Went to the range yesterday and tested out the new stock and H-buffer. I tried shooting in prone, kneeling and standing positions and also some rapid fire drills with facing changes. First of all, the stock feels very comfortable to use, the cheak weld is simply great in all positions. The cheak weld is easy to find when raising the rifle quickly, it just comes naturally. The only complaint I have is that the stock tends to come into contact with my Peltor earmuffs when it's fully extended and shooting in prone position. No big deal, shooting position is still good, but the buffer spring becomes quite audible.
The H-buffer changed the way the recoil feels. It's not as sharp anymore, it feels kind of dampened. I like it a lot. The rifle is now better balanced than ever before. The Ace ARFX stock was a little too light when the Aimpoint was mounted and the rifle felt front-heavy. The LMT Crane and H-buffer bring the center of gravity right around the magazine well, the rifle is so well balanced that I can easily aim and use it with one hand only if I need my left hand for some other task.
Two thumbs up for this stock, it's well worth the money!
