It's been awhile since I was last here, but am wanting to get some additional info/opinions on these two stocks.  I have done a site search and have read what is available, but would like your thoughts before I buy.  Thanks!!

I'm a big fan of the SOPMOD primarily due to the improved cheek weld which the RAT at least partially emulates.

If you look in the Mk18/CQBR and BLK II threads you will see lots of SOPMODs.

I had a LaRue RAT stock, but I ended up returning it. Very well made stock and interesting design, but it wasn't for me. I ended up getting a B5 Enhanced SOPMOD, and I love it. If you don't need the storage, the B5 SOPMOD Bravo stock is about half the price of the Enhanced while retaining the great cheek weld.

Can you help me understand what you did not like about the RAT?  Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback.  I have used the SOPMOD but have not even seen the Larue RAT in person.  Would you happen to know if the LMT SOPMOD "tan" is similar to FDE?  Thanks!

To be honest, a lot of it came down to aesthetics. I also found the SOPMOD to be more comfortable. And, although I don't use the storage tubes, I found them to be more versatile than the RAT stock's "storage" (the cleaning kit you can store in the stock). This is all personal preference. YMMV.

I have both, I like both, but I prefer my SOPMOD.  The rat is cool in that it has the cleaning kit, but the cheekweld on the SOPMOD is just a little bit better.
