It's all about stock fit for me. Tikka T3 rifles even in 243 jump up and hit me in the cheek every time and are difficult to shoot well. On the other hand, a Ruger M77 boat paddle stock 30-06 with 180 grain handloads does not seem to bother me at all, and some find that stock configuration painful to shoot.


Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.
