    Style all comes down to personal preference, I don't like stocks designed for prone use or fat, vertical pistol grips.

    G'Day Fella's,

    Gimp, I'm the same as yourself.
    I'm not much of a fan of the "Tactical" type stocks and because of this, I have a number (8 ?) of the High Tech Specialties (HTS) stocks, fitted to my hunting and shooting rifles.
    I have a McMillan Hunter Class stock fitted to my Live Varmint, switch barrel (.22-250 AI & 6.5 x 47 Lapua at present) rifle and no doubt about it, McMillan are very good but HTS are still good but a heap cheaper!!!
    I firmly believe that HS Precision stocks are only average!
    What HS don't tell you is, the reason that they have an Aluminum bedding block in their stocks, is because if they didn't, any good whack and the stock would break!
    They Have To put the Aluminum bedding bits in there, to give the synthetic stock material they use (injection molded), some rigidity and strength!!!

    I hope that helps with some decisions

    Doh!
