I agree with Drew (again). A better target gun than the standard. But the regular item feels more classically “sporting”. That said, most “sporting” stocks since have evolved to a more “target” style.
The standard stock is indeed sporting, slim and easy to handle. With the open sights it lines up on target when you point it, easy as looking. More like a shotgun than a target rifle.
