Asked this question previously and no hits. Trying again with lots of pictures and less words.
Virtually all handguns position the firing hand fingers an inch or less behind the trigger. . .
like my .45 here.
Many precision rifle stocks also position the fingers of the firing hand very close to the trigger to facilitate a short, straight, and un-strained trigger pull. . .
like this drop dead gorgeous Anschutz 1927 CISM
or this Doan Trevor Palma stock
Some of the most widely respected sniper rifles have adopted these ergonomics. . .
My question is this: Why do Manners, McMillan, HS Precision, Bell & Carlson, etc. make their precision rifle stocks with the grip so far behind the trigger?
like this Manners PRS-1 as an example
Is it just something that got carried over from making sporter stocks for hunting rifles? Is it designed for a different type of shooting? I mean look at the grip on this sporter. It's a country mile behind the trigger. That can't be good for consistent shot placement because your hand has to float, right?
