I prefer a straight comb, at least on any rifle with recoil. Getting rabbit punched in my cheek every time I shoot tends to ruin my concentration. - dan
It depends on the gun ..... I need a solid cheek weld and that aligns/fits with the sighting picture.
On some guns a monte carlo stock gives me a better cheek weld and a more consistent sighting picture .... and on others it is too much cheek weld and I get "kicked" in the cheek ....
Two points of contact are the cheek and the shoulder, the Monte Carlo increases the vertical distance of these two points. Line-of-sight/eye-above-bore is the same with a straight stock or Monte Carlo, but the end of the stock where the butt plate is is lowered. People with longer necks may find a Monte Carlo more comfortable, people with short necks may like the standard stock better.
The stock contacts the shoulder, that is the base-line. The increase in vertical distance with the Monte Carlo means the bore line is higher. Heavy recoiling rifles tend to pivot at the shoulder, rotating enough that recoil is transferred to the cheek more than a straight stock.

I don’t have a strong preference either way, I have straight stocks, monte carlos and adjustable cheek pieces. This thread got me wondering though; enough that I was opening safe doors and counting.
I have admit though; as much as I like the look a modern classic stock; Monte Carlos fit me better and on long range rigs with big optics adjustable is the best way to fly.
