    While I understand the disdain for "storage" in stocks, I prefer the extended cheek weld on the STR and SL-S, (and don't actually use the storage). Since I run all my AR optics (besides my SPR) at 1.93", that helps keep cheek contact with the stock in the more weird shooting positions, which is especially useful with raised magnified optics.

    The main point of the UBR is the ability to adjust length of pull without moving/removing your cheek-weld anchor point. For precision shooting this is a must. Almost all other adjustable AR stocks create a big hole where your face goes when you extend the length of pull. If you look at the rigs of the top shooters in service rifle competition almost all are using a UBR for that exact reason. Great for RECCE, SDM, or wherever you need high precision from an AR.

    • @haroldlee4037
      @haroldlee4037 Год назад +1

      If you are setting up a precision AR, you are probably using a magnified optic that will require a height-adjustable cheek piece. The UBR doesn't have one. And, you don't shoot a rifle with a magnified optic NOTCH, so there is no reason for your face to be that close to the receiver. The UBR is a terrible stock for a precision gun for these 2 reasons. I can see that Hop has a strong bias towards carbines and "dynamic shooting." The CTR makes a lot of sense in this role. But, for a precision rifle, the PRS and PRS lite are better stocks. Yes, they are heavy. Yes, they have a long LOP. Neither are detriments to a rifle set up for precision as opposed to dynamic shooting in a plate carrier.

    • @messinger123
      @messinger123 Год назад

      @@haroldlee4037 Height-adjustable cheek pieces don’t work on ARs because of the charging handle. You have to instead use an optic mount that places the optic centerline at the proper height for the shooter. Most of us shooting service rifle competition find that a mount with a 1.3” to 1.4” centerline height is perfect. Most common mounts are 1.5” (too tall). BTW, iron-sight height on the AR is about 1.35” above the rail (varies with elevation adjustment). Common 1.5” mounts are too tall for most for precision shooting. They’re better suited to CQB.

      @@messinger123 The PRS and PRS light stocks are LITERALLY built to incorporate adjustable cheek height in an AR platform rifle (as is the RISR from Larue, and the MBR stocks from LuthAR- among others). "Perfect height" is relative to face structure, and those with thin faces and "high cheek bones" may need additional height. And, if you are putting a scope with a 50+ mm objective on a rifle, a low mount won't necessarily clear the hand guard. I'm reminded that my use case is not everyone's use case. But, to say that one is objectively better than the other is either sarcasm, trolling, or grossly myopic.
      Here is a rifle I’m- very- familiar with, which employs a Magpul PRS stock, and the cheek riser certainly does not interfere with the charging handle.

    It's very interesting to see other perspectives. I chose a UBR specifically for my AR-10 DMR since it's a little more heavy for balance, yet maintains a static cheek weld and collapses for transport. Also, I actually store replacement batteries in there for my scope and pistol sight. It also has an integrated QD cup which isn't the greatest but has been working quite well so far.

Good weight, build quality, included QD sling points, tight with no rattle and an optional cheek riser. Which although not needed on ARs it can be nice to have on buffer tube stock non-AR type rifles. It feels like a worthy competitor to the Magpul CTR. I like and use them both, but for whatever reason Fab Defense doesn't have the same market penetration in the US.

      Agreed, I don't even use the storage compartments of the SL-S, but the wider profile/cheekweld of it lines up perfect for me with sight line. It's not terribly heavy either, maybe a couple ounces more than an SL. After years of testing different stocks, I put one on all my AR's heavy and light, and it is the best geometry for getting on target fast (for me).

    They BCM mod0 has been my favorite stock for a while now so if you care to know my reasons: It has a great profile for people with wide square heads like myself and actually allows for a decently heads up shooting position (slightly better than the CTR for me), It's the lightest stock that isn't fragile or rattly, but the primary reason for me, it has anti-rotational qd slots built in which is important to me when shooting in a plate carrier. One of the main things that messed with my shooting while I was active was my sling sliding behind my stock preventing me from getting enough contact with my shoulder to keep it as stable as I could without a sling in the way slowing down my follow up shots. We experimented with tape and paracord to try to get the right blend of range of movement without it sliding behind the buttpad but the BCM does that out of the box with an MS4. The CTR has that issue too although not quite as bad as an M4 stock. At work all our rifles have CTRs which are my second favorite stock but I get around that issue since we use the baseplate mount for our slings (MS3 gen2) anyways and usually in a single point configuration while actually shooting.
