Has anyone tried one of these stocks? I have 2 Ruger American308 compacts, and was thinking about getting the Magpul to put on one.The last one I bought is a 2014 model and the fore end has less space( not floated as much ) between the barrel and for end.The other one my daughter hunts with I bought in 2022. Doyou think the Magpul stock are worth the money?
 
I don't have advice on the MagPul but for the comment about 'fore end has less space( not floated as much ) between the barrel and for end': simple 'fix' is remove some of the fore end material to achieve whatever amount of clearance you desire. In reality, I'm not sure that it makes much/any diff. Sitting in the deer blind, I noticed the fore end of my synthetic stocked rifle was 'touching' the left side of the barrel. A bit of force moved the fore end so not heavily bearing on the barrel. Concerning? Only from an aesthetic standpoint since this rifle is scary accurate from first shot cold barrel to 5 shot group. Certainly not even worth the effort to remove barreled action and do some sandpaper work. :whistle:
