Skeletonized pistol stock w/ standard trigger?

[PaiN 1]

I saw some pics of members .308s with the skeletonized pistol grip stock and a standard trigger. I'm wondering how this setup works/feels for people that use it.

thanks

here's the stock:

This is the stock that came with my .308 before I converted it. It was ok and I did get used to shooting with it.

 

Although this part kind of gives you a pistol grip, it can't even compare to a full conversion because you'd be amazed how much moving the grip two inches forward affects the weapon's balance. The trigger pull is also greatly improved in terms of feel and reset.

 

If you're thinking of buying this stock, don't bother. Save your money for the conversion parts.

 

If you're not going to do the conversion, I think the standard stock would be a better option for the .308 instead of the skeleton stock.

 

Just my two cents.

If you have the stock, sell it. If you don't, don't buy it.

 

Restore it and get rid of the funky trigger.

 

You will not regret it.

With that stock and the trigger in its factory configuration, you end up pulling upward on the trigger, as opposed to back. I found that it was throwing my shots off a bit, so I ditched it, did the trigger work, and went with a Choate skeleton stock.

Great advice always appreciated, I'll scrap the skele stock idea and save the $80
