Ok here's my question, I've been trolling for a few days looking for some feedback on this thing, the CAA ARS Sniper Stock. When I first saw it, I thought yeah this is probably an exspensive gimick. But after looking into it for curiosities sake, I found the idea of the "Third Leg" had its advantages. So my question to you guys is, were my instincts right is it infact a piece of junk, or is it actualy worth the investment to increase stability and a few other things that it does? Just FYI I have a DPMS Lo Pro classic that i bought for paper punching and possibly cyote/Sagerats. It has the 16" bull barrel and I have ordered a Falcon Menance 4-14x44 FFP for it. and it has a Harris short bipod, thats it for the bells and whistles. If price is the only issue that you come up with don't worry about that, if its worth getting just for the improvement on stable shooting I can justifiy the purchase with the Commander and Chief of my house. What i'm hoping for is that the leg actually works, that the stock isn't going to fall apart or rattle or be genearly poor quality. If any of ya have used one/seen one/fondled one. Please let me know your $0.02. Thanks |

I don't get it. The monopod in the back has to be one of the worst ideas ever unless you're a bench shooter. We don't even use bipods, we use packs or sandbags to lower the rifle and ourselves to the ground as much as possible. With bipods and a monopod in the back, after the first shot the rifle most likely will not be on target anymore. How would one increase stability by raising his center of gravity? As though bipods weren't bad enough, now the stock is off the ground. I can't think of a worse shooting position

I'm with Duffy. I don't see how that "third leg" would benefit a shooter. In all the training I've been through the same thing is taught. Lower your center of gravity, get into a comfortable shooting position, and use something to stabilize your forend (i.e. sandbag). Whatever stock you have on your rifle, it should be firmly against you shoulder and not need any additional support. IMO it's just a gimmick. |

We're so low on the ground, the "toe" of the stock is pushing against the earth in recoil. With a firm cheekweld exerting down force, stock against the shoulder, and its toe either touching or almost touching the ground, the rifle (.308 bolt action in this case) hardly moves when in recoil, making follow up shots very easy and fast. Whenever I don't follow what I've been taught, the rifle will fly all over the place in recoil. The low down position is also comfortable, thus allowing you to stay in prone for a long time without undue fatigue. |
