Question regarding stocks...

What are the main reasons for changing your stock to a better one?

I noticed some use the Pharr (hope I got that right!) stocks and they look pretty neat, but what is it that they are able to do for the shooter?

Thanks,


John

Better cheek weld, forestock more accomodating to a "split finger" hold and the fact that synthentics do not change POI with changes in temperature, altitude, and humidity.

Regarding the coolness factor. Where could one view these scopes/buy them?

jneilhouse,

Regarding the "split finger" hold, is this where the forestock is placed between the ring and middle fingers during shooting?

I have adopted a similar hold, my friend called it a "girly hold" and I informed him that it was a way more secure hold, and that it looked like the professionals... ; )

Different people hold split-finger different ways. I have the stock between my index and middle finger but have seen others shoot the way you do.
