[QUOTE="midnightmalloy, post: 1378946, member: 25605"] So I will bite on the stock recommendation as it looks like most are focused on the cartridge discussion. Your question on stock dimensions is a very common one in the competitive shotgun world I used to play in and fit many people to stocks. I would suggest not getting any stock that has any drop at heel. So a true parallel comb or a negative comb would be my suggestion. Parallel combs with the setup you are taking about, with a muzzle brake that reduces muzzle rise, should recoil STRAIGHT BACK and this will have a parallel comb slide past the cheek and not press up into the cheek like a stock that has drop at the heel. My #1 suggestion for your friends situation would be to find a stock with a negative comb. The cheek weld slopes down from the butt stock to towards the action. This allows no padding or minimal padding to be used on the comb and when the rifle is fired it RELEASES the cheek away from the stock. This allows for a more solid cheek weld to the stock and doesn’t impact your friends cheek during recoil. [/QUOTE]
