[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1736840, member: 87243"] I prefer a stock with a higher comb, specifically so I can get a more consistent cheek weld. With sporter stocks it is much harder to get a consistent cheek weld on your jaw bone vs your cheek bone on a stock with a higher comb. The verticle grip is better if your shooting prone in my opinion. If you have a sporter stock, a solution is a stock pack or adjustable cheek hardware, though this adds some weight. Tactical style stocks can be just as light as sporter or wood stocks, sometimes lighter. Mcmillan, Manners, AG composites, and several others make them that come in well under 2 lbs, they just generally cost $500+ new. You can get a sporter stock from B&C that weighs the same as carbon tactical stocks for only $275. For your use, I would either go with a sporter stock with a stock pack or adjustable cheek hardware or some stock with a high cheek rest. A McMillan A3 with light fill or Manners EH-1 would both be good options, I have held and used both and like them. [/QUOTE]
