For shotguns, the general rule is"the barrel shoots - the stock hits"- but what about rifles? With shotguns, the stock is decisive, because on the one hand, both on the shooting range and in hunting, shooting is mostly done on the move. On the other hand, shotguns have much fewer aids for accurate shooting: they usually do not have telescopic sights, red dot sights, etc.
In order to consistently hit the target, the shooter must maintain a natural and reproducible posture when shooting a shotgun so that each shot is repeatable and reliable on target. Shotgun stocks can therefore be highly customized: The set (lateral bend of the buttstock), pitch (the angle of the buttstock end to the barrels), and stock length often vary greatly from shotgun to shotgun.
Rifles, on the other hand, are aimed with the aid of a telescopic sight and are usually not shot on the move. As a result, the requirements for rifle stocks are significantly lower from an ergonomic point of view. Most rifles are supplied from the factory in a standard stock size. Only for particularly large and particularly small shooters can special stocks be absolutely necessary. In most cases, a lot can be accomplished by lengthening or shortening the buttstock, should the stock not fit in the standard version.
For the prospective buyer, this means: In the case of shotgun stocks, consultation may be necessary; in any case, a new purchase should be put to the test once. For rifles, the standard stock size in which the model is delivered from the factory is sufficient in most cases.
