Your entire premise in this thread is non-sequitur, and frankly, completely backwards - as you’ve seen described in the last few responses, the most accurate shooting disciplines which exist on Earth do not use cheekwelds, but rather just make light contact with the stock.

If a person is just zeroing the scope at50 to 300 yards, and subsequently only shooting near their zero distances, then the only consequence of a scope which isn’t level is a little more hassle when trying to zero. In that case, it’s really just a matter of having a center point in the scope...

All of these things only connect pieces together. None of these things level the scope reticle or elevator assembly to the align to the bore. None of these things control relative alignment between the pieces. Why do autoshops align steering linkages? Why do they balance tires? All of those...

Bix n’ Andy triggers are popular in PRS, but typically the Tac Sport or Tac Sport Pro, which comes down to 3.5oz instead of 1oz of the Competition model more commonly used in F-class and Benchrest. TriggerTech Diamonds are the other popular PRS trigger which turn down to 4oz. But most PRS...

All of us with high end PRS and ELR rifles also have adjustable cheek risers - but it doesn’t mean we’re pounding our cheeks against them. Contact for reference alignment? Yes. “Cheek weld”? Nope.

This is a non-sequitur argument: Yes, if your sales volume is stable, stagnant, but mine triple, if we are the only sellers in the clothing market then yes, your marketshare has shrank, because in the “clothing market,” yours did not grow while mine did. If I am eating more of the pie, I’m...

The phrase is: “correlation does not imply causation.” You seem to be grasping at an unrealistic definition of “temporary influences,” since I presented data reaching back 21 years in one list, and over 35 years… And it is very clear you do not understand what is “market share.” Market share...

As I described in the post you quoted, had you read it: The 44mag lost marketshare among revolvers in the last 20yrs, which have also lost marketshare as a whole among firearms in that time.

Analysis of the above 44mag data against the larger set of firearms and revolver annual manufacturing data actually seems to prove that 44mag is - in fact - losing marketshare. In the same years I listed above, there WAS a relative downturn in 44mag um production, and even if we think the 2022...

I can’t take credit - it wasn’t a registered trademark for them, not an official brand model name, but “Vaquerito” was used in Ruger ads in the early 2000’s for the fixed sight 32 h&r single 6’s:

Why? Why would we want to push our rifles off of target any more than benchrest shooters? We have LESS support for our rifles, why would we want to apply greater forces and induce more movement?

Neither of these companies offer Savage drop in barrels. But there are plenty of aftermarket smiths making drop in barrels using these blanks, and those from others.

Yes, too much cheek pressure is problematic for benchrest shooters also, and will typically pitch shots high and inside, and as bad, push the rifle inside, off target, which wastes more time resetting the rifle for the next shot. I only addressed PRS and ELR as an extension of the answer our...

PRS shooters and ELR shooters generally also just “kiss” the stock with the cheek. One of the most commonly heard errors ELR coaches point at is “too much cheek in the rifle.”

By most standards, I’m a “have,” I’ll pay whatever I feel like paying when something I want comes up. Dozens of my investors in multimillion and billion dollar projects I have lead over the last couple decades do the same. I could buy a million dollar rifle tomorrow, all it would do is change...
