There is personal preference involved, but the more vertical grips get your hand and booger hook into a more natural position and remove influence from your hand on the rifle, especially during recoil. The grip doesn't negatively affect off-hand shooting. Weight, mabe, but there are some lightweight chassis optionsI've never hunted with a chassis style rifle stock, but to me the weight and style of it would make shooting off hand more awkward than compared to a factory styled stock. I do own an HS Precision stock on a Savage, with the weight added to a target style rifle I won't be carrying it through the woods anytime soon. If you don't mind the weight, off hand shooting would be the biggest challenge to get used to since the grip and stocks are meant for prone/bench shooting.
McMillan makes some quality hunting stocks, easier to manage than target bench style stocks.
