Can any point me in the direction of a synthetic stock for the tx. I wouldn't mind dropping the weight for hunting. All I've managed to find is a couple of target shooters stocks. Just after a standard stock shape. |

| I don't think i've ever seen one. The HW97k comes in a synthetic, and maybe they should consider that for the TX. |

| Be into that concept as well. They are a solid unit to carry & springer rated scopes don't help weight wise. |

True that flock. Scope weight adds when doing an all day hunt for sure. I just emailed Air Arms asking about what lighter options they have and if a synthetic stock may be in the pipeline. Not hopeful on synthetic but see what they recommend as a lighter stock. |

They arent available for TX, in fact im not sure of any Air Arms rifle that is synthetic.. They seem quite traditional in UK gun fashion - high finish, traditional materials metal and wood. You could splash out on the likes of a stock from Custom Stocks in UK - they have skeletonised designs. Otherwise there is the option of grabbing a hand drill and hacking out meat where you can  - easiest is to take off the butt pad, drill a coulple of holes in the butt end to remove a little meat. Remember its weight is in the metalwork - heavy cylinder, barrel & shroud, underlever which cant be reduced - reducung stock weight may throw off the balance.. Other option is to look out for something like an HW95 as a light weight sporter rifle ------------- https://www.instagram.com/js_airguns/" rel="nofollow - J S Airguns Air Arms TX200('s) Theoben Sirocco HW77 FWB 300s Webley Patriot One or two others...

There are lighter wood stocks. Couple looked OK but won't send outside UK. Not air arms stock. |
