Abstract
A stockbutt system for rifles to abate shock during the firing of a rifle is disclosed, having a butt at the near end. The system includes a rifle and an insert with the butt having a near most first end in a generally planar configuration perpendicular to the axis of the barrel. The first end of the butt has a concave configuration when viewed from the side and a teardrop configuration when viewed from the end. The teardrop shape includes an upper semicircular curve at the top with a diameter essentially equal to the diameter of the widest portion of the butt. The teardrop shape further includes downwardly tapering side edges terminating in a U-shaped configuration at the bottom. The lower semicircular curve has a diameter less than the upper semicircular curve. The insert has an essentially flat far most face in its size and shape to correspond to the rearmost face of the butt. The insert is provided being fabricated of an elastomeric material to abate vibrations during the firing of a rifle. A coupling component couples the far most face of the insert and the rearmost face of the butt.
