Someone help me understand the shape of rifle pistol grips. (I don't mean the AR-type pistol grip, but the pistol grip from wood stocks, as opposed to a straight stock.)
Now, Savage has their model 12's in a laminate stock with a a very vertical pistol grip that they describe as a "Wundhammer." I hear it described as a appropriate for bench and prone shooting. Presumably, the new "low profile" stock, with a less-vertical pistol grip, is for off-hand shooting.
But the last few days I've been surfing the web reading about silhouette shooting, which I understand is exclusively off-handed shooting with no slings or supports of any kind. And I see that a rifle built specifically for silhouette has the very vertical pistol group like Savage's prone/bench stock!
Off-hand, prone, bench. Seems like it's all covered with the vertical grip. Doesn't leave much for the slanted grip to be the ideal choice for.
Help me understand here.
