Look at the original Ruger 77 stocks.
The one everyone thinks is great. It does look nice.
Don't copy it.
Hardest kicking guns I've ever shot.
Ex-B-I-L had one in 7 mag.
Would roll up a jacket as an extra pad. Still complained about the kick.
Dad had a 7mm Vanguard, I had one in a Sako. We thought he must be a pussy.
Our rifles didn't bite.
So, we tried his.
Quick found out a 7mag can hit harder than a 300.
At least for the shooter!
Boat paddles? The Len Brownell designed version is a very good design.
