[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1746552, member: 4235"] I had one for a while. It did not work for my intended use for the rifle, so I sold it. The main reason I didn't like it was because it was too heavy. It turned my 8.5 lb. rifle into a 11 or 12 lb. rifle. It did have some nice features though, such as the click-adjustable cheek rest, click-adjustable LOP, QD push button swivel sockets front and rear on both sides, sling studs front and rear on the bottom, and the underside picatinny rail with a slip-on cover. It is pretty comfortable to hold, too. One thing about this stock is that it is not a drop-in fit, as advertised... you have to file the "pads" where the trigger group touches the stock until it will lock up. However, this did allow me to remove just the right amount of material so that the trigger group locked up nice and tight. The rifle shot fine in it... not really noticeably better than in my SAI plastic stock though. Like I said, it is heavy -- 2 or 3 pounds more than a GI wood or fiberglass stock. Weight-wise, it is in the neighborhood of a Sage or JAE. The weight might not bother you if your rifle is just a range toy and is only ever shot off the bench or bipod, or if you are some kind of cardio monster, but mine is a field rifle that I need to be able to hump out into the woods, so I had to pass. Luckily I was able to sell it for what I paid, since I got it when they were brand new and they were hard to get. Certainly this stock doesn't give you the main benefit of a Sage or JAE, which is the tension bedding that gives you better accuracy, but it does give you the same ergonomic features, and of course it is about 1/3 the cost of those others. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
