[QUOTE="Tangent, post: 1858670, member: 110477"] Since this is a long range forum, I’ll assume the intent of this build is to shoot long range. I know there’s a lot of preferences out there, but you might keep a few things in mind: A vertical grip is a good thing. It allows you to have a consistent 90 degree trigger finger, and lets you pull the rifle straight back. A more swept grip will make it harder for you - still doable, but you have to work harder. A “high” comb is better than “low” comb and/or Monte Carlo style heel. You want the heel as high up as possible to be in line with the bore to mitigate recoil. Measure your own length of pull and see if whatever stock you want will fit you. A stock should make it easier for you to shoot, it shouldn’t make you work harder. [/QUOTE]
