rifle stock

Shoulder-braced gun part

The stock is the part of a rifle that braces against the shooter's shoulder, providing stability and control.

Made of wood, polymer, or metal, it connects the barrel and action to the human body.

Stocks vary by purpose: a target rifle has a heavier stock for steadiness, while a hunting rifle favors lighter weight.
