Im thinking of going with this model from boyds gunstock, i dont care for the laminate much and heard of trouble with tang safety chipping or splitting. the desgine here says a higher comb for scope alignment.
thanks for pointing out both higher comb and rings, its kinda what i was thinking nice to have it confirmed.
Prairie Hunter
The Prairie Hunter design sports a Monte Carlo comb that is slightly raised to parallel the bore which aids with proper cheek alignment for scope usage[/B][/U] and also has nicely blended flutes in front of the comb to conceal the thumb and prevent thumb to nose contact when the gun recoils. A graceful cheek piece provides additional facial support and is blended beautifully into the stock and grip which discourages the shooter from climbing up onto the scope and keeping the stock aligned with your shoulder for superior recoil absorption. A slender and slightly open oval pistol grip with slight palm swell is well defined with the comb to give you a firm grip which allows quick mounting to the shoulder and aids with proper eye position with the scope. A sleek beveled hand-conforming forend that is oval in shape allowing superior palm to forend weld to help improve off hand shooting, and is proportioned to complement barrels of 22 to 26 inches in length.
Also available as a left hand stock.
This is the style im thinking of
