DW58 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have an Anschütz 1416 .22 sporter which I bought new in 1986 or 87. It's in excellent condition having not seen a massive amount of use. The standard stock is very light and slim and I find it rather too delicate for my needs. I'd like to put the rifle into a more robust man-sized stock, preferably a thumbhole. I'm aware that Anschütz now offer a really nice thumbhole stock for the 1416, but would the current stock fit my 26-27yo rifle? What alternatives do I have? I've done some digging and haven't found much in the way of after-market stocks, any suggestions please? I'd really appreciate some help please.

bullett243 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I had the same issue with mine. If you search for " anschutz bullpup " above (sorry can't work out how to link to it from iphone) you will see what I did to man the whole thing up a bit.

Shuggy Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I would try Joe West rifle stocks. They have a nice thumbhole stock and I believe that they can inlet for almost any action if you let them have the rifle to use as a pattern. I one tried to get a quote for a custom stock for an unusual inlet from Gary Crane and he wouldn't even give me an indicative quote unless I placed a firm order. It was very odd I thought and I took my business elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I like the look of Joe West's stocks, plus his prices are attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
