A5 configuration

[Paul H]

So I was to order an A-5 for my .223, what are the pro/s con/s of adjustable cheekpiece and butt pad vs just keeping it simple?

Only reason I can see for going adjustable is if multiple people will be using the rifle on a regular basis. Save that instance, I'm all about KISS.

It is not an A5 but here is a link to an A2 that is for sale.
I don't know anything aout the guy or the stock, just saw it on Brenchrest.com

by the way, simple works for me as well

I think the only real reason for the adjustable cheek pad is when using BIG scopes on ramped rails. I've got pards who are running 50mm NF scopes on 20MOA bases and they still don't need adjustable stocks USO scopes prolly do however.

Angry has it right, at least in my case. I ordered the adj piece thinking I'd need it. Instead, it's screwed tightly down. My other A5 and A2 do not have them and they drive nice. Damn fine chunks the A5s are.

Unless you plan on using a scope with a larger than 50mm objective, I personally do not feel the need......

Fixed is where it's at and I've got 'em all..............
