You're right, Tim, it does look like Berg is using a regular Bleiker stock. Wonder who will be the first to try one at a WC?
For folks wondering about Sonja's rifles, here's her smallbore rig:
and her air rifle setup:
It looks like there's more alike in her standing position between the two events than there is different. I do find it interesting that her cheekpieces aren't identical, but maybe that's not such a big deal. I haven't started shooting standing yet, so maybe I'm overemphasizing commonality.

Jason,
I'm not a standing shooter either, but I think Sonja started back when ladies were required to use the Standard rifle for smallbore, so it's not surprising that her position is very similar for 10m and 50m.

Apologies for the digression, all this has nothing to do with Bleikers!
If I was looking to benchmark "setups" interesting is the angle this shooter's front forearm/wrist make... a little different then what I thought we we're "supposed" to do... straight lines/remove the joint. As a new shooter I have a similar angle, but the rifle sits in my upturned palm... anyone have a similar angle or opinion? (sorry if I'm off topic).
If you think that's at an angle you should see the position of her legs/hips
Sonja is one who's position seems the opposite of what we perceive as the standard,but she's up at the very top
