[QUOTE="BradArnett, post: 584763, member: 32738"] My advice is for you to post up where you live and maybe some of the guys close to you would let you check out their stocks in person. Stock fit is a personal thing and it's hard to tell what you would like just by having us tell you what we like. I have, and have used, the HTG/A2/A3/A4/A5 and Manners T2. My hands down favorite is the A5 with the A3 coming next in line. The HTG is the last stock I would pick. Here's my reasoning behind my dislike for the HTG. For me the comb is too low and has too much drop. I don't get a very good cheek weld. I ran them with stockpacks to try and help and it was OK. Now I know you can go adjustable on them but I don't like the extra weight that ends up in the butt of the rifle and then they don't balance right unless you have more weight up front. Balance means a bunch to me with rifles and after going through a bunch of builds I've ended up finding out that a Sendero/Varmint contour in the 22-24" range in a standard filled A3/A5 feels good to me and I can shoot them off hand quite well also. The other thing I notice about HTG's for me is that they don't do a good job of soaking up recoil and I "feel" more of it with them compared to the other stocks.....Even in just 308's. Shooting prone the butt rides low on my shoulder and that doesn't help either. All in all stock fit is personal and you really would be fruther ahead just by getting your hands on some before you buy. [/QUOTE]
