It's an A1 profile 20" with the front sight A frame shaved. I wanted a light weight rifle. This one of my ugliest guns but it shoots great.

Nice rig.
Is the case a small spotting scope, E caller, water bottle? |

Nope. He ran into some really thick stuff and I didn't recover him until the day after when I could get the dog out to help. Spent two hours looking for him after the shot and only found the one blood spot. Not how I wanted my first 300 BLK deer to go.

I see a lot of hunting ARs here with adjustable stocks. I figured a fixed A1 or 2 would be best for a hunting gun. Whats everybody's thoughts on why I must be wrong?

I like to use a collapsible stock to make the rifle a little more compact while walking with it (especially now with a can on the end). I also like to be able to adjust the stock length depending on the position I'm in. For example, with shooting sticks I collapse it a notch or two and if I shoot prone I have it extended.
I wouldn't hesitate to use an A2 stock if that's what I had on my AR. My Grendel will have a PRS stock on it and I'll probably bring it out hunting. |

View Quote What advantages do you think a fixed stock has over an adjustable stock? Fixed stocks, especially A2s are too long for a lot of people, and require a bladed stance when shooting off hand. An adjustable stock lets me keep the same length of pull no matter how thick my clothing is, and lets me shoot in a wider angle without moving my body. It doesn't matter as much if you are shooting prone, but why limit yourself? |

It doesn't matter as much if you are shooting prone, but why limit yourself? I dont know why I thought that really. Maybe it's just my experience with guns and hunting always involved non AR rifles with traditional style stocks. I didn't consider the adjustability advantages , especially when it comes down to LOP and thicker clothes. Think I may add a Magpul STR to my hunting AR I'm setting up. |

View Quote While I'm a big fan of collapsible stocks on fighting rifles (my primary has a VLTOR EMOD), my go-to predator hunting AR had an A2 stock for years. Recently I switched it to a Magpul STR and I couldn't be happier. |

I'm wondering about one last thing in regard to collapsible stocks on a scoped AR. How do you deal with cheek weld and its effect on eye relief when the stock may be at different lengths in different situations? A non issue?

View Quote You'll have some eye relief issues at some positions, most likely the farthest position and the closest, but between the 2 positions I use the most, it's a non-issue. |

I'm going to put a Magpul CTR on it and if I don't like it for the hunting gun I'll put my A1 fixed on it later. |

Post the story and pic in the birds with rifles thread in bird hunting so it is.

FWIW I wouldn't shoot that rifle too often with the front ring mounted off the receiver since it's not a monolithic. I'll be able to add some pictures in this thread when I get home in a few weeks.
