Hi \ it feels very good one of those rifles like a shotgun it falls right on target when you through the rifle to your sholder and it only added 1 lb. more weight than the plastic stock. The plastic stock weighs 1 lb. and the oak stock weights 2 lbs. not as much as I would have thought since oak is heavy. It really didn't be as hard as I thought it would be. howie

My vote is for the Powerline 1000 right above it. Maybe it'll inspire me- LOL!
Good job, Howie.

Yeah the Powerline would benefit greatly, from a wood stock. The Win 1000x stock may fit, not sure if it's avail, tho. Bryan, the inletting is the worst part, just practice on a few 2x6's. Who knows you may end up with a practice piece that turns out like this.

Mike funny you mention the wood stock for the powerline. I was on Daisy's website last night and they are realesing the 1000 with a wood stock later this year.

If you glue the stock up out of 3 pieces of wood you get 2 advantages 1 their is less chance of twisting or warping you need to flip one of the pieces so the grain is not the same this will help with warping the other thing is you can start with a channel just a little smaller than your power plant is and use a drum sander on a drill to shape the stock for the powerplant no need for a router and building a jig to cut the channel . look at the pictures I've posted with this thread. I have a winchester 800x and the powerline 1000 if you put them along side each other it looks as the stock could be swapped the winchester is a much nicer rifle it shoots great and is smoother cocking and the power line is a bear it shoots hard and recoils as well as it is very hard to cock. maybe if I put the wood stock on the powerline the extra weight will help with the recoil since the wood stock is heaver I really need to make the poweline go away
