Folding vs. Fixed stocks


Recommended Posts

I have a chance to buy either but was wondering why the folding is more expensive?  Wouldn't the fixed stock be more stable and if someone wanted to, couldn't they put another stock on it, whether it be folding or collapsible? 

Thanks for the advice,

Joe

Folding has more, and moving parts, as well as is considered the "truest" version of the VEPR stateside. Also, since they are not currently (maybe never again) imported in that configuration it may add value to some folks. As far as options, the person who gets the folder isn't looking to replace it, and the person with the straight tube has little choice because of the funky Trunion they have, but some companies are working to remedy that.

The $1000 for a folder isn't awful. $700 for fixed is normal so it is just a toss up to what you want. My suggestion is to shoulder the folder and see if you like the feel, because you are stuck with it if you get it. If not then get the fixed and change it out.
