Training Courses stock choice to use during foundation course

[C.R. Adams]

I will be taking a foundation course and would appreciate any useful input.

I have several stock /barreled action combos for my barreled action: A more traditional, manners style stock (rifle comes in at ~11.5 lbs), a krg xray (no add'l weights, i want to say is ~12.0 lbs) and then the Xray with weights coming in 18.0+ lbs.

all things being equal, the heavier rifle will mask some weaknesses in a person's shooting. So I have narrowed my choices down to the stripped KRG and the manners style stock.

On one hand, i will likely stick to the krg for shooting (LOP adjusted to me, butt pad canted, cheek piece adjusted), but there is a personal desire to simply master the traditional manners style. So my choices are the stripped down xray fitted to me or the traditional stock. I also believe shooting the traditional style stock takes a bit more solid technique , the combination of balance, weight, etc.

what are your thoughts on which stock would be most beneficial to use during the course with my goal of a solid means to an end and not simply the end.

KRG.

proper fitment of a stock is critical to learning fundamentals. You will have an easier time adjusting the KRG perfectly to you and getting a good understanding of the basics. You can then take those and apply it to the traditional stock once youve felt how it should feel to do everything right.

Dont make it harder on yourself if you are learning.
