Forgive me if this has been covered previously (my google fu sucks).
In building a bolt action rifle the consistent cheek weld and LOP seem to be the most important from what I read. Are there other factors that come into play when choosing a stock? I'm in the middle of a budget build and are limited to the Bell and Carlson line of stocks (maybe a laminate) and cannot see any advantage to any of the lines as far as style. What parameters do you look at when it comes to style? I assume if the above major parameters are set then it is just feel and I'm overthinking this?
Background: I'm building/having built a 20" 308 Remington AAC for hunting/tactical shooting. I hunt off hand and will be taking class with this rifle next year at Rifles Only and maybe a few classes locally if available.
Thank you for your time gentlemen, your expertise is greatly appreciated.
