So I am in the market for a new stock/chassis for my Savage. I've been eyeing up al ot of the chassis that utilize AR style stocks. Don't really like my AR style stocks out there since most of them offer no cheek height adjustments, except the Magpul PRS, but it is heavy and bulky. KRG's 180 Chassis is nice, but definitely spendy. I have their W3C coming this week for my R700, so if I really like it I might consider the 180.
I have also been eyeing up the Ruger Precision Rifle and looked closer at the stock to see how it functioned and noticed that Ruger are using what looks like a standard Carbine buffer tube. Can anyone verify that information? Any idea if Ruger intends to release the stock as a stand alone system for those who want to upgrade their ARs? Personally, I would love to add one to my LR308. Would be a huge upgrade over the UBR I am currently using. |

Correct on the carbine tube. I really like this stock's adjustment, especially the cheekpiece, you can flip it around to accommodate standard AR charging handle operation. But the can't isn't much, if that matters. Right now Ruger isn't selling the stocks alone, there's too much demand for the rifles.
I would like to switch out for a PRS but my eye relief/LOP is close and the cheek piece doesn't come forward enough. The RPR stock is hair fine though. They pop up for sale every now and then on the ruger precision rifle Facebook page or Snipershide. |

I have been shying away from the Savage Chassis systems since most of them use proprietary stocks that look heavy and bulky. So the RPR seems like a good fit. Same issue with my LR308. The UBR is heavy and personally would like more adjustability out of it. **Found someone willing to dump their stock on Snipers hide! So I will do a mock up on my LR308 to see how she fits. |

XLR offers stocks that are similar.

Absolutely. OP really needs to check into XLR Industries stocks. The cheek rest is adjustable up 'n down and forward and back. I chose the Element for my left handed FLCP-K a couple years ago, sold off the accustock and haven't looked back. The ergo's on the Element are very comfortable and suit me better than the accustock, as well. |

I am with you too, I have all three as well. They all have there purpose. But for a adjustable stock for a AR15. You just cant beat the Precision Ruger stock, with all of its functions. Plus the ease of changing them as well. People need to post more pictures. I know I sure am not alone on this ideal. Take care everyone.

How do you like the Luth stocks? I am contemplating getting one for the RPR. Would you say the Luth stocks are more like a middle ground of the RPR and PRS stocks? I ended up finding an RPR stock and put it on the AR and did not like it. |
