stockys vg vs peak 44 bastion

[bnsafe]

hey guys, is the peak 44 worth the wait and extra money vs stockys? I have a regular stockys but not the vg so worried about grip to trigger everyone talks about. does the bastion have that issue. its alot of money difference and big wait time.

Following. I'm in the exact same boat.

The reports of stockys stocks having inconsistent fit is what keeps me from buying one. It may or may not be a big thing but everything I’ve read on them has been like warm, not horrible but not great. The peak44 seems to be very high quality though, there’s a guy on rokslide who has several of them.

I’m personally leaning towards a peak44 and havnt been looking at stockys anymore.

I am OK running Stocky’s and dealing with the minor issues and design. Lots of my cheap buddies have them too. I have dropped most in and run with them. I also just run Sendero profile on everything, so there is that.

But, the Bastion is going on my main gun that I am getting from @NSI. You are paying for improved ergo and quality. If you want it right, get the Bastion.

Bastion all day. Better ergos, better fit and finish. I have (had) both. The Stockys is cheesy by comparison.

Bastion fit a finish is far superior to Stockys. You will need to bed the bastion recoil lug. Not so with the Stockys. If you don’t mind tinkering and carbon fiber sanding dust go Stockys. I would order both. Sell the one you’re not happy with and you won’t lose more than 10% of the cost.

Earlier this week I had to bed a recoil lug in a Stockys. It was loose from the start and would fall out. It's the only one I needed to do that on though.

Bastion for me

Night and day comparison. One is a top quality, high end stock with attention to detail. The other is cost effective and none of the above.

sounds good, thanks for the input guys. appreciated

I have no experience with the Stockys but I was pleasantly surprised by the fit, finish and overall quality of my buddies new Bastian. It reminded me of a Clymer a bit which I'd argue is a big compliment.

Bastion for me

Hey I just joined Rokslide today so it won’t let me comment on classifieds or send PMs. I’m interested in your SG chilkoot. If it’s still for sale can you PM me. Thanks

I've had both. I tried the Stocky's VG first, I actually liked everything about it except the grip is FAT and a bit short, and I've got small hands. Sent it back. Bought a Bastian, the grip is much better on it. Problem with that one is that you can't change the recoil pad, as far as I know, if that's something you might consider in the future. From a QC standpoint, I think the Bastian was better but that's no shade on the Stocky's. It was perfect too. Maybe it was just the grip feel.

Having said that, I've gotten three traditional style carbon fiber 2nd's from Stocky's in the last 4 weeks, and they are barely 2nds. No raw exposed areas in the fiber work, just little cosmetic marks that will disappear under paint and texture. The length of pull is a tad longer than I would prefer but I can deal with it for the price. I like these quite a bit for how I hunt and shoot.
