I would be interested in your thoughts about choosing an open grip for your rifle. Do you generally prefer the open grip on all of your rifles? Or do you go back and forth between using rifles with open grips and closed grips without really thinking about it.
The open grip stock really looks, for lack of a better word, "racy", or "fast". Makes the whole thing look slim and trim.
But I have noticed when I have shouldered rifles with very open grips that I have to consciously raise my right elbow much higher than normal in order to have a comfortable grip on the stock.
I don't know if different body shapes or arm lengths make it easier (or less easy) to shoot that type of rifle, or if its just second nature for some folks to grip the rifle in the way one needs to grip an open rifle.
I think it would be interesting to hear how you went about making that choice.
