Squishy Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 Looking for a very basic adjustable buttplate, beyond just a standard buttpad. All options welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunter177 Posted 22 April 2015 Share Posted 22 April 2015 There's 2 Anschutz Armadillo butt plates on ebay at the mo - one is £200; one is currently c. £130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim s Posted 23 April 2015 Share Posted 23 April 2015 Chris, I think Sam is looking for a simpler non-hook butt to go on a shared club rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesgutteridge Posted 23 April 2015 Share Posted 23 April 2015 Armadillo is pretty basic, plus perfectly useful with the hook removed. Maybe just a touch expensive if it's just for a club rifle. Not 100% sure Sam but I might have something suitable kicking about, I'll have a look through my old kit bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim s Posted 23 April 2015 Share Posted 23 April 2015 Basic is up/down. The armadillo can be canted, offset, rotated around the post, as well as angled backwards. It's less complex than a Gemini, but was top if the range for over ten years, and has inspired the very expensive G & E Retro. Huey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunter177 Posted 23 April 2015 Share Posted 23 April 2015 Yes- not sure I understand why you'd have a GE retro when you can have the armadillo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squishy Posted 23 April 2015 Author Share Posted 23 April 2015 Tim is right. Im after a buttplate which can do up down and adjustable chord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted 23 April 2015 Share Posted 23 April 2015 Yes- not sure I understand why you'd have a GE retro when you can have the armadillo. Cause the hook is more adjustable. And it's shiny! Squishy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim s Posted 23 April 2015 Share Posted 23 April 2015 Chris, until Anschutz resumed production, albeit in modified form, it was the only way to buy a new one. Anschutz stopped production in the late '90s. Sam, if are desperate, give me a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44mag Posted 23 April 2015 Share Posted 23 April 2015 Yes- not sure I understand why you'd have a GE retro when you can have the armadillo. Cause the hook is more adjustable. And it's shiny! And less prone to snapping at the hinge!!!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Fitz Posted 24 April 2015 Share Posted 24 April 2015 Hi Sam the SKP from Intershoot is your best bet, I just picked one up to finish off a club rifle, taking it out to play at approx 8am!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
