Best stock for offhand/silhouette?

[dannyjbiggs]

Shucks ...gonna have to withdraw them for silhouette...never did like silhouette anyway; only shot one match and that was with a light-barreled M-14. (They certainly severed me well in NRA HP off-hand though.)

Here is my set of SB and HP rifles with Wooster stocks

The M700 in 7mm-08 is what I use for our monthly club level HP matches. It wears an H-S Precision hunting rifle stock.

While I no longer shoot rimfire rifle silhouette, this box stock CZ 457 would easily get me back to Master class even with that 6x Leupold.

Yes sir, that anschutz doesn't buy me any more points but it was fun building it!

For official NRA silhouette, no forend below 2" from centerline of bore, so those stocks would not be legal. Silhouette needs an any class, so you can use 1 highpower rifle in multiple NRA disciplines

I use stocks made by Steve Wooster in Washington state, I will upload a picture in a bit

+ 1 for Steve Wooster. I have a later one from him that has a butt stock more like a Pharr. Lots of good advice give here. I'd shoot a sporter to start and hope someone would let me try other stocks before I committed. Wooster and Pharr seem to be the more common used now days.

I'm still somewhat cheap. I use the same stock for high power and smallbore because my Borden and Stiller actions have the same footprint.

Local club is talking about setting up a scaled down silhouette type comp.

We run a 3/8 scale club rimfire shoot. A category for just about everybody, bolt, lever, semi-auto.
My favorite so far is a Marlin Pistole Grip..

Lots of good info thanks.

If anything happens with it guess I'll run the factory sporter stock and see how it goes- doubt that will be the limiting factor anyhow

Hey mattri, WY is reasonably close to the epicenter of silhouette shooting in CO. Let us know if you get any match action going. I'll bring over a few shooters to help you guys get started.

Mark Pharr's website.

I obtained a walnut copy from Treebone caving who was making them for Mark if I remember correctly.

I don't currently shoot Silhouette but moving from a Brown Precision Silhouette to a Pharr Silhouette stock was worth around four to five extra animals per 40 shot bank it was that good. That was smallbore with an Anschutz 1712. Just made the rifle so much easier to shoot.

Agree on Mark Pharr's offering.

I have not noticed if anyone has mentioned HS Precision. They used to make a stock for this type of discipline. It was a thumbhole stock and it was a very, very comfortable stock. I used it on a 20" suppressed 308. It was a very nice and great feeling stock for the purpose. Price was right also.

HS is still on the boycott list

Politics aside, they still make nice products. Looks like they have dropped their two silhouette specific stocks from the line, though.

I am not aware of a boycott list. Just mentioned a Silo/Anz type stock that worked very well. That is what the OP wanted. Hope I did not offend anyone. Fill me in on this boycott list. I still see them being sold on this site from time to time. I have a PSS that I plan on using someday.

The picture in post #23 shows one of the six same H-S stocks in my safe. I had one of the thumbhole silhouettes, but shot better scores with the hunter design.

(If you can find them) Past issues of ‘Precision Shooting’ from ~ before 2005 and earlier had a series of articles on David Tub’s ‘Chin Gun’ for shilhouette matches. Pretty interesting reads, or contact David Tubb himself via his website.

Thats all you had to say. Cant believe they didnt hire chipman too. They could have used that pic of him in waco that became famous again recently
