Call me crazy but I am putting another collapsable stock on it.
Why put a collapsable stock on a precision rifle?
1st reason: I go on several prairie dog shoots a year. My main rifle is a Cooper Montana Varminter bolt action rifle with a AAA Claro walnut stock. We shoot mostly on private ranches using rests from the top of a truck. This year we plan on spending one or two days hiking off of my friend's property onto public shooting land. We will climb fences, etc to get where we need to go. I prefer not to bang up my $2500 Cooper rig so I picked up this upper. I will hump this RRA rig around a little bit so I prefer not having a long A2 stock on it. A collapsable stock in the lowest postion will make it a little more compact for climbing and such.
2nd reason: I know that my wife and 8 year old son are going to want to shoot it also. The LOP on most fixed stocks are too long for them to get comfortable.
3rd reason: Using the CTR-N is my 3rd reason.....I don't want to have to remove the existing buffer tube. It took an act of God on my last attempt to swap out to a mil-spec tube on a RRA.
I think the MagPul CTR-N, which I hear is rock solid with zero rattle/looseness inherent to many collapsable stock, will work well for all my needs on this rifle. I do subscribe the old adage "build the rifle around the shooter, not the shooter around the rifle".
Here is the toy ......should have MagPul stock by the weekend.
The mount is a LaRue SPR. The scope is a Leupold VX-III 8.5-25x50mm Long Range Target (30mm tube).
