Could someone explain this trigger reach issue that has recently become a problem with 99% of rifle stocks please because I don’t get it.
If you look at the photo @khuber84 posted you can see his trigger finger is 90 degrees from his first knuckle to the tip. Folks will tell you that this 90 degree trigger finger angle allows for optimal trigger pull because you are pressing the pad of your finger straight to the rear on the trigger. When your trigger finger is not aligned in this way, there is some component of the force that is not in-line with the bore.

If I get a chance, I'll post a photo of my A3... because it is physically impossible for me to place the pad of my finger on the trigger and form a 90 degree angle at the first joint of my finger while gripping the rifle on almost every stock I've ever used.

That’s my McMillan A3 - I’m right around 45 deg on my first knuckle. Pretty typical for me on most stocks (Manners T2/CS-2 for example).

The new Vesper 6prc build, picked it up yesterday from the smith. I ordered early June, they'd never done a Vesper inlet. My smith sent the action, they mapped it, and I my smith had the stock and action back mid August. I ordered one the for the wife's rifle first week of August, they just shipped it yesterday. So McMillan is around 60 days for turn around on my last few, super quick.
What do you prefer rokstock vs mt lr?
