I just picked up a Ruger American Predator in 6.5CM for a steal. There are much better shooters than I taking these things stock (with good glass) and marching them out to 1,000 yards and beyond. Since I am not that good (and don't plan on shooting near that far), I decided to give myself a little help and replace the semi flimsy OEM stock. I have come up with a few options:
Boyds sells pre-made featherlight thumbhole stocks on ebay for $192.04 (biggest con is no adjustable LOP for when hunting with heavy clothing)
Boyds sells their AT One stock for $201.32
The MDT LSS-XL GenII Chassis is $499.00 (this is really at the very end of my budget - maybe a tad over)
Now, if I go with a Boyd's stock, I would need to get it pillar and glass bedded, so that adds another $200 (I would want a pro to do it) and the LSS stock requires me to buy a grip and buttstock, but no bedding required.
Or should I just wait until Magpul releases the Hunter stock sometime next year?
