[Ryan Avery]

A. Standard forend?
B. Scalloped forend?

This is going to be fun! Especially if we go element by element! Love it.

Well yes and no. Form still needs to be leading the way on this almost entirely IMO. I want his version of a perfect hunting stock, because I don’t know what I don’t know and so far everything I’ve implemented per his advice has been gold.

Is this just the profile so one can mount the rail or will it actually come with the rail? I would rather keep the accessories off and the weight down.

This will help get group by in. Don’t think they will let any of the functional elements be decided on that will make it less shootable.

This. Design via committee or through the voice of many is sometimes the path to mediocrity.

just the profile you will be able choose with or without hardware.

 

[Ryan Avery]

Form, Jake and I have this 98% there. Just a few details like this to nail down.

 

[Ryan Avery]

We plan to have this up and shipped in 90 days. So buckle up.

Make it long enough for the short spartan adapter
Alterras flush (scalloped) forend is too short

As long as its not adding much weight to have the material there for a strong enough attachment, I'll go B, but if in the design it picks up a half pound without the rail for some reason (like a backing plate and the material to reinforce it) I'd go with A.

 

[DangerRanger]

My stocks have always had the pic rail sitting out ready to grab shit so I’ve always envied B setup

Anybody that voted A want to learn me why I’m wrong?

*I do plan to buy either way

I see zero reason not to allow for a recessed rail (scalloped).

Without a recessed rail, the only flush-ish bipod allowance is a spartan adapter. Pics that aren't recessed absolutely suck to hunt with, and catch on everything.

I understand why a center mass ARCA is controversial. But not this.

I'll admit I was a bit torn on this choice. I don't use a bipod, so I voted A. If I did use a bipod, though, I'd want the scallop, to keep the barrel as close to the apex of the triangle as possible.

But like @Helislacker said, I really don't know what I don't know.

 

[Gonewest]

I love the scalloped design and the ability to add accessories AND keep it snag resistant!! Make it as close to a Gunwerks Clymer stock as possible.

 

[Helislacker]

that said, scalloped is nice if you want to shoot a field match with your hunting gun with bipod. It makes sense to have it on a modern hunting rifle if there are no other drawbacks.

 

[Marshfly]

B if weight is kept low. By low I mean about a half pound off a stock Tikka stock. Like the Stockys guy said, adding all of this stuff adds weight due to having to strengthen everything up with more material.

I voted B, but I really like a Blaser or AI type spigot mount.

 

[woods89]

What about a solution like the hook on the bottom of a KRG Bravo? Sell it with the scallop and sell a filler for those who want a smooth forend.

Maybe that's a terrible idea, I don't know.

 

[ElPollo]

I like the flat bottom fore end on B better, especially if it is straight from the mag well as opposed to tapering. You want this thing to recoil straight back off a bag or pack. The scallop is secondary, but allows for the addition of a pic rail if you want it or need it.
