There is a world of difference in recoil and shoot-ability between the above two stock configurations.
I disagree. There is a technique to shooting the lower stock shape. Most folks don't understand it and do not do it.
Yes, I have and use both. And have shot them a whole bunch in different positions. They both work and have different advantages.
My crescent butt rifle is a .45-100. Typically loaded with as much as 107.5 grs of 1.5fg Swiss and bullets up to 550 grs. I've owned and shot if for.... over 15 yrs anyway. I don't really recall when I first go it.
