I pretty much always run mine 2 clicks out for fully collapsed...  Wait, no, I always run mine 2 clicks out.

How many stock clicks away from fully collapsed you prefer when shooting iron sights.

3 clicks out, NTCH

I run a Sully stock so I cannot vote.

How many lick's till i reach the candy center-mass?

I use a 4 position CAR stock since it fits my shoulder nicely (and it's lighter and costs less).  I am one click out with nose to CH for irons or aimpoint.  It's about 8 3/4" from receiver to butt.  (I have a medium build)

Just use what's comfortable to you.

Thoes are pretty cool, 120 bones though? I thought they were cheaper than that.

There are 2 different kinds of carbine receiver extenstions.  6 position, and 4 position.  So this variable must be accounted for or your poll data will be skewed.

As well as 5 pos.  I just figured most people shot close to closed.

My stock doesn't click....unless you run over it with a truck.

My stock doesn't click either. My stock is fully extended and my nose is to the charging handle. I find the standard M4 stock to be a bit on the short side fully extended.

My CTR only has three clicks out - and I usually shoot with it fully extended.  I put my nose to the charging handle.

Same here. I have an M4 upper on an A2 lower with an A2 stock. I've never been comfortable with a collapsable stock.  

That being said, nose to the charging handle for me when using iron sights.  My Dad taught me how to shoot small-bore early on in life, so I naturally get my eye as close to the aperture as I can. I've taught my kids the same.

whatever feels comfortable for you. I'm out 2, but pick what feels comfortable.

87 of course.



Really though?  I usually go 5 or 6.

Nose to charging handle. Stock is at 5 clicks in all positions (standing, kneeling, sitting, prone).

how can I keep my nose on the charging handle when I'm blading like a mofo, adrenaline dumping and yelling "I AM USING MY IRON SIGHTS, YOU WILL NOT TOUCH MY COLLAPSIBLE STOCK"

2, NTCH, even with an optic sometimes out of habit

Depends if I am shooting at small targets long range I use a traditional Offhand shooting stance I run the stock all the way out.  If I am shooting squared up to the target and at a fast paced IE deffensive stance I put the stock on the 2nd click.

IF you find the stock to long your'e shooting with a traditional offhand shooting line stance.

0,1, or 2 clicks at max, but always nose-to-charging-handle.

Fully extended, my nose is NOWHERE near the charging handle, i find it easier to get the front post centered, and i find myself more accurate.

This for me.  Depends entirely on what I'm doing.  Precision rifle in prone it's all the way out.  Very close in when I'm doing a shoot and move carbine course.


Link Posted: 11/3/2009 7:29:52 PM EDT
[#50]
That depends on how I'm shooting.  2 clicks for up close and moving the rifle around.  More for shooting from the bench.  I'm a tall guy (6'4").
