Marketing hype (inaccurate though it may be) aside, we’ll see if the competitive community embraces this stock, let alone their extremely expensive rifles. The Tubb 2000 and the Eliseo chassis systems seem to be highly adjustable, along with various Anschutz, Feinwerkbau, and Walther stocks, to name just a few. And how many shooters consider an adjustable cheek and LOP to be sufficient, e.g. as readily available from McMillan? Many thousands.

What’s so different that they got a patent for it? Kydex copy for the cheekpiece, adj butt plate and adj LOP. How do you patent a screw?

Editor: Note that the stock also rotates in the wrist section, just behind the tang, so you can change your grip angle, swinging it to the left or right of the trigger-guard.

Why present a press release that has a claim which, on its face, can’t be verified when the press release is issued?
