I see a lot of builds on here with Luth-AR stocks. I currently have a Seekins Precision 6.5CM with a PRS on it but I have most of the components to build a second 6.5CM (possibly for my dad or brother). Anyone have one of each and would care to give the pros and cons of each?
As for my experience with the PRS, I haven't adjusted either the comb or length of pull since the first time I set up the rifle. |

The answer is VLTOR.

The answer is VLTOR. Amen to that. My IMOD has seven telescoping positions using the buffer system VLTOR made for the Marines. The PRS is much heavier than the Luth AR, much heavier. My PRS has also not been adjusted, in part because it ended up on a rifle that's a safe queen. The whole thing got too darn heavy. |

I have a LuthAR. I would like to replace it with a PRS gen3. I'm not really worried about weight on this build.

I like the adjustment system of the PRS. I used to have a PRS on a different build. The cheek adjustment has less flex and the length adjustment also feels more sturdy. The new one adds the adjustable butt plate as well.

The new one adds the adjustable butt plate as well. I agree with this assessment. The LUTH-AR cheek piece is rather flexible and also cumbersome to change. Dials on the PRS are much nicer for quick adjustments. However, LUTH is about 1/2 the price of the PRS if you do your shopping. |

I have both and they are both good
PRS gen 1 Pros Easy solid and repeatable adjustment Solid constuction and can take a beating Cons Very heavy Very expensive Original butt pad is very thin and needs to be updated with anything bigger than .223 Luth-AR Pros Half the weight of PRS Half the price of PRS Holds adjustments Cons Not as solid as PRS (you probably can't butt stroke someone to death with it  )
Adjustments require tools and take longer but once I get it set I leave it alone I haven't tried the new PRS yet it might be the best of both worlds |

XLR Tactical AR Buttstock is the answer you seek. I have a PRS on another rifle and like it OK but its heavy. The XLR is far lighter than the PRS and has more adjustment then the PRS or Luthar. Its very well built. I am very pleased and will eventually swap my PRS on my predator gun for another XLR. This one below is on my light weight long range stalker.

You can't start from zero since you need a stock on the rifle
An A2 weighs 24oz PRS 27oz adds 3oz to the rifle Luth 20oz you lose 4oz from the rifle 7 ounces doesn't sound like much till you put it on the rifle I just looked up the PRS gen 3 27.8oz
It's heavier than the original |

I'm going back with the PRS since there is a sale on FDE models for $159. I have a spare rifle and carbine buffer tube laying around, but which springs and buffer weights should I be looking at?

6.5CM Aero lower if that makes any difference.

Then I would get an Armalite 308 rifle buffer and Sprinco red spring.

I just got one. I would only choose it over a PRS for weight savings. It's not bad but it's not as good. Make sure you get the rubber butt pad for it. If not your left with the absolute worst possible material. Just hard sharp plastic edges. I may switch to a B5 to save 10ounces. I'll drop my scope height a little and see if it's decent without the Luth. Weight on this one is 18.5 ounces.

Nice looking stick, what suppressor is that?
Here are my two 6.5 Creedmoor guns. I put the LuthAR on my backup gun.

Crux AXE. Titanium and lightweight. 6" long and 9oz. I have 3 of their cans. All rated to 338 Lapua. Lightweight was the theme for this. Carbon fiber barrel, etc. I had the sig tango 6 but it's a little heavier than it needs to be. ADM sent me the mount so I'm using it but titanium rings would save a few more ounces.

I think the Luth and the PRS serve different purposes for me and that is how they balance out the gun. The PRS is great for builds that have a heavy bull barrel ( 20"-26") sitting out front by adding more weight to the rear. Granted these builds are shot from a rest of one sort or another but a good balance lends to better stability even from a bench. I like the Luth on more mid-range type builds like the 18" build shown below. That is my carry rifle for predators. The balance of that gun makes it very shootable off hand when I need it to.
I like both stocks but each have their pro's and con's. Luth AR Pro's Weight and adjustability. I like the adjustability better than the PRS. It is more adjustable and the increments are finer. Scope and rings placement is less critical to get a good fit, proper eye relief and nice cheek weld. Con's Less rigid than the PRS and adjustments are a bit more involved to make. Some even need a Allen wrench. PRS Pro's A lot more rigid More easily adjustable than the Luth and can be quickly done with no tools Con's Less adjustable than the Luth. Scope and ring placement more critical for a good fit, proper eye relief and cheek weld

Do any of these stocks interfere with the charging handle? Some of you guys like Vltor but I didn’t see a precision model. The XLR AR stock is looking like a candidate.

It's only a bit heavier than the XLR but I like the slopes bottom better than previous generations and the ability to adjust without tools is very nice. It also just has a mire solid feel to me than the XLR did. The PRS gen 3 does not interfere with the CH at all. |

The PRS isn’t working for me, I’m exchanging it for the UBR. Someday I’ll have this thing dialed in.
