Heym sr20 Stutzen stock wobble

[Essexsussex]

The stock on my Stutzen is tightly fitted at the action. Forward at the muzzle end it takes very little pressure, like thumb and forefinger, to move the stock to touch the barrel.

The metal stock tip at the muzzle prevents the wood touching the barrel, but the metal does touch the barrel.

I think i am shooting it consistently, using a sling and bag under the action, and it’s fairly accurate in what I imagine Stutzen accuracy should be. I don’t think the stock/metal stock tip is touching the barrel when I shoot like this. But, it doesn’t seem right.

Thoughts please Stutzen owners?

As expected, crack on

Thank you

Just to add. Don’t use a wrapped around arm sling hold with a stutzen, as this will pull the thin stock onto the barrel.

Flip. Thought this was the style required rather than cross arm etc. thanks

Wouldn’t use cross arms either, but do hold the forend with your left hand , just don’t pull the forend tight with a sling as torques it sideways

Basically shoot as per the .22 air rifles we all had as kids!
