[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1738038, member: 26227"] I am going to make this simple.. what fits you best? what comb fits you, what length of pull, what fore-end fits your hand, the only advantage any stock has over any other stock is FIT. I have taken Remington stocks off and sanded the cheek pieces off so I my face to sit right on the stock and get a good sight picture. (338 Win Mag) . I asked Chet B. to take the cheek piece off one of his stocks so I could use it on my Win 70 270 Win. It was a dream to shoot. The reason; it fit me. to fit a stock takes knowledge on you have, how you hold your hand for a comfortable trigger press, length of pull is normally a very personal thing. how you are built will help determine how your stock should be built. I once had this gun that came into the shop the guy was complaining about it pummeling him. it was a 7X57 Remington 700. I thought this was very odd and I started making sure his stock fit him.. it was all messed up. I shouldered the rifle and it felt very comfortable. then I knew it would never fit him. I grabbed an old stock out of the barrel and put the stock on his gun, then went to the range.. he was smiling ear to ear. the stock was short enough for him, it was not slipping off his shoulder in recoil, the fore-end was small enough for his hand, the wrist was smaller than the one he came in with, and he still needed about 5/8" more on the length but it was not nearly as bad as the original stock. as I said before.. what ever fits you better is the one in the end you will be happy with. For your purpose, I would say that a Rem 7, 7-08, well fitted Chet Brown stock, and some light glass might serve you well. [/QUOTE]
