Can somebody please post some good close-ups of the Skeleton stock?

As no-one ever answered my photo request above, I'll do it myself.

If you want a job done right do it yourself! Nice photo, nice stock.

And thank you for allowing the UK to stay unified with you by the way.

Thanks on both respects - the independence thing here has been a nightmare over recent months. I'm British first and Scots by ancestry, but the idea of separation from The United Kingdon filled me with horror.

I'm delughted with both my Tac21 (Tikka T3) and the Skeleton Stock and would have no hesitation in reccomending them to anyone.

Thanks for posting that photo DW58.

I hope MDT gets some more made soon as I want one.

What be the difference between Version 1 and 2, if I may ask?

What he said.

What be the difference between Version 1 and 2, if I may ask?

- It is 1" longer.
- It has an injection molded cheek riser to give it a better textured finish. (old version was too smooth)
- Improved mechanics for stability of the cheek riser.

Any release update for Version 2? Are we still on schedule as noted above?
I'm sold on one but need to know if I will have to go with something else in the interim.

 

[TAC21]

We are getting close, but the first shipments will probably not happen until early January

Okay bit of a blasphemous question... any chance these will work on a Cadex chassis that is currently using a PRS stock? I can't get the cheekrest high enough for my optic, and this stock looks like a MUCH better solution!

No worries, we should all be able to work together. Yes, that should work no problem!

Speaking as a user of the MDT stock, the cheek-piece has a pretty good range, my scope is fairly high to clear the full-length rail on the Tac21 and it deals with this easily.

Very cool - thanks for the info! Looks like I'll be ditching the PRS sooner rather than later...

The version two LOP with a LSS is 14-15", right? Is that 14" with the old fixed stock adapter and 15" with the newer, shorter one?

We actually designed it like this on purpose. We also get comments that people do not like the PRS, because the bottom is flat. They like to be able to adjust their position by moving the bag back and forth.

This however is an easy solution. There are 2 threaded holes on the bottom to mount a rail. We will design a piece that bolts on to make the bottom flat.
Thanks for this feedback!

This is pretty much the only thing holding me back from getting a pair of these snazzy stocks. Any news on this piece? I need something that would work well with a "rabbit ears" rear bag.

No, the additional 1" is gained by adjusting the butt pad.

The final production steps are in motion! Will open up ordering within the next couple of weeks!

I've had my V1 Skeleton Stock in use since September now, absolutely delighted with it. Very comfortable and with more than adequate adjustment in both LOP and Comb. I look forward to seeing the V2 with interest.
