[QUOTE="carbinero, post: 511783, member: 21901"] Thanks Roy, I also just checked out your blog...looks good! I can appreciate the idea of adapting to the rifle, but this idea of "getting the thumb out of the way" was intriguing to me. I have been thinking especially of the AICS, then what both Manners and McMillan offer in terms of a "classic" design versus the cut-out on top so you can wrap your thumb around vis a vis a pistol grip. The classic is certainly less comfortable, but if that helps you shoot more consistently, who am I to argue? I also wonder why all stocks aren't made in some sort of warp-around style, since it's certainly more comfortable, unless it's simply due to manufacturing cost--since I assume the stock must be stronger to compensate for that cut-out. I wonder if there's a notable difference in effect on shooting offhand versus supported, and if the bench shooting would carry over into the field enough to minimize the difference...and thus adapt to the gun. I know I may be making a mountain out of a molehill, here, yet find it interesting nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
