It looks like Anschutz has taken the path of using a stabilizer.
Why do they have to make every subsequent model uglier than the previous one? And "the stickers" man! - that gets the "Cheapest marketing trick of the year" award.

I am not rifle shooter- any more, but I started out with air rifle and at that time aluminum stock was the thing to go .
I just wonder why are top shooters going back to wooden stocks?

What makes you think the top shooters are going back to wood? I haven't seen any evidence of that yet.

I wouldn't necessarily say the top shooters are going back to wood. Jozef Gonci shot an aluminum airgun for a bit, but I believe he is back to his wood stock now. Rajmond Debevec is still shooting his aluminum airgun, but he talked about going back to his wood one. It's not that the wood is any better or worse, it's just what feels good to the shooter. Some people find it easier to adjust to the aluminum stocks, other don't. Personally, I like the wood stock, but mainly that's because it feels good and I don't feel like taking the time to completely adjust to a new aluminum one. I tried it once for a few months, but didn't have much success with it.

Hey Grant, he did say "but I believe he is back to his wood stock now".
The "for your info" part sounds like you are challenging his statement.
I for one appreciate hearing from shooters at the level of Mr. Emmons, and don't think your comment was needed.

Your recent comment is as tactless as your original.
Respect, not worship. When was the last time you won a World Championship?

I just checked Keuchen.de and found a price for the new 9003 listed at 1725 euros. I really hope that is just the manufacturers suggested retail price and the actually prices will be lower.
Despite the comments on appearance and stickers (I don't prefer these either), I am really looking forward to seeing the new 9003. The features I'm interested in are: the internal stabilizer, the dry fire mechanism, the adjustable height forearm, pro grip material, additional weights near the buttplate, and new trigger unit/trigger blade (though I hope it still has at least the adjustability of the current 5018 with all the adjustments). It will be interesting to see how heavily the Steyr acquisition has played into these new features.

Hey Grant,

Certainly, exercise your wish...
I appreciate one of the top shooters in the U.S taking the time to post on TT. He obviously knows what is what in the Big Picture. I value the opinion of someone that can compete against people like Debevec and Gonci.
Matt didn't state it as fact, just that he believed that is what he was now using. The "for your info" part sounded sarcastic, no matter who's post you were commenting on.
What is your experience with Gonci that makes you think Matt is wrong?
