    The reason I don't use the MOE fixed is that it's too long... but that's a good thing for an AR with a scope.
    Dead on! Plus it was compliant with existing laws at the time.

    Your LOP will change with your clothing. The LOP relative to the weapon will not change, but the LOP relative to you will.

    Nothing wrong with just wanting it to want it. I'm just staying the adjustable stocks will adapt to the situation better*.

    This is true, I can't argue with the fact that and adjustable stock being more versitile. But I guess thats just not as important to me for this rifle.

    And unfortunately I live in a town that is nicknamed the "icebox" of the lower 48. So when I'm going coyote hunting I'm almost always wearing the same down coat.

    I appreciate the input though!

    No, it's because when it's eight shades of cold out there, placing your cheek against the bare metal of the receiver extension can be quite the jolt! Quite a few guys hunt coyotes in the winter, butt deep in snow.

    There is an advantage to having a stock with an adjustable LOP but the only way I've found to keep my face off the bare metal of the RE, even while wearing thick clothing, is to use a fixed stock or an UBR

    I get it. I'm from Michigan. I personally hunt with a face mask so I've never had that issue except for on the range during the winter, but I keep my face on the stock- not the RE tube. I set my eye-relief so that I'm not doing that stupid ass nose-to-charging handle Army crap

    ok I'm weird - I prefer a rifle stock for going prone behind glass too.

    I could get by with an A5 (it can actually give a longer LOP) but the A2 rifle system seems really smooth on a midlength. don't need no steenkin' compensator...
    never push a wrench...
