I picked up a standard Hawkeye synthetic stock to compare "felt" recoil to the skeleton stock. Both have Limbsaver pads on them for the LOP increase along with the other obvious reasons. The old zytels are as tough as they come and I appreciate their ugly utilitarian nature. I disliked the factory issued Hogue very much.
I will shoot a 3 shot group with the Zytel and then swap the barreled action into the Hawkeye synthetic and fire another group of three. We'll see if one noticeably thumps me less.
