The fit of your gun stock can significantly impact your shooting performance. A poorly fitted stock can cause discomfort and decrease accuracy, while a well-fitted one allows for better control and precision. This article explains the importance of a properly fitted gun stock and shows you how to achieve the perfect fit for your replacement stock.

A well-fitted stock ensures that you maintain proper alignment between your eye, the sights, and the target. When the stock fits correctly, you can handle recoil better and maintain a consistent shooting position, resulting in improved accuracy.

Key Measurements for Gun Stock Fit

  1. Length of Pull
    The distance between the trigger and the butt of the stock, known as the length of pull, should match your arm length to ensure a comfortable shooting position.

  2. Cheek Rest Height
    An adjustable cheek rest helps you achieve a proper cheek weld, ensuring your eye aligns with the scope or sights. This reduces the need to adjust your head position while aiming.

  3. Grip Angle and Comfort
    The grip of the stock should feel natural in your hand, allowing for easy trigger control. A comfortable grip enhances control and reduces fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
