I'm working on an AR Grendel build. I haven't decided on the barrel yet. Shooting will be from a bipod and rest. I'm trying to decide on a Magpul PRS gen3, XLR AR stock or a stock from a Ruger PRS. Easy adjustment is not a priority because I'll fit it to me and leave it alone. Adjustable cant is a must have option. Any opinions? I'm leaning towards the XLR, but I haven't found many reviews.

I ended up with the a RPR stock and a PRS. The RPR just didn't do it for me and I sold it for a nice profit. I got a sweet deal on the PRS and even though the weight sucks, I'm not hunting with it so it's not a big deal. I was able to easily get it adjusted for my natural point of aim very quickly and it seems indestructible. The cant and height adjustable buttpad is one of those things you'd never think you'd need until you try it.

I've never seen an xlr stock in person, but from the pics, $225 is a joke and it's fugly. The prs is a little heavy, but looks better and can be found for less.

The XLR looked goofy till I tried it. I ended up loving it. And it’s very sturdy.

I’m leaning towards a luth AR stock for a similar application. Quite a bit lighter than a prs.

I've used PRS stocks on all of mine and all very satisfied with them. The weight doesn't bother me as the rifles were built heavy. The XLR looks interesting, but there is a lot of open spaces and exposed rods and supports exposed. Seems these could get caught out hung up on a lot. When I first saw the LuthAR, it looked goofy and flimsy to me but according to most reviews I am mistaken and is quite sturdy. The Ruger also looks interesting, but like the XLR there's enough open areas with rods and edges exposed the possibility of it getting hung up on things makes me wonder.

I have a XLR Tactical Lite on a bolt gun. A RPR with its factory stock and a PRS that I recently sourced for a new build. The XLR is a set and forget stock. The RPR has a good adjustment range but, takes a little bit to get the hang of. The PRS is the easiest to use out of the three.

Remember, the PRS GIII weighs 2 1/4 lbs... alone.
I love mine... but realistically, a standard A2 would work just as well... and lighter. |

PRS is the most user friendly, no tool adjustment.
