Not too much to say about this one except, I'M EXTREMELY HAPPY with this stock that Ernie Ohlsen (aka SWIFT 220) over on www.airgunadvise.com did for me. He has done only a couple to a few stocks before and upon looking at the very first one that he did for himself, i knew i wanted him to make me one. He gladly agreed to do a stock for me and my Rapid .25. All that i had to do was to pick the wood that i wanted and send it to him and he would do the rest. I choose a CAMO LAMINATE as my choice. This gun IS and will remain a field hunter. I purchased the laminate blank from Boyd's Gun Stocks and it is no longer offered with this particular color pattern. The stock also comes with a black Morgan adjustable butt pad, swivel studs in the forearm as well as the butt stock, a quick fill dust cover complete with brass insert and a stock mounting screw with brass insert. Ernie also included and installed brass inserts for the swivel studs also. In the pictures below, you will see the inserts as well as more detail. What an eye Ernie. Details also include oval recesses on both sides of the forearm for you finger when shooting offhand, flared tip that contour along the air tank (bottle), high cheek rest, finger grooved pistol grip with the butt of the pistol grip widened, lots of room (just enough) in the thumb hole for the biggest thumbs around..lol, and the above mentioned inserts and trinkets.
Long Story shorter i would love to thank Ernie for doing such a great looking stock with a ton of character and detail and to also thank Dave G. for his recommendation...........
