At-One from Boyds?

Adjustability is there. But will the mechanics of the adjustments remain locked? As I understand it, McMillan had some trouble with their first adjustable cheekpiece but corrected the issue with a different locking mechanism. An uneducated guess, but I believe I'd rather go with a spacer system for LOP than a locking system.

I've been pondering changing from the thumbhole to something different. I have no experience with the asked about stock, but most shooters are now going to the vertical type pistol grip stocks.

I think it is ugly. I don't like stocks that look like they came from a star trek movie. Maybe it is just me.

They offer an optional beaver tail style fore end and optional pistol grip
. Reviews on lock up were good but like anything you never really know til you try it a while . I have a back pro varmint I guess if I decide I don't like the At One .

I never watched the star trek movies so I don't know much about the looks of stocks in them .

Yup, I seen what they offer. The pistol grip appears to be an add on. Most are going towards this type pistol grip:

I have a couple of stocks with adjustable LOP and Cheek Riser and I have to say they are really nice for when you come to bear off hand. As for the mentions of the vertical grip, I have come to find that is also a real plus when shooting off hand. It really helps to position your rear arm in a way that increases your comfort as well as accuracy. If you have ever shot one of the Pro Hunter Thompson Center models you would find this out for yourself. Of course this is only my opinion on the matter and others may find it different for their shooting styles. But I myself find that I shoot my AR's off hand a good bit better that my straight stocked rifles. If you could find one with the same adjustments and in a vertical grip that will fit whatever you are wanting to drop in it, I believe you just may find it may end up one of your favorite rifles to shoot off hand.
