To all….


The stock is being designed for shooting- specifically field shooting with 7-9lb rifles.
There is no perfect stock- what is tailor made for standing offhand, will be compromised in every other position. Likewise what is tailored to slung prone, will be compromised in every other position. This stock is being tailored to field shooting with 7-9lb rifles (yes lighter and heavier is fine), from prone, sitting, kneeling- especially using improvised rests, I.E., backpack, hunting sticks, rocks, logs, etc. It is absolutely good in standing as well.


I have written many times about what a stock should be for field shooting and hunting- I haven’t deviated from that.

The morning has only just begun. I guarantee there will be 30 more posts today (at least) asking if it will work in such and such position. And another 30+ asking if pre-orders are open...

Looking forward to the final iteration and shooting with it.

Are those UM low rings?

How does this work off a tank trap, thanks

Awesome… I figured. But was hard to visualize in the previous pic.

Was good to set expectations on your post. It looks like the benefits of the stock counteracting muzzle rise are only fully realized in the prone position.

Im surprised no locals have run down to UM on the off chance they are playing with the stock there...

Alright I probably missed it, but why the chunky forend? Why couldn't it be parallel to the bore with an inset forend like an AG Chalk Branch, or to a lesser degree the ClymR?

Read the thread.

Stock vs Chassis for Field Shooting

This definitely isn't a new topic. There have been several threads vaguely covering preferences for hunting in different types of rifles, plus countless more on other forums. Most of those threads cover preferences, but I think there's more to the debate than mere opinion. My hope for this...

That ramp on the chalk branch from the front action screw to where it's actually parallel with barrel looks pretty terrible from shooting off improvised rests.

I will say so does the master sporter stock but it doesn’t appear to be an issue

Good point. And sako TRG, AI AT, etc.

What is that suppressor cover in the pic of Avery holding the 3d printed stock?

Bump for this, what are we looking at there? I like that its minimalist if it works.

I've shot the chalk branch on a Weatherby while prone and it wasn't horrible. The gun was slightly lower to the ground, but I thought it was a well designed piece otherwise. The reason(s) I opted not to buy one for a custom was the slight beavertail forend and the grip being almost too vertical.

That chalk branch is ugly as sin. I would almost rather put one of those ugly ass swagger bipods on my rifle, than carry a chalk branch around.

It does work, but it is not a commercial item.
