[QUOTE="THE1LAF, post: 3039296, member: 127503"] I don't think this difference in technique is covered enough & how we setup our rifles. I used to shoot a lot of competition 3 Position smallbore. rifle but in "pocket of shoulder" heavily bladed stance, no external rifle support New(er) PRS / Competition method rifle but on collar bone, as close to centerline as possible square behind rifle, with rifle on some sort of support It has always been known we want "bone on bone contact", muscle is inconsistent, and to find a rest that doesn't involve stress whenever possible, but all the shoulder is a big mess of muscle & tendon. both ways work, but rifle setups are completely different, I learned this the hard way when I shot a wounded muley off-hand at 200 yds with a 300 WM. form was perfect but rifle wasn't tight enough in my shoulder and she scoped me pretty good. My older rifles running a bladed stance were 13.25-13.5", but my new HNT26 I'm setting up from a more square approach. 12.5" almost feels too long, my scope will be all the way back in the mount. (I'm 5'10" & 180#) [/QUOTE]
