cane is still making stocks, wait time was long, I seem to remember I waited six months plus a number of years ago.

I'm assuming you've asked @Tomdavies9 already as I put you onto him previously..?
