Saw the favorable article in the November 2008 Rifle concerning the Blackhawk Knoxx CompStock for rifles.
Brian Pearce, with a broken right shoulder, shot multiple rounds of factory ammo from a 460 Weatherby in order to do rigorous tests demonstrating the rifle stock's effectiveness in reducing recoil.
Says it passed.
Have checked their website and watched their video. Will order one for myself if there is a left-hand version available.
Have the rest of ya'll had a chance to test this stock ?
With or without a broken shoulder.

Seems fine for iron sights. Unless you use a long eye relief Scout scope, how does one keep from getting your scope driven through your forehead as the stock collapses to absorb recoil? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.blackhawk.com/images/catalog/K70000_0BIG.JPG) I would buy tickets to see somebody shoot a .460 Weatherby with a normal Burris or Tasco scope...

I don't have the Blackhawk version of this stock. I do have the regular Knoxx CompStock for my Ruger 77 in 350 Remington Magnum. In short, I love it. It is a strange feeling after shooting this rifle due to the lack of perceived recoil. One thing I did discover is that the buttstock does tend to rise and smack you in the chops. All I did was put a Beartooth pad around the rear of the stock so that my eye was level with the scope and everything was perfect after that. I have fired this rifle (both at the range and while deer hunting)well over 100 times and have never been hit by the scope. My scope has 3.5" of eye relief, so it's not a LER scope. I believe the stock compresses only about 1". With this being said, if you have a tendency to crawl the stock, you stand a better channce to get kissed by the scope no matter what type stock you have. One final comment: My rifle fit perfectly into the CompStock, though this may vary from rifle to rifle. In any case, that has been my experience with this stock and I like it.

From the picture, I thought the stock would compress much more. You learn something every day here at the Campfire! John
