pharr stock

[rr1220]

after shooting my first full season with a evelio built frankenhunter and rings at the limit of hunter class I have noticed I don't have a good solid cheek weld with the high rings so I started over with my scope height mounting the rifle to my shoulder at the point of having a solid cheek weld and set my ring height to give a proper alignment for repeatable sight picture, so I guess I am asking is the purpose of the higher comb on a pharr silhouette stock to give a better cheek weld and therefore better sight alignment and a steadier hold,after my first full season I am only at the top of A class with 2 legs into AA and I am looking to improve the set up and use of my equipment , my hold and my scores,aside from practice practice practice what suggestions would you long time AAA and master class shooters give as to proper set up of rifle and mounting of optics to get the best use out of the pharr stock
Thank You
p.s. this is a tough shooting discipline but sure is fun

I have 2 pharr stocked rifles. I tried the super high rings, then high, now I am at medium. The stock is designed for a scope, but your hold technique, (fist, or hand), and where you place it in the shoulder have a lot to do with comfort and stability. I personally never fell in love with the stock design, so I prefer the standard MSR stock. In an winter air rifle league I switched to palm instead of fist. It took a lot of tweeking with the adjustable aluminum stock, but I think I like palm better. Arthritis made the fist hold painful, so I had to switch. I briefly tried the palm with the Pharr last year, and it seemed better. Since the season starts here in a month, I'll give the palm hold a chance. So I in my opinion, the pharr is not universal to all shooters and all hold techniques, and I have not personally found a magic combination that works as well as a standard Anschutz stock yet.

I would bet the Pharr and Evelio stocks have very similar comb heights. The rules say it can't be above the centerline of the bore so you can really only go so high.

The stocks that I have used in the past are Pharr designed stocks, made by Robertson's Composites which are no longer available. My new source are made by Frank Carrillo in El Paso, they are a copy of the Pharr design.

I would bet the Pharr and Evelio stocks have very similar comb heights. The rules say it can't be above the centerline of the bore so you can really only go so high.

The rulebook allows the Monte Carlo roll to extend 1/2" above the centerline of the bore on the "off" side. It's not much, but it might make a little difference to someone struggling to get a bit more cheek weld. Have yet to shoot a Pharr so I don't know if it takes advantage of it or not. Dave

So what is the idea behind the design of the pharr buttstock and comb

[OldRanger]

Since Evilio uses Pharrs design this is kind of a moot point. They are the same stock to start with. So if Pharrs Monte Carlo goes 1/2" over so does Evilios. I have a left handed version of this stock patterned after Marks and I love it.

beautiful and accurate, just trying to learn to shoot half as well with it offhand as it does off a bag
