So how long does everyone choose to run their stocks and why? I know several like the ace stock that is non adjustable on a rifle length buffer. (I have one of those stocks for sale BTW) But I also know several that run it short and their nose does or is very close to touching the charging handle. Main reason I ask is, I will try and be short, I just built a new rifle and am trying to get back to some dry fire practice routine. It's been since October since I have shot or handled guns much even. So while setting up new rifle I set stock to what I thought felt good. I since noticed it's set a little shorter than my old gun. So not being able to decide I tried some table starts and I fumbled getting the gun to my shoulder about 50% of the time on my old gun. The new gun with stock set shorter felt a little odd cause I had to pull the gun back into my shoulder which I don't think I am used to but getting it shouldered is smoother. Again no dry fire or range time really since October. Going prone the longer setting feels better. I use a razor 1-6 with a forgiving eye box so I could set my scope for the short LOP and then try to remember to pull it out 1 setting if there is a prone stage. Which generally makes your eye closer anyway so eye relief may be about the same I guess but just a thought. I used to run it even longer and seem to be going shorter and shorter by preference I guess. I know my shooting technique has changed a bunch also. Any input would be appreciated. So scrunch it up or stretch it out? Or just shoot the damn thing and shut up already? LOL
