Thanks again for all the good suggestions.
We've tried staggering the feet, and opening the position a bit.
The shooter didn't feel comfortable with either of those fixes.
Another thing we've tried is to order some riser blocks for the sights.
This shooter has such a long neck that he can't keep his neck straight, and still see through the rear sight no matter what we did with the buttplate and the cheek piece.
Earlier this week, we spent a solid two hours with him in front of a full-length mirror, adjusting the buttplate, cheekpiece, etc, and trying to get his neck straighter.
He had to really dip his head to the right to see through the sights.
Will try riser blocks when they get here to get his head more upright, and his neck straight, and see how that affects his L to R sway.
Isuguncoach, we'll look at putting the buttplate where you suggest....in the pocket just above the bicep and just under the shoulder, right?
Thanks again for all the responses.
