Why does my AK with grip feel worse than hunting stock?

If you want to actually hit anything the sporter stock is the way to go. The pistol grip setup I think lends itself to fighting in the field where you are ambushed and don’t have time to shoulder the stock, just point and shoot until you can shoulder the stock.
I thought the same thing though, all this crap with bullet buttons and fin grips for a config I don’t even care for.NRA Lifetime member

"Sporter" stocks won't work on most if not all regular AK types with the trigger in its standard location.
Most of the "sporter" type AK's are SAIGA types which have their triggers moved more to the rear of the receiver where the pistol grip would normally be located.Poke'm with a stick!

Interesting. I just assumed that I the pistol grip would be superior since all the modern fighting rifles have it. I assumed that I would like it just fine once I had some practice with it, but I enjoy the feel of my hunting stock rifles much more. I have not tried running a tactical course or shooting around corners, etc. with any rifle.Comment

That definitely isn't the reason why pistol grips are preferred.
Pistol grips on long guns are generally preferred because it induces less strain on the wrist joints when holding the rifle up for extended periods of time.
For hunters and target shooters who usually shoot supported, or if they shoot unsupported they do so for only brief periods of time, the benefit isn't noticed. When your holding a service weapon up to your shoulder for more than a couple minutes at a time, checking corners and clearing rooms, the strain becomes much more noticeable the longer you hold the rifle up.Comment

In modern rifles, the pistol grip also removes a pivot point present in traditional rifle stocks. Recoil maintains a straight rearward direction instead of hitting the pivot point and pulling the muzzle upward.
It does introduce more height over bore for the sights though, for whatever that's worth.Comment

The different thumb hole stocks were a stopgap method to get around some of the federal restrictions and allow importation.
I personally never found any which were comfortable. The Hungarian you DeShawn a hole which made for a thinner "grip" portion. The Romanian's were very thick.
The trigger location for all of the different thumb hole stock types were all standard AKM locations.Poke'm with a stick!
