John Farbrother - 2018 BFTA & WFTC Springer champion - explains the importance of Rifle Fitment and Adjustable Rifle Stocks.

...

Rifle fitment can come in the form of many ways and getting the perfect setup can take years to achieve especially if you are working alone on this.

When you adjust the stock and balance of the rifle with sliding weights this may give you a placebo effect of improvement, however, in reality until you run some tests at the range it may become apparent that the adjustments made have actually had a negative effect on the accuracy.

One way of solving this is to get an experienced Shooter to look at the fit of the Rifle when shouldered. This will enable them to see if there are adjustments that can be made to gain maximum effective contact from the Butt, Cheek, Grip and Forend of the Rifle Stock, as what you feel is right may not necessarily be the case if you are new to this.

Also, you may find that adding weights to the Rifle can alter the balance and also make the Rifle feel lighter when shouldered due to the improved balance.

In any case, an adjustable Stock is a must-have if you are looking to improve the accuracy of your set-up and consistency in shot placement.
