Generally speaking the F-class stocks have a flatter and wider fore end

Depends if its F/Open or F/TR... ;)

Generally speaking, you're more likely to see adjustable buttplates and/or adjustable cheekpieces on F-Class guns (either Open or TR) than on say, a BR or varmint gun.

Thanks Guys for the info. Any rules/regulations that designate the F Class "design"? Composit? Laminated?
My plan is to cut down a BR Thumbhole (fence post ;))to get close to that design. Not planned for compitition, just design. In F Class, are the adjustables a must?

F/Open stocks have to be less than 3" / approx. 76mm wide. Not really any other restrictions on weight or materials or dimensions.

The adjustable bits are mainly creature comfort features. When you are on your fourth 20rd string of the day, it's nice to be able to rest your melon on the stock fully and relax the neck muscles rather than play bobble-head behind the scope. When I relax my head onto the stock, I don't want to be looking at the back of my scope mount, but thru the scope - hence an adjustable cheekpiece. The adjustable buttplate can help fit the butt into the pocket of your shoulder better, which may help with recoil control if needed.
