Are you shooting from a bench or prone or different positions?
You have tried the two basic rifle stocks, conventional and chassis. The AR series is basically a chassis stock rifle. The chassis are nice due to the adjustments available. Could it be you just haven't got the MDT adjusted correctly for you? I've just never like a chassis stock. One day I might try one again but until then I have my wood stock rifles. One of those is an Axis with a Boyd's Pro Varmint stock.
FWIW, you need to know why you don't feel comfortable with it. You do ok with the rimfire tr. Is it just the weight or weight distribution? Length of pull? Cheek rest position? Texture? Or is it just the increased recoil over the rimfire?
First, I'd try adjusting the MDT and see if that changes things. Then I'd find a good shop where someone could help you by trying different stocks. DO NOT buy another stock or gun until you figure out what you really need/like.
