Last ?? ....are there any benefits in handling recoil using a thumbhole stock like a Boyd's or mebbe one of the LR style stocks with a more verticle pistol grip ?? Both my right hand and shoulder are medical wrecks, It seems to me that there might be some advantage to handling heavier recoil better with a more verticle hand grip so you could use your palm to take more of the recoil pulse with.

A LR Comp shooter I know uses & touts a particular Manners stock I think it is, for his comp rifle's....dunno if Manners even makes a stock for my Marlin XL7 and I would expect the Manners stocks are a "little too spendy" for a beater of a rough gun ...or as my Cajun friends would say a "pirogue gun" ...which is sumthin to both paddle the pirouge with, an' beat the dogs off the fresh dead critter with before they ain't nuthin' left for dinner.
