I happen to be fortunate in the fact that I am an average size person and most company's build guns for the average size person. My CZ fits me pretty well and the only complaint I have is that it is a little thick in the wrist area of the stock. I guess CZ thought it might break under recoil. From what I have been reading on the net a lot of reloaders are loading cartridges well above the pressure limits in these rifles (I am not suggesting anybody do this). A friend of mine has an old Bruno stock that he says will fit my gun so I may check into it and if it fits and looks decent I will swap them out instead of having mine whittled down. Thar way I can keep the original stock.
