Brown Precision VS. Nesika Bay Stock

[Hornetx60]

I have owned a Nesika bay hunter stock. What is the differences between it and the Brown precision Hunter stock? Someone once posted on a thread here that the Brown stock fixed some of the difficiencies in the Nesika stock.   Does anyone have a good picture of the Brown stock or a site I could go to?   Thanks  Bill R

Here is what Brown Precision says about it:
This stock is designed specifically for Silhouette shooting.  This stock is inletted for the Remington short action, will take a large No. 6 barrel and has a full magazine mortise molded onto it.  The comb and toe of this stock are just legal by the rule book.  The comb is constructed of a tough fiberglass inner shell with 1/2" of hard - but easy to file or sand - material on top.  This way you can easily remove extra cheekpiece to suit your own taste and not affect the structure of the stock.


Here is Brown Precision's website: http://www.brownprecision.com/SilhouetteRifleStocks.asp

I have one of these with a Kimber HS stuck in it.  The biggest difference I see between the two them is that the BP has a rounded for-end. It is also heavier. I don't know if it fixes the difficiencies of the Nesika Bay, but is tailored for a different type of shooter style.  Using the Nesika stock, it's  square stock can be uncomfortable if you rest the stock between fingers, or grip it. The Nesika seems to be more aligned to a shooter who rests the gun on their fist. Really it comes down to preference, you need to give them both a try.

You might want to talk with Mark Pharr in Round Rock, TX.
He's got a new, propietary, stock -- made by the same fellow who produces the Nesika -- that addresses the issues of both the Brown and the Nesika.
He can be reached at 512 246 7563.

To avoid Mr Pharr getting a bunch of the same phone calls could you please summarize what he said or explain the stock design.  Thanks.

"the palm swell is bigger but smaller at the top of the grip, it has more relief behind grip for your thumb. All this helps with less tension and a more relaxed hand for better trigger control . "  .....Thatlast part came right out of an email from Mark.......The cheek piece is straighter on top continuing forward instead of sloping down like the nesika. The rear of the stock in  the action area comes back further to allow the fitting of the Anscutz actions without  having to build up the stock with epoxy.  It's like Mark said to me it is a preference thing...I happen to agree with him and the choices he has made in his design of this stock, so I'm going to try one. His shooting style is simlar to mine from our conversation so I think the stock may work well for me. Different strokes for different folks though ya know!!
