I have a Remington Sendero SF II in .300 Win Mag that I have "semi-customized" myself. It is one of the newer model Senderos that has the HS Precision stock with aluminum chassis. I love the stock...however I do have one complaint. The distance from the trigger to the grip seems too short to me. It causes me to adjust my grip in a way that I really don't care for. I have replaced the factory trigger with a Jewell trigger, but the issue is still there.

Can anyone here recommend a solution? I feel like something similar to a trigger shoe is needed to extend the front surface of the trigger forward, so that it hits my finger properly (near the tip instead of mid-knuckle). Any suggestions?

You probably need a different stock.

Adding a "shoe" will decrease your feel.
Pull the trigger from the side from the middle of the first pad of your index finger.

Adding an adjustable cheek piece & adjusting the length of pull of the stock will help also.

McMillan will move an inlet forward. Swept grips aren't good for great for finger position unless you grip them low to lengthen reach. Just like the comb is too low for most optics and mounts.

Most stocks have that problem..A custom stock of English design has a more open grip and is my choice..A trigger shoe will extend trigger reach a tad, try it and see...double set triggers will do the same thing and tighten up a grip..I can't stand a tight grip..You need at least 4.5 inches from wood to back of trigger guard with an open grip curve.

Timney makes a trigger with a near-total trigger shoe adjustment. Take a peek and see if that might work for you. I just installed one on someone else's rifle and I like it lots.

For me: Off a bench, bipod or prone, it's hard to beat the vertical grip model stocks but they're not my choice for a walking rifle.

The "feel" of a rifle stock is so personal that it makes me shake my head when recommendations are made to other as though it's God's word. As it should be, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Hee Hee...ever wondered what kind of a stock it would turn out to be if you followed all the advice?

You're right! Opinions and "good advice" are rampant on this site and I'm as guilty as the next guy.

Vertical grip, open grip, palm swell or not, wide or narrow forend, round or flat, on and on and on? I suppose that's why I said it's a personal thing. One man's junk is another man's treasure.

With that said, it would be an abortion if one tried to incorporate all the opinions/options into one rifle. (seems like I remember we saw one in the custom section a couple years ago and we all had a good chuckle).

I sure do like to have the owner of a custom rifle I build to be close enough to try the fit form time to time..I have a friend on AR that I build stocks for and his LOP is little more than a pistol grip its so short, but he loves the fit, because it fits him..I shot his last one on a test fire and it took me two day and a jar of vasoline to get my thumb out of my nose?

I've been making "pistol" stocks out of rifle-Savage-stocks, be sawing off the back and adding a common AR pistol grip. I'm still searching for the "right" relationship, grip to trigger, and it ain't easy. Checked against Ruger Charger, S&W M10, Savage Striker, and others. A quarter inch makes a world of difference. Have pic but can't post it here.
