Premise: Your building a rifle from scratch, parts from all over the place. You know that mostly it will be a just-for-fun build, paper/steel target out to 800yds or so, occasional varmint hunting. You hope the end result is a good looking, better shooting rifle.
What would you pick between two stocks, I'll use Boyds since a lot of folks know what they look like, the more traditional Prarie Hunter or the more target friendly Varmint Thumbhole? I know there are a boatload of other types and makes of stocks, but the choice is between those two. Also, having it in mind during the build that you may sell the rifle just to start over again, which would potentially have the greater resale "value" and appeal, the Hunter style or the Thumbhole style?
In other words, if you had two rifles on the table, identical except for the two stocks, which would you pick and why?
Thanks, kb
