[guidedmiscle]

here are parameters of consideration

 frequently shoot with stock mounted in chest not shoulder, I like to do 3 gun

interested in soft shooting rifle (my understanding is rifle length buffer system shoots softer)

considering ACE but looking at options

look forward to any and all  imput

The "shoots softer" argument is never proven. A carbine stock, with a heavy buffer, will shoot lighter than a stock rifle length buffer system. Using a short fixed stock uses the same buffer system as a collapsible stock.

If your just interested in a fixed short stock, your options are a bit limited.

The A2 Shorty Fixed stock

The ACE ARFX-Entry

Both of those stocks are fixed length, with carbine length buffer systems.

Ps.

I had the ACE ARFX on my .308 up until recently. I swapped it for the ACE ARFX-E and added the LAW Tactical folding stock adapter.

I lost about 3" LOP in the swap, but gained about half that back by adding the adapter. It now fits me perfectly.

I bought a MOE fixed rifle stock after seeing one 98z5v's builds. I put it on one of my 308s and I really like it and recommend it. It is shorter than the A2....though not by much. QD mounts are available.

[Robocop1051]

If I were to recommend a full length fixed stock, I'd toss my vote for the RRA Operator A2 stock. Maybe the VLTOR A2 Mod Stock as a second.

Magpul makes great stuff, and I own lots of their parts, but they're all pretty heavy.

[StainTrain]

I can't argue there. The MOE is "robust." I should have added that in my post. On a positive note, it is lighter than the PRS.....but then again what isn't. :-)

Awesome stock, isn't it stain?  I'm very impresed with it.  <thumbsup>

[guidedmiscle]

Thank you for the imput!  I was checking out the Moe earlier. I was unaware of the VLTOR or RRA. would probably lean toward VLTOR in A1. Have any experience with Lancer systems carbon fiber handgaurd?

and thanks again

Damn straight. I see another one in my near future. I put the rail on the bottom for accushot monopod.

Ive been thinking about getting one of these to replace my A2, hoping to get a better cheekweld. They are a direct swap for the A2 right? Has anyone tried the recoil pad on the MOE?

[98Z5V]

It's a direct swap for the A2, when you chuck the 5/8" A2 spacer on the end of the receiver extension, and ditch the longer A2 screw. The MOE rifle stock comes with the shorter A1 screw.

[StainTrain]

The LOP is damn near perfect. I haven't tried any of the recoil pads. Im getting another for a recently acquired Mega Lower. Bravo.Company has A1/A2 receiver extensions for 20 bucks if you need one.

[.308LiteHunter]

 So ditch the 5/8" spacer, use the shorter screw that comes with the MOE stock. 

 

If I want the A1/A2 receiver extension ( this is for LOP ?) I'll know where to pick one up.

 

Is it noticeably heavier than the A2, and hows the cheekweld? Thats one of the main reasons I want to get one.

[StainTrain]

Cheek weld is similar UBR but not quite the same. I recommend knocking some of the thread locker off of the magpul screw but that's up to you.

[Rsquared]

Now....the UBR is a nice stock. I put that on my SASS and haven't looked back since. That bitch is SOLID. No shake, no rattle, no nothing. It's got a little heft to it, but....HEY....we're men aren't we? <laughs>

 

Just kiddin fella's. But I am more than satisfied with the UBR on the rifle. Been using it for a couple years now.

It is certainly a beast.
