Which AR Stock Have You Liked Using The Most?

[Pumacarl]

I know, stocks are a very personal thing. The thing is, as with all things, some really stand out. What AR stock have you used, that you got behind it and said, "wow, that's surprisingly nice!" It could be a dirt cheap no-name model to something high-end, but something that you actually used. I don't need it to be apocalypse tough or light as a feather either, just comfortable and accommodating. I have used plenty that work just fine but none that I've really loved either. This will be going on a gun that will only be shot off of a tripod with a light neutral touch. It won't be getting reefed on, or thrown about. It won't ever see a sling either. I am just trying to find a comfortable model to setup get behind and wait for a while. I don't want to have to do all the chin stretches and bobbing my head up and down a couple of times and placing my cheek just-so, every time I take a shot. Just a slide up to an easily repeatable spot and shoot. To have this I realize that the adjustments will either have to be really good, or the stock was designed really well for the average face. So if you've used an AR stock in the past that you thought worked really well I'd appreciate hearing about it.

I don’t know much about ar stocks but if you can find 1 with adjustable cheek and butt pad you should be good. You might want to try a replacement stock thats already on a gun that has these features and is ar style fitment if you can’t find 1 by itself

Doubtful that I'll talk to any retailer, though I do follow what sells. Things get popular for a reason. Sometimes it's a good reason and other times it's for reasons I don't care about. I have not read any discussions on these stocks besides people saying to just spend the money on something like the C-6 you posted above, or at least a Gen3 Magpul at the low end. That's not bad advice at all for a well made product but I am looking for ergonomics too, not necessarily the best. An example of what I mean, would be a Boyd's SS Revolution stock for a 10/22. There are much "better" chassis designs that cost a boatload more and are super adjustable, and yet, that Boyd's is the most comfortable stock I've ever used. That's why I'm asking the question of which one that you like actually using the most, not what's the best or which one do you just want. Maybe there isn't one, that's why nobody talks about it. Figured I'd ask.

It just seemed to me that if the 2 points that you contact with the stock were adjustable you could find your happy place.

Plenty of things can fit and not be comfortable; a new pair of jeans, footwear like ski boots or rock climbing shoes, helmets. They all feel right just standing there, when sized correctly, but when you start using them you can't wait to get out of them by the end of the day. It's more than just position or placement, it's also about texture and materials used that touch your face and how they're sculpted or not. Sometimes products end up being better than people expected for one reason or another and that's what I am interested in finding out. There are diamonds in the rough out there for everything and with the internet we can all share them when we find them. It is good for something.

Two points of contact are only two factors in AR designs we need to consider. If it was that simple, ANY poor company submission could be a top seller!

Looks like I nailed it!
