I had two boat paddle stocked ruger 77 mark II rifles a 264 win mag and a 338 win mag . It didn't take me long to find out those stocks were terrible on those hard kicking rifles .It was like getting hit by a boxer in the jaw .
I put a boyds laminated stock on the 338 win mag and it was super nice to shoot half the recoil and way more accurate 3/4 inch group at 200 yards with factory ammo .I just put another plastic ruger stock on the 264 a little better but still kicks way to hard for what it is .I never liked the paddle stocks .I lived In Alaska 12 years and a lot of people did have the 338 paddle stock rugers but everyone of them said they kicked way too hard .Its just crazy what those rifles bring these days .I like the factory laminated stocks best and they are super high too .
