I have a Anschutz 1408ED Super from 1978 that has been fitted with the 5018 Match trigger. Has original extension tube and weights. I made 18x1 mm adapter to use Ezell PD tuner. The stock does not appear to be original to this model but better in my opinion. Fully adjustable and lightweight. Rifle as shown weighs 10lbs8oz. Stone reliable and tune’s easily with Midas +. Would like to know what model the stock is from as have not seen another.

To mirror my reply on RFC. You have an 1808 Stock. Yes, it's newer than the barrel action, which appears to be a modified 1607 made in 1978. The 1808 was Anschutz's dedicated 50m Running Target Rifle: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_meter_running_target
This 1808 variant was based on a 1907 ISU Standard. However, Anschutz changed the shape of the fore-end to suit the sporting-style hold used in RT, tweaked the grip, and scooped out the butt. I'd guess this was made in the later '90s or early 2000s. I do wonder why Anschutz didn't update the model no to 1908.

You appear to have an 1808 ED Super or EDS barreled action with an 1808 D-RT stock. The stocks on the two models are somewhat similar but different. For example, the latter has the cut-out butt stock that's shown in your pictures.
From the relevant Anschutz manuals for below is the D-RT stock. Next is the EDS stock.
