Most Comfortable Rifle

I find M4's very comfortable to shoulder, especially if they've got the telescoping stock.

Only guns I really find uncomfortable are G36's and AK's

bullet with a lapua case, CCI benchrest primers and 28 grains of h4895.

Bullets will not fit the mags and must be handfeed to the chamber. Also I do recommend crimping the primers...

But back on subject at hand the same Idea goes for my airsoft guns. What is confortable depends on what I want to do on the field. No point in lugging a 17 pounds sniper rifle when charging heads down into a bunker.

I have found that the AK is the least comfortable rifle to hold, the front grip is not very good.

Ergonomics are definetly on the AR side yet I tried the very last G36 with the... let's say "ACR-like" stock, fully adjustable and the old feature,ambi mag catch, trigger bolt catch and realease, etc with the legendary reliability of the G36 serie... the point on which AR are the worst in history.
Anyway I love this weapon system more and more after each update.

And on the "AR modularity" argument : why the hell would I need 10 000+ spare parts from 10 000+ manufacturers ? I got one RAS, top rail and one stock and it does everything the aforementioned parts do.

Only thing I would like now : 6.5 or 6.8 caliber kit.

have you tried modding the mag? cutting a notch into the front of the mag 5 rounds deep often allows a larger bullet to feed. i have seen this done many times there are other mods allowing even 140 gr. bullets to fit into the mag

I'm probably in a very tiny group, but I find that G3s are wonderfully comfortable.

The unreliability of the AR-15 is pretty overstated; the original m16 was terrible due to several parts which should have been chrome lined, and they were issued without cleaning kits, so the troops thought they were self cleaning. The new AR-15s, if properly maintained are quite reliable.

An AR variant since it's of the most customizable to suit your needs, body size and shape.

[Styrak]

This poll is going to be highly skewed towards AR's because that is what the majority use.

Doesn't mean it's the most comfortable.

i found the p90 to be comfortable. As it's so damn light it doesn't really feel like your holding anything.

I just got to ask!

Please define descent (in inchs)

What specific bullet are you using?
What kind of chambering are you bored to?
just curious... HP... for a 1000yards? Why not Nosler balistic tip
and why would anyone want to build a 1-6.5" setup arround an 18.5" barrel!!!!!

Cheers

This is the best open ended statement I have read on these boards Dude!

Beyond that, Pistols are likely the most ergonomically designed tool in the universe. There is only one way to hold it and the action button is un deniably always in the most utilizeable position.

so all of the assault rifles in the list that do not have a pistol grip are dropped.

The next item is weight and stabitity. Your list has only AR's with the mag between the Pistol grip and the fore grip so there are no other options there. The weight is spanned between the grips. its a draw. These rifles are all the same.

Its not like you are asking about Motorcycles which are wildly differnt from one type to the next. and trying to find the right place to put your feet.

As most guys said, AR's. Reason is there's so much variety of aftermarket parts. From the rails to the stock, and grip are exchangable for operators comfort.
