What is the Rationale Behind the Tyrolean Stock?

Why is it preferable to the adjustable cheek/shoulder stocks? Or is it?

What is the purpose behind it?

Thanks, Anthony

TO CHEAT! Plain and simple ;) Just kidding, from what I understand and from the looks of it they are designed in such a way that your head is practically automatically relocated to the same place every time. They would also appear to give you chin gun affect in that your chin is resting over part of the stock not next to it. They were highly accurate but banned anyway. Chin guns in silhouette were banned for pretty much the same reason.

I am sure others more knowledgable about them will chime in soon.

Oh, Oh, to tie in a separate thread. How about we'll give up the leather pants, if we get the chin stocks and blue jeans back?

The downside of the Tirolershaft is that uniformity of cheek pressure (down, forward and backward) is even more important with anything with any recoil at all.

If you're pushing back , the stock recoils away from you, if pushing forward, the stock pushes into your face with recoil.

I've built some Tyroleans for 10/22 Team Challenge guns. If the shooter's "on" it works well, but it's much less forgiving of small lapses in form.

Sure are pretty, though. And feel GREAT.
