I have a CZ 550 Lux with the hump back stock and it works fine for me with a scope. It's a 9.3x62 and shooting from the bench tends to drive my right elbow into the bench and gets uncomfortable after a few rounds. Guess I need an elbow pad for extended bench sessions but no issues otherwise...

I have been using a lead sled with weight for years. Have never had an issue with stock damage, and I've shot a lot of boomers off it. I find that it helps prevent developing a flinch, especially when doing load development on the big 30's and up throu 45 cal.

I don't know about you guys, but in the field when I shoot a critter, I can't remember ever having the recoil be the number one memory.

ya!
