Thread: hunting stock design

Hi guys...there has been a bit of discussion about stock design in the thread below "Is it time to leave the 27 gang?" and that's got me thinking about stock design...

I've been messing around building carbon stocks. One for my Husqvarna and a direct copy of my Tikka stock.
Its probably time to build a new mold and I'm looking for some ideas about what people ideally want in a stock.

None of the stocks I own have a high enough comb that I can get a true cheek weld with a scope and I wonder how much that bothers people...especially considering both prone and standing shots. Its a tricky one because everyone is different and I'm beginning to think about a lightweight adjustable carbon cheek riser...
I like vertical grip really close to the trigger but it seems most people prefer a conventional sloping grip.
And I think an offset butt has to be an advantage because it gives you a more vertical head position.

Any ideas are valued...cheers...Chris
