I've had several Dolphin stocks, and have always modded them to take other grips, I use Walthers, but you can fit I would think almost any thing. It will involve drilling and tapping a thread and making a simple adapter to hold the grip.
My current 300 mt stock is a heavily modded Dolphin with a Walther KK500 grip.
If you want pics email me on robin.carter80@ntlworld.com

They are superb, but rare in the UK, I have one and a friend also, both came from Germany, but neither are going anywhere, better to advertise on AirgunBBS forum.
Best of luck

We won't rough it, we'll continue PI' ing if we can't get any thing, that's if we even get any shooting dates next year!!!

I'm looking for the possibility of a modern caravan to rent at Bisley, one with the added deck, on the new sites on Elcho road? I'd be looking for next year to rent for a year min, possibly two years?
Any one have one they wish to rent out, or know of a contact?
I've not had much luck through the NRA!

I'm after the said Sierra .223 80 grain Matchking bullet heads, any quantity over a full box of 50, would take 50's, 100's 500's, 1000's.
If you have a Unicorns nest in your garden, these will be in it!

Still looking, does no one have an old Keppeler K05 stock they don't want?

Nothing about? What about a Walther KK300 Alutec? or a KK300 Anatomic?

Now my wife has fallen in love with my 300 mt Barnard .223, and I have just spent a lot of workshop time fitting it into her Keppeler stock, so I now have a surplus Keppeler 6 mmBR barrel and action, so I need some thing nice to put that into!!!
Any flat bottomed alloy stock would do, a Keppeler, or a MEC, what ever, even a Precise (though not my preference).
Any one have any thing they don't want?

........ because Barnard are not exporting!I have just spoken to the main Importer, who is the largest importer of Barnards in Europe, your statement is incorrect, he has just received a large delivery of them, and has more on the way, and on order, he thinks they may have stopped exporting to individuals ordering one or two.

As my first step towards retirement I'm offering the first to go, a very trick custom built Keppeler 6mmBR Rifle. It was custom built for me for ISSF 300 mt in 2012, but it will actually be ideal for other full bore target rifle events.
The action is the Keppeler square, light flat bottomed action, with an Anschutz free trigger, the barrel is a special 570 mm (22 1/2") Lothar Walther 1 in 8 twist, that they make specially for the German National 300 mt Squad, its used with a Keppeler 6" tube. Solid positive tube locations fitted. Between the wife and I, we have had 4 of these barrels, Hmmmm....very good! This barrel was fitted for me at Keppeler in 2017 and is accurately logged at 1680 rounds. It has always been carefully cleaned with KG after every shoot and borescopes as perfect. The rifle is complete with sight raisers, and Centra Cube front sight, and Centra LR rear sight, with an iris, and a MEC lens hood, and mirage band (I have a black one as well as the orange!).
The stock is a hybrid KO5/K09 slim stock, black with polished inserts, the butt plate is the Walther KK200 (was available to special order until very recently, now unobtainium!) on Anschutz adjustable rods. With sling swivel and small hand stop.
The grip is a Walther KK300, and the cheek piece is my own design side folding, the rifle shoots superbly at 300 mts, I've shot it internationally, but I've also shot it on our TR club fun shoots back to 600 yds, and even with soft 300 mt ammo its an unfair advantage! Any one with long range aspirations who wants to put a scope on it, 6 mmBR shoots great at 1000 yds! Once you've shot out the barrel these re chamber and barrel to 7.62 nicely, would be a very trick TR!
I have some hand loaded 107 gn match ammo fire formed and loaded just for this rifle to get you started.
Why am I selling, just look at the screen, that's me, not the rifle!! I'm now struggling with back problems! My wife (she's better than me!)has shot well into the 590's with an identical rifle
Come on, first £1850 gets it!
If you are serious, I'll take more pictures and email them

Perhaps because I'm shortish 5 ft 7 I find them all long, but so many rifles are too long, think its when they are designed by some one who does not shoot prone or positional to any standard, or is tall them selves?
Couple of tall stories!
We were visiting a premier manufacturer in Austria, had the tour and they asked if we had any issues with their kit, I shot air pistol at the time with one, and I said yes, why is your trigger reach so huge even on the shortest setting, as I had made a backwards trigger shoes for mine, and done several for friends and club members, they said is it? Come and meet the designer! Soon knew why, he was about 6 ft 7 with hands like shovels!!
We have links with Walther going back years, we know the right people and call in when we can, when going over in 2015 emailed and asked if we could call in and possible see the KK500 which was then only in prototype, they said call in, we'll see. When we did and saw our contact (a director) an old friend from who shot internationally back in her day as had my wife, and chatted about the KK500, when he said out of the blue to my wife I suppose you want to have a go with it!!! Then to the range, after 5 shots she said, I want one.... but I don't want it in this stock, can it go in a Keppeler!! I'm cringing!!! Yes, he said, we'll send them an action!!! They knew why, that she shot 300 mt with one, but he said what do you think of the stock? She said, its gorgeous (it was an Alutec) but its miles too long, and it was on its bottom limit. Not a blink, the next half hour was fiddling and measuring, both her, the rifle, others called in. He said, we knew you were small (5ft 3), and a good shot so we wanted to see, all their prototypes had gone out for testing to tall men!
She got her Olympic batch action in a Keppeler, six months later, loves it, and my Alutec KK500 ordered in 2019, the length is possible to adjust very short, Walther listen.
Sorry I can run on for hours!!!
Which stock do you want pics of Phil?

Its not a Dolphin I'm familiar with if it is, I think its an HPS, which is made by Mik, but same issue for me, why are they so b****y long!!! My modded super shorties with adjustable folding cheek piece with Walther grip are much nicer, polished alloy bling, and prettier colour, see the next NRA article! Your dolphin pic is the new one, with the butt plate design they copied from one of my speciaIs , I use the old one Dolphins because they are slimmer.
I'll see Mik soon I'll confirm but you should have sold it by then!.
Sorry Phil butting in on your sale, what ever it is guys, just buy it!

Thanks Rob
Now edited as I really only want the Anschutz Precise sights, I've emailed but if I change my mind I'll get back to you.
Thanks, Have Fun

Sadly TR is still generally in the 1960's, and the thinking behind the stocks seem to follow except with makers who also make small bores.
It is reasonably simple to fit any modern small bore anatomical grips to a Dolphin, BUT, it does entail altering the base of the stock, I go a step further and remove the integral trigger guard as well so I have a flat base and then drill and tap threads for the grip and and do several locations so I came move the grip forward or back. I then fit a KK500 type trigger guard. I've done three for myself all with Walther grips, two with KK300's, the most recent with a KK500, and the first one I did just with hacksaw, files, and power drill, its not a complex job, but its not a direct swop.
I also shorten the fore end (much too long), and mod the rear to shorten it, simplify it, and fit a modern small bore butt plate, and remove the excess rear weight. The cheek piece I mod and also make it folding so it can be much higher and still open the bolt, so not a lot of Dolphin left on mine!!!.
The only one I have now heavily modified, which I got from "Journeyman" as a standard stock, and its the old slimmer one, is fitted with a Barnard P .223 and is a very trick 300 mt rifle, and is so modified its only recognised as originating from a Dolphin by those who know!
My advice if you want a better grip, if you shoot small bore with a modern rifle, just get the same grip and mod the stock to fit, if you want to do it I can email pics, will keep you out of mischief over winter!
Have fun
