2 years after announcement, and a year on backorder.... the stock arrived!
before:
after:
That bipod mounted on a rail section is just for the photos, I've since replaced it with a proper mount that's nice and solid.
Took it to the range and using my 77gr handloads I was getting 3 shot group averages of.... 0.55" at 100 yards. Seems awesome, until I looked at the last data I had from 2021 which shows 3 shot group averages of... 0.50" at 100.
So at first I was bummed, I mean this stock is so much more rigid than the OEM it should nullify some bad technique and give me some improvement. Then I realized that I hadn't actually done any 'precision' shooting since 2021, so after over a year of not doing it somehow my skill has not degraded much at all? I think the stock is helping and groups should go down just a touch with practice. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself to justify keeping it.
