NugginFutz, the ergonomics of the gun aren't as good as my hunting rifle, and I can't get the butt to sit as low as I like with my 270 win (which kicks hard as hell because it's 5.5 lbs). The grendel build only weighs 5 pounds and has no rubber or foam padding. I also only weigh 130 lbs with low body fat, so there isn't as much cushion as I'd like. But mainly the gun is sitting in the wrong spot. I'm not putting it on the clavicle, instead right in the crook of my arm. The top of the butt hits hard on a spot of the shoulder where there is especially little padding before bone is felt (below the clavicle). To make matters worse, I tore something in that shoulder a few years ago and it didn't heal right, so the bruising could be partially due to that. I'm thinking maybe if I get a scope mount that extends even further, I might be able to get into a better shooting position.
