I just got the new full field outdoors Tikka kit and it got me thinking about the aspects of lessening muzzle rise in stock gometry. I feel like the rokstock does it all with the negative comb, flat toe and buttpad above bore. I also have been experimenting with some things on other stocks/chassis including buttpad above bore with the zeroed in outdoors MDT spacer and an XLR tr2 butt stock, negative comb with a kydex cheek riser, and flatter toe of the krg bravo. now I have the full field outdoors kit with a flatter toe and I can get a negative comb with the kydex riser it got me thinking about what is most important. I think it's buttpad above bore is most important then flat toe but curious what others think?

like if the rokstock is 100% maximum muzzle rise mitigation how much can you get to 100% with messing with the other part of the equations without a rokstock and other chassis and stocks?

like negative comb with a kydex cheek riser on a OEM Tikka stock does that do anything to muzzle rise by itself without buttpad above bore adjustments? maybe 20% of the 100% of a rokstock? or anything by itself?

or what if you had the kydex comb raiser flat with the full field outdoors bag rider part does that make it do 40% of the muzzle rise? if you make the comb negative does it increase it's effectiveness by 10 or 20%?

have a krg bravo with buttpad above bore and it's flatter toe, add a negative comb piece does this improve things by 5% or 20%? do you get 60% of the rokstock? 80%?

In my experience with 6mm cartridges with muzzle devices, a chassis with a flat bag rider like Hnt26 or XLr with tr2 buttsock + bag rider + buttpad adjusted above bore it gives you 90% of the muzzle rise of a rokstock but curious what others think about this, I'm sure i'm not the only one who has played around with this.
