[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 971550, member: 61747"] LOP could be an issue for sure. Try resting your thumb on your trigger hand along the side of the grip, rather than grabbing it, and run some test fire excises. You can do this on the counter at the house or on the floor if shooting prone. Just sit at the table with both rifles in position and go back and forth if you wish. The most comfortable and least comfortable aspects will show up. If the LOP on the HS is an issue you can likely remove the pad and cut it down or cut the stock. Many cut the stock and install adjustable pads for future resale etc. If the LOP is an issue during thin clothing weather imagine what a pain it will be during hunting season. Another thing to do is get into firing positon on the 260 with your eyes closed. Ensure the scope is on the higher power setting. Do not open your eyes until you are comfortable with your position. Pay attention to where you rest your cheek etc and ensure you are not strained in any manner. Then open your eyes and check your alignment , OVERALL, but especially to the scope. Do this with both rifles. My assumption is that something is off regarding your fit to the 260. For example, it appears the scope is mounted more forward on the 260 then the 223, by a considerable amount. [/QUOTE]
