I think it depends on purpose of the rifle.
My b5 bravo stock gives good cheek weld for a carbine, I love it. It's not the same as a bolt gun. I can make tight groups at 100yds and it's great for getting the sight on target consistently.
If I was laying behind the rifle all day taking long distance shots, I might want something different, but I don't know as I havnt done that yet. My b5 is light, and I like that for the purpose of my rifle, ymmv.
