Help LS Wild design the new stock!

Youre on the right track with the MS grip, dont change to appease the people who shoot with the wrong hand

Once again, blatant discrimination.

Sounds like a more expensive, less modular bravo alternative than a hunting stock alternative.

Certainly, thanks for listening. I will look for pictures that I recall seeing of other shooters using the MS and my recollection is that the straight up thumb position is what they all use. I’m not sure it is magic, but that thumb position is much more comfortable for me and my hand size (large gloves). For me, laying the thumb over the grip when the cutout places the meaty portion of the hand at the base of the thumb much closer to the line of the bore than most any other stock, is awkward.
I have never previously thought about the transition from grip to bolt and back based on thumb position with the MS but will try some transitions and post my thoughts. Theoretically however, a straight up thumb requires less movement to reach the bolt knob and return.

I like my thumb in line with the bore, relaxed. I sometimes shoot like that on flat range. One issue for me is comfort of the blockiness is that my thumb is not relaxed when it is vertical.

For you, would it matter if the thumb laid down more? Or, is the vertical position of the thumb part of the comfort for you?

Hunting, I tend to wrap because I need to manipulate the rifle. In that situation I want as much real estate to place my hand.

Around here, we’re not afraid to discriminate

What’s your preferred forend look like? I am not above carving is up more, only the bottom needs to be flatish, IMO. And I intend to make sure it’s nice to carry.

What in the forend length you want? Doesn’t need to come short. Part of the allure/idea is that people can customize/personalize some aspects easily.

We want to see about making it as appealing as possible… whether we can or not…

Maybe make the butt with 2 infill pieces that sandwhich from either side so you can either have it open or closed in the same platform. Maybe even in plastic so it doesn't add weight.

Something like that could be fashioned. I expect some would like something like that.
