Good morning,
I am curious to see how many of you all hunt with rifles in a stock that deviates from the traditional profile.
If so, your assessment? How does it feel when shouldering? Is it as quick to put into action?
Maybe not so much for the Western hunters hunting wide open spaces, or the hunter sitting in a box stand overlooking a 500 acre bean field - stock profile might not mean much.
Here in the Southeast most of my hunting is in the woods, or edge of fields. Shots are usually around 100 yds give or take. Opportunities for longer shots do exist.
1. Traditional stock i.e. Winchester M70 style, Ruger M77, and Remington 700 BDL.
2. Non-traditional i.e. KRG Bravo, Bergara HMR stock, Grayboe Renegade etc. (plus the Manners and McMillans).
I'm concerned about weight or modularity. Strictly speaking to the actual profile, forearm width, grip angle, and cheek riser, etc.
Thank you for your input.
