New Magpul 700 SA stock

[SeriousStudent]

I'm in.

Seriously, I just got home from work, and had decided this afternoon to buy a Mcrees Precision stock and a Magpul PRS. I'm holding off now for your new stock.

This should be very interesting. It will probably allow me to shift more money into the spotting scope I need.

Very cool, gentlemen. Although I am wondering - when you guys sleep??

What was the reasoning on not having a straighter pistol grip angle?

[Massoud]

The stock looks good, the grip angle is off in my opinion. There's been a strong positive response so far, is it because this is a product from Magpul or because you think it is better than the many other options for Remington stocks? If it is better, how so? It certainly is cheap (price not quality) but is there something else? The look perhaps? Thank you,

The grip angle is vertical enough to get proper hand placement/trigger finger alignment to shoot with proper form for the precision minded, but still maintains some sporter feel...it points and handles well and doesn't feel alien to the guy coming from a factory stock. It has great features and adjustable fit for the precision side of things, but also works well with a sporter barrel profile and throwing it up to your shoulder in timber. It's a compromise of sorts, but we spent a lot of time getting it right.

I think the grip angle was a bit of an "enduro" choice that might be bad for all kinds of shooters instead of just one kind and great for the other. However, I'm still throwing C notes at my phone. I've been wrong about Internet pics before.

Taekwondopreacher is right. What else can we expect? One thing I like about Magpul is they are always on the ball with releases. A teaser comes out and then the product is released to the masses. None of this "wait for SHOT. I promise it will be worth it" elitism that we get from other manufacturers.

I don't even own a Rem700, and I will buy one.

Same here... Looks like I will be buying a Rem 700 in 2015

It would be interesting if this stock was adjusted in the same manor as the PRS.

As someone who just got a 700 and wanted to improve it on a budget this came at a perfect time. I haven't been disappointed in a magpul product yet and I don't expect to be with this.

I'm very interested in this. It looks like it'll be a great way to make my R700 a little more "woods friendly" while keeping most of the features I like in a precision rifle stock.

We've got a pretty full staff of long gunners here, and we spent a lot of time on this grip, down to index points for thumb placement, etc. I think most will be pleasantly surprised.

I like the looks of it!

Will there be a long action version?

I know...I know...not everyone shoots 308. Some of us old dogs already had tons invested in the 30-06 round - boltguns and Garands and all and saw no reason to get anything in 308. The 30-06 drops deer and pigs like crazy,,,no need to get rid of it.

I have a nice old pawn shop rescue 700BDL in 30-06 that would be dandy in one of those stocks! LOL
