Thread: hunting stock design

As much as anything it comes down to how you will use the rifle and personal fit. I am more of an active hunter rather than a sit and snipe type. Different stock styles might come in to play for the different styles. I really like the simple classic slim style that works fast and well for bush hunting as well as the odd longer shot. For me a stock style that is not too complicated works best. The more mods you have on it the slower to throw it up. I like a straighter pistol grip for this reason. The rifle handles and points more like a shot gun. But OK if you have the time to 'snuggle in'. The Remington SPS shape is a cracker and my personal preference is the MacMillan Hunters Edge stocks. They tick all my boxes and being CF they mean weight forward for faster to the shoulder and steadier off hand shooting. The Tikka T3 factory stock design looks pretty good too. The main thing is to try different syles. You will know the stock that fits you best. It will be noticeably better for you personally. Aside from that it is quality of build.
