The term identifies a specific type of rifle stock designed primarily for hunting applications, incorporating features intended to enhance accuracy and ergonomics for the user. It generally refers to a composite stock, often constructed from fiberglass or carbon fiber, providing a lightweight yet durable platform for a rifle action. The design typically includes a raised cheekpiece for improved scope alignment and a comfortable pistol grip for enhanced control.
Such stocks are valued for their superior weather resistance compared to traditional wood stocks, maintaining their structural integrity and point of impact even in adverse environmental conditions. The enhanced ergonomics contribute to improved shooter comfort and reduced fatigue during extended hunts, potentially increasing the likelihood of a successful and ethical harvest. Their emergence reflects a growing emphasis on precision and performance within the hunting community.
