What rifle is missing stock options?

Writing to revive thread in hopes stockys won’t forget about all of us lol. Ruger American Gen 2, short and long action. It’d sell like hotcakes for sure.

Well, mdt, indian creek, sharpe's and others make chassis for them.

I messaged them in regards to the RA initially in October of 2023.
Got a response that they had at one time made a VG2 and may again at some point.
Messaged again in July of 2024 with no response.
They haven’t engaged in this thread since May of this year.

I’ve chopped up my factory sticks to work for now.
In the future I’ll either get a Boyd’s to modify (which I’ve had issues with in the past) or deal with the weight of a chassis.

All this to say IMO I hope your not waiting in one.

I’ve been specifically looking at the Indian Creek Designs.

Boyds stock isnt what I would call light either.

Agree.
Some of them looked like they had some spots that could be trimmed.
But the last time I dealt with the them the QC was lacking a lot

Good news is that its just plywood. Cut/carve/bondo etc as you please.

That’s my thought.

Grab a Pro Varmint or Quest and do what I need to.

Quest is less than $200 with new bottom metal and trigger guard for the AR15 mags.

Finally had a chance to put together a Ruger G2 for the nephew. I must state the factory stock is an abomination of engineering. I can’t believe they considered it a good design. Clearly no one at Ruger actually test shoots their rifle or ever considered removing the action.

@Stockys if you are listening. Please fix rugers mistake and preferably with an AICS bottom metal

That's what I have on my 6.5g predator.

Keyword there, chassis, not everyone wants a chassis for hunting purposes, I would say actually most don’t. A VG2 offered in SA and LA would sell like crazy. Especially since most offerings are not only chassis systems, but SA only as well.

 

[nvHUNT3R]

Oh, and doesn’t weigh 3-4 pounds.

Did you ever weigh the chassis? Meaning chassis, forearm and buttstock?
Curious how heavy that is. Thanks.

 

[BLJ]

And I’ll agree with @nvHUNT3R that I don’t really want a chassis, that’s just where I’m at.

Did you look at this?

Refreshing this thread and looking for some suggestions. We've been backed up in engineering but we do have some new models coming out. OEM development took up a lot of our resources and time but we're getting down to the bottom of the list. Summer is usually the more convenient time to do R&D and new models due to it being the "off season".

First will be for the Ruger 10/22. We decided to start with a shorter LOP and will be supplying LOP spacers with the stock. This way the youth model could be easily converted to an adult LOP. The mold is done and we will be laying stocks up soon. I'm hoping they can get inlet finalized and inventory on the shelf for July availability.

Now here is where we need to hear from you! We need to figure out which model stock/inlet to work on next. I know Ruger 77s are currently at the top of the list but what model stock are you looking for? Any other inlets that you want to see? Let me know!

Cva Cascade - currently no one makes stocks for these besides Boyd’s.

I’m still begging for a vg for rem 600. Highly doubt thatll ever happen

 

[BLJ]

Did you look at this?

I did. Looks nice.

But my want all along has been for a bottom metal that takes AR15 mags.

I have a 223 and a 22ARC and I’d like to stay with that platform. It’s worked for me.
