Stinky Coyote Wrote:big grips or definitely long grips front to back (with the rubber thumb tang) like ergo slim grip or other ergo options, the trigger reach with a smaller grip like a magpul moe-k grip is too short and your finger wraps unnaturally around the trigger on howa mini's in chassis, as for buffer tubes, really like the strike industries one, solid fit with Magpul CTR or mission first battle link lightweight adjustable butt stocks, I prefer the ctr as the handiest all round, works prone as well with your left hand reaching under like rear bag...the open butt stocks not so good there, and the ctr can get you 3 different height cheek risers to tune your height to match your scope/rings...low rings work good for no riser for example, it's not hard to add weight in a hurry with bulky rails/rings/cheek risers etc. so I would set up 40mm or less 1" tube scopes in low talley rings and base ctr butt stock with ergo slim grip on the howa chassis builds I did to keep weight in the 'hunting' realms, hope that helps
Thanks for your suggestions Stinky Coyote. The Ergo grip I am going to try is the TDX-0 with the beavertail. I only own chassis type rifles so that what mounts on one rifle also will mount on any of the other rifles.
I am 71 years young so I only shoot at paper from a bench with a bench rest/bipod or sometimes prone with a bipod now. I don't hunt so I am not concerned with the weight of my rifles. All my rifles are M-Lok forends so what mounts on one will also mount on the rest of the rifles. The same goes for grips and buttstocks. I am not a wood stock guy simply because I want to be able to adjust the buttstock and LOP to me and I can do that on all of my rifles and they all feel the same no matter which rifle I am shooting that particular day. The only exception is my Ruger AR556 which I use the MFT BATTLELINK Minimalist buttstock(I really like this stock) for my home defense rifle with a red dot and front A-Frame front site in 5.56NATO. I also own a Ruger PRS in 6.5 Creedmoor, which I use the original buttstock that it came with so I am able to adjust it to my liking.
I only use one scope and that is a Sightron SV 10-50x60 ED with the target dot reticle and 1/8in clicks at 100yds. I just switch it to the rifle the day before that I want to shoot the next day. It doesn't take much to level the scope on the rifle I plan on shooting the next day. A couple of sighters and I am back to having fun. I started with Precision Reflex steel 34mm High scope rings but have since replaced them with the PR 34mm Medium which lets the sunshade on the scope just clear the barrel.
This is where I am at nowadays. I only shoot for fun just to try new stuff. When I buy something for my rifles it has to fit in with the rest of the rifles or I don't buy it.
Again thanks for your helpful reply.
