amccallister Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Anyone used one yet? I ordered one to try out, it's $140 on their website and looks like a serious competitor to the PRS and similar if the quality is there. I'll post my thoughts about it once I get it.

Jaxshooter Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The PRS appears to be built sturdier and can also be adjusted without tools. The price is quite a bit lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I had not heard of it, but I like the concept. It looks like it is even more adjustable than the PRS and should be lighter. One can even remove the comb all together and save even more weight. It also looks as though it could go short enough to compensate for the additional length of pull in most 308's. I'd be interested in seeing one in person to see how sturdy if feels but it looks like a cool product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 According to the website, it is a basic skeleton stock; the cheek piece and the butt plate are separate modular add-ons. Sadly, it does not appear to support adjustable cast on the butt plate, which is the adjustment I find most useful on my AR stock. http://www.luth-ar.com/ar-stock-assemblies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amccallister Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 According to manufacturer specs this one is 9.5 ounces lighter than the PRS. I already own a PRS so I should be able to get a good comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amccallister Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 I got the stock today and got it installed. I'll try to do a write up tomorrow, but I think it's a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Saw a few of them at the 3GN Qualifier. Looked like they worked really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amccallister Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Ok, so here are my thoughts on this stock. The fit and finish on this thing is really good. It looks as good as anything Magpul puts out. It is very light weight, as it is made almost entirely from glass filled nylon. There is very little metal in it, basically just the hardware for adjustments. That being said it feels sturdy, I don't think durability will be an issue. The cheekpiece is adjustable vertically (of course) and also horizontally, which I thought was pretty interesting. The basic adjustments on both the cheek piece and butt pad are tool free via knobs on the right side, and additional adjustments can be made with an Allen key, which is included (actually attached to the stock in a very secure clip). CJW is correct, there is no cast adjustment. I really like the width of the cheek piece, it's much wider than the one on the PRS and allows for a good cheek weld. The one thing I'm not crazy about is the cheek piece only attaches on one side of the stock and wraps around the comb, which allows some flex if you grab it and twist. I didn't find it noticeable when shouldering it fast from port arms, only when I actually grab the cheek piece. Overall I think this is a viable option for a serious 3-gun rifle, particularly if weight is an issue. I like it at least as well as my PRS, and it's way lighter. Here are some pictures comparing the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 amccallister, do you run offset irons on your rifle? Once you set the cheek piece up for your normal strong-side mount to scope, I would be curious to know whether you could easily roll to offset irons or get a scope sight picture on the weak-side shoulder. My previous (admittedly limited) experience with cheek pieces has suggested that both of those applications get a little more difficult with a riser in place. Thanks!

I did try switching to my left shoulder today and didn't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45shooter Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 We got some in the shop. Very nice and solid feel. I may have one on my rifle soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachvu Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I really liked the Luth-AR Stock, but it wouldn't quite go short enough for me...damned T-Rex arms getting in the way of a good stock at a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry weeks Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 zachvu: look at the TacMod stock. I have short arms and it adjusts far enough down for me. Cheekpiece and butt plate that can be rotated, adjusted for length. Not cheap. Designed by the AMU guys and sold by the same group that sells their Sierra 7 bipod. Both products used by Daniel Horner and Tyler Payne to win the Army Sniper Challenge. Brownells carries the Sierra 7, we haven't decided on the stock yet.

Graham Smith Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I use the PRS for target shooting and the extra weight isn't a problem, in fact it's an advantage. But this looks interesting for 3-gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShooterSteve Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I even like the way the bottom is nice and flat so you could use it in a PRS type application. Looks like it would ride a bag pretty good or work with a soft bag. I have a PRS on my 308 and it has a little cover on the bottom for the rail, and it is always sliding off and is a pain in the butt. One day I'm going to lose it and then I'll have a bare pic rail to ride a bag with, which will just plain stink. You will have to keep us updated as you use this thing some and let us know how it does. Very interesting concept there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
