416TanzanCheekpiece, comb, and big bores
Any thoughts or comments on a MonteCarlo cheekpiece vs. a classic parallel comb?
The Weatherbys that I have shot have always seemed comfortable (assuming long enough LOP) but for some reason it seems that people tend toward 'classic' in the pictures on 'Big bore'.
Also, my CZ 416 Rigbys have all been 'hogback' which have also been very comfortable. Sort of a straight comb combined with the lowered butt of a 'MonteCarlo'.
The 'hogbacks' have worked great with a scope for me since they encourage a more verticle head stance, which also encourages one to keep the eyebrow back away from the scope.

416Tanzanwhere I could use some help is
in seeing the advantages and especially the disadvantages in the following kind of stock for a Dangerous game heavy kicker.
This is a photo from the Boyds website.
(Yes, I admit that 7000 ft lbs is a heavy kicker, especially if the rifle is not especially heavy. The Nyati has a 22" barrel, not pictured here, and the scope is under 1 pound, so the whole assembled rifle should be around 10 pounds.)
