    Bit of a boring update, some of you may of noticed the stock above doesnt have a recoil pad, the stocks come with a limbsaver, but i tend to find these to grippy on clothing etc and also far to thick for me, so i went and made one, i wont claim this idea, @Joe_90 let me know of it

    Purchased a suitable pad material, splashed out

    Yesterday went out and tested some loads over the chrono, got 2947fps average with 71grains of powder, happy with the speed, the groups appear to have opened up to an inch with the stock change, possibly could of been me as it was heavy drizzle so didnt exactly have a fun time, will load up 3 more at the 71grains and try on a more pleasant day
