Good news....the UTG 2” buttpad extension fit well onto my Savage 2 FVT...screw holes lined up. It no longer feels like a Mattel Toy. Shoots 5-in-one groups all day.....stand close.
I have that all right but last time I mounted my scope kind of embarrassed to say I'm like 1 inch too far away from my eye right now LOL I can still use it like that and would have changed it again this week but been sick all week I'll get it right one of these days and should have paid more attention last time when I remounted the scope
@@SocialRegressive One time I loaned my brother my 7mm-08 rifle for a deer hunt and specifically told him I had the crosshairs moa for 500 yards so you will probably want to sight in again and turn down the top adjustment about 10 moa to start Should have known I had a clueless brother that came back saying, Duh I shot like five times before I got a deer by aiming at the ground as your rifle is way too high for 100 yards by like three to four feet LOL I went out and tested it right after that thinking whattt??? and it was 10 inches high at 100 yards LOL Brother is obviously clueless as to how to squeeze off a shot is all I thought if he said he actually aimed three to four feet low and said he hit the deer in the backbone I just had to think he is real lucky he did get one as bad of a shot as he proved to be LOL
I’m struggling with this. My rifle has 13.75” LOP. Fits great when I sight it in with a tshirt on and meets this test perfectly. But when I hunt I have thick layers on and need to contort my upper body to see through scope.
You're probably running into three issues: First, I would set lop for your actual field use. Go ahead and layer up. Second, set your scope eye relief when you are in your real firing position. Third, fire your range shots from as authentic a fitting position as possible. There is a big difference between bench and offhand.
The technique is straightforward, but how is forearm length LoP related to ideal shooting posture? In other words, what's special about the forearm when we are shouldering the rifle and not forearming it?
That's a good idea. Until I shoot that video, here's the long version: get comfortable behind the rifle with your eyes closed. Open them. Then adjust the cheek riser or change your ring height.
@@SocialRegressive This doesn't make sense from a geometry PoV. Measuring this way means your elbow and your shoulder crook are supposed to be equidistant from your hand. A triangle with two equal side lengths is either isosceles or equilateral, neither of which can have square angles. You'd be somewhere between 60 - 70 degrees. Am I missing something?
I just have to ask: the scope/mounts shown on the rifle in the range picture sure look WAY too high IMHO. I'm anal about getting that thing down as low as I can, just so the scope bell clears the barrel with a cover on. Maybe your personal pref? Don't know...
Since you apparently read these: I only have 25 yds to shoot safely, so I shoot with target peep sights. If I can hold 1 MOA, I should be able to hit the 1000 yd gong with your rifle. The challenge is that most modern barrels are SHORT, for a scope or red dot. That doesn’t give me a sight radius. It turns out, olympic shooters want a short barrel, so the bullet exits quickly....they add a “bloop tube.” It’s a clamp-on 1” tube that extends the barrel 6”( doesn’t have any guts), and the front sight is mounted on the extension. Since my Ruger Precision 22 has a threaded barrel, I have made a 5.5” bloop tube sight extension fro the micro can at Preppers Discount. The Hunter 100 barrel band from Amazon carries my front globe aperture sight. My sight plane is now about 29”, from 21....4 into one hole at will.
Lol pretty easy for me since I have that very same stock only in green. It's a nice stock as long as you're not worried about weight.
That's what I've always been told, but with rifles I tend to prefer shorter length of pull. Just personal preference.
Nicely done!

I get back on one of my rifles sometimes and wonder what in the world I had been up to the last time.

Great video!
I was just wondering this weekend how to do this. Thanks!

Having just watched the video from boyeds stocks perhaps watch there video, it a.bit different..
Yeah that seemed extremely difficult. Lol 😂
Well now we know how to make it longer..............HMMM my polymer stock is 1" too long so what was that again as how to shorten a polymer stock?
Check if your rifle manufacturer ever produced a youth model of your rifle. You might be able to find one of those stocks on the second-hand market.
Lop is not hard to determine. It's very simple.
I missed 86 steps....could you do comb height next?
That's a good idea. Until I shoot that video, here's the long version: get comfortable behind the rifle with your eyes closed. Open them. Then adjust the cheek riser or change your ring height.
But why? I've seen others say put in in your elbow, but we don't shoot with it in our elbow. Is it so our elbow is 90deg when shooting?
That's the goal. You might up a little less than 90 degrees, but it should be close and comfortable.

Sometimes I'm stuck with what a manufacturer sends me for testing. I had asked for low rings and they extra high. 🤷♂️
@@SocialRegressive Understood, figured that was not a personal weapon. Good video by the way. Happy shooting.

Very cool idea! I've seen those tubes on target 22s and ARs. Your fix for the Ruger is really smart. Can you make a video about it?
