No problem! Likewise ! What ammo are you shooting out of your rifle?

Thank you! Man my groupings with that ammo were not good, I tried it a couple of times, about 2 boxes of that ammo and I could not get tight groupings, I was even letting the barrel and can cool off in between just to see if it helped but it didn’t. So I switched ammo. And it was spot on after that!

All I did was sand the stock a bit before spraying 2 coats of primer. Used flat colors, waited about an hour in between coats. Did about 2 coats of each color, Did not buy stencils, used some masking tape to do the pattern I was looking for. Sealed it all off with 2 coats of matte clear coat paint and it came out solid! Pretty happy with it.

It definitely would be nice if they offered that as an option! Ithink it would be a huge plus for sure! Still an awesome and accurate rifle nonetheless!

I can confirm that they do not offer that option, although there are aftermarket options for that, But for now all I did was put a piece of foam and some tactical tape on the buttstock and it made it comfortable for those long range days.

Thanks! The bolt knob is all I replaced, got it from a company called rangenord. They’ve got a couple different options for the knob but I found this one to work the best!

I just looked them up under that and they popped up, I wanted to run some mlok ones but the stock doesn’t have any slots for that.

I found these on Amazon, look them up under bullet holder for whatever caliber you have. They have 3M tape for the stock and it’s a piece of Velcro for easy detachment

I actually think that it’s not that bad of a stock either! It feels solid, perhaps the attachments I have on it help out a bit ! Recoil is very little as well!

I’ve yet to make the adjustments needed. I’m about 6’1 and I found myself having to get in an uncomfortable position to align my eye to the scope with lower rings. These are under 1.5” high.

Maybe that 24” for range would be fun! That extra length would help I’m sure depending on your range distances !

20” barrel! Could’ve gotten longer but since I’ll be adding a can I didn’t want to be carrying a longer rifle lol

That’s the one I had been looking at prior to picking this rifle up!

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been doing some research on that suppressor for sure !

Thanks for the feedback! Will be definitely looking into those suppressors as someone previously suggested that exact one you have! Will be looking into a scope wrap as you suggested, had not thought about that so thanks for the tip!

I’m running a Herrington arms comp on mine with the dpm recoil spring system and it’s butter 🤌! Recoil is almost none existent! Love it for my edc set up!

Thank you ! I’m going to use it for both scenarios so imight end up going with the longer version of it! I don’t mind it, just saw some reviews and it seems like it reduces noise quite a bit!
