Abstract
A rifle stock has an elongated body with a forward end and a butt end. The upper and lower edges of the stock are solid and continuous from front to rear. A slot generally parallel to the butt plate is formed adjacent to the butt plate to allow limited flexing in response to recoil. The stock may be formed as a hollow shell with opposed side walls, with slots to find in each sidewall. Several parallel slots may be defined in each sidewall. The slots may be occupied by elastomeric elements.
