Just wish it wasn't $299 |
|
I hope it comes in around $225 or less. I'd like to know the length of the barrel of the rifle in the picture. I don't think it looks quite right, almost too short for the stock. Does anyone have experience with the Remington 700 stocks by Magpul?
|
|
Judging by the thickness of the barrel, threaded muzzle and the Pmags its using, I would guess that it is an American Predator 308, 18". One of them is on my short list after how impressive my American Ranch 223 has been. I plan on picking up 2 of the magpul stocks once they are released! Love the magpul stock on my 1022, and the 700 stocks are a nice compromise IMO between the usually crap factory stocks and and an all out expensive replacement from the likes of B+C, McMillan, HS Precision, etc...

The Remington stock is $259 without the mag well/ magazine, the ruger includes both, so $299 makes sense I guess. Does seem to be geared towards the 308 rather than any short action. Wonder if they'll eventually do a long action.
|
|
I want one for my 300 BO.
Anything to put a few more rounds in the mag. |

I have a Ranch in 300BLK.
How does the ACIS mags work with the smaller cartridge diameter like 300BLK & 556? I am lost on this. |

See some other magazines for 223 that are 10 round and $40. Not sure what other AICS magazines might be around. Assuming it works. |

I am looking forward to the release of this stock for my ranch in .300 blackout. The magazine that comes with the RAR is absolute junk and the stock isn't much better. MDT makes AICS .223/.300 compatible 10 round magazines. I think the rifle in the Magpul photos it a ranch .
|
|
I also have a Magpul hunter on my Remington 700 police. I actually like it better than the HS Precision stock that it came with. I love the ability to change the lop for individual preference .
|
|
I'm patiently waiting for them to manufacture a hunter stock for the mini 14.
|
|
|
I'm debating on whether to throw all of my Americans in these. It'd be nice to ditch the cheap mags and run just about all of my bolt guns off of AICS magazines
|

I phoned Magpul about 3 weeks ago to ask if they had any idea when a left handed "Hunter" stock would be available for my R.A.P. in 6.5Cm. I was told the right handed versions due 'late 2017' would likely be on the market Q1-2018.
The young woman I spoke with had no idea if/when a lefty would be produced so I suggested that my request for one be the first 'vote' to do so. She chuckled but offered no promises. |
|
A lot of folks have been awaiting the availability of the Magpul stock for the Ruger American. Its coming soon, and 2:05 in this video made me laugh. :)

Too late, too many broken promises.
I'm glad that they think broken promises are funny but I don't. I bought two MDT RAP stocks last month and will never look back. |
|
If I based my purchases on release dates I would ALWAYS be disappointed.
For the price the Hunter Stock will no doubt be the best...for the price. |
|
I wonder if Ruger changing mag platforms will mess with these stocks. I hope not.

I was wondering the same thing and if this is why the stocks haven't been released yet. They should still sell either way. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I hope that the mag change and delay means that I can benefit from the change when it finally does come out. I'm ready either way.

Ruger offers a synthetic stock for their Gunsite Scout Rifle for considerably less than the abovementioned stocks: http://shopruger.com/Ruger-Scout-Synthetic-Stock/productinfo/90574/.
Three points about this particular stock: 1) If you are using iron sights, or a properly-mounted Scout scope, the syn stock already has the correct cheek piece rise; no need for adjustment unless one wishes to mount a conventional scope with an extraordinary large ocular bell. 2) The GSR stock is internally reinforced to accept 3 sling swivel studs, thus allowing use of a Ching sling. 3) The innards of the buttstock are accessible, allowing stowage of spare parts, cleaning supplies, and anything else desired. This also allows the user to change the balance point of their rifle to suit them. That particular stock is just fine by me for its' intended purpose. I bedded the action using Brownell's Steel Bed compound, and it is much more accurate than I am. For my Mini-14, and 10-22, I prefer the stainless steel Butler Creek stock, bedded, of course, although that option might not be open to some. I doubt that I will replace the syn stock on my RAR .22RF, because it has snap-in cheek risers and the length of pull is likewise easily adjusted. Given those attributes, it's hard to justify the presumably considerable expense of a fancier stock that dues much the same thing. I'll probably bed the action, though. YMMV. |

I'm looking at getting a Ruger American Predator in 308, and would like to have the option to get the Magpul stock later. Does it make a difference if The Ruger is the version with the rotary mag (#06974) or the 3 round AI-style mag (#26974)? Will this stock fit both and allow the use of the Magpul mags?

Any signs of these in the wild yet??? View Quote Don't imagine I could be lucky enough to have them mold that stock with indications in it where I could dremel out the recess for my Predator's left handed bolt, after all this waiting either, huh? Probably too much to expect. Southpaws are still under-appreciated in today's world of CNC, CAD, easy reverse imaging, etc. Sometimes it sucks to be right handed and left eye dominate. |

They're too busy making bipods and clothing to finish up the Ruger stocks

I preordered via Brownells 6 months ago... like an idiot. I don't think anything is happening with these now that they are redesigning around the updated Ranch rifles.
|
|

Really, for that price they can't at least include one of their AR stocks? Seriously, that is a rip off.

On their Instagram Post about the new 700 Pro stock, lots of people asking about the American Stocks, and they reponded to most of them saying "this month".
