Good morning, I decided I'm getting myself a Ruger PCC for my birthday. The only thing left to decide is if I get the fixed stock or telescopic mlok stock. I'll mostly use it for target shooting at the range and in the woods.

Just curious to hear people's different experiences/preferences.

Thanks!
 
I owned all three versions.
Telescopic stock is nice and is more tactical looking and has slotted forend for lights and grips.
Other one has the rail and no telescopic stock
Standard one is the one I like best.
Buy a Magpul stock to fit it in and it’s a great back packing gun. Found the other 2 to heavy

I have the standard version, and kind of wish I'd bought the adjustable stock, mlok forend version. With that said I've now switched it over to a magpul backpacker stock and am quite happy with the setup. I now just have to figure out how to mount a flashlight to it and not have it look completely garish.....
:cheers:
 
The adjustable stock model has a lot more flexibility in terms of fit, accessories, etc. The biggest downside is that it is quite heavy. If you're 6'2" and weigh 220 lbs. then it won't bother you. if you're 5'6" and weigh 140 lbs. it might. it is also several hundred dollars more expensive.

The standard model is lighter so easier to carry but is much more limited in how you can upgrade it. I have both and prefer the adjustable stock model as the weight doesn't bother me. YMMV.
 
Could play adult Lego with the standard stock version plus PC Charger bits from IRG.
Charger is classified as pistol, so you can’t import the receiver itself, but everything else should be plug and play with the NR version.
Short barrel + standard stock + drum = PPSh
Long barrel + chassis + folding stock (Sig MCX works) = cool PCC
etc
Plus you get spare bolt, FCG, magwells - could either sell or keep for parts.

The backpacker version was my second choice and probably more practical because it's lighter

Still ended up going for the adjustable stock version for the tactical look. A foregrip is a must for the heavy front end.
 
Having handled a few I like the magpul takedown version the best. Still on the fence about buying a PCC or semi auto .223.

PCC less likely to get banned

I wouldn't think so. They have abandoned the idea of banning guns by name, but are still planning on coming up with a definition to ban "assault weapons". I highly doubt that definition will ban AR180-based guns but not ban 9mm PCCs. Their previous attempt was "Semi auto centerfire, takes detachable magazines that can hold >5 rounds." which would cover anything that takes a pistol mag and anything that takes AR mags. Who knows if that is the definition they keep to, or maybe they add more to the definition - the US had features like pistol grips and threaded barrels as criteria for example when they banned assault weapons in the 90s, but those are both features found on most AR-wannabe rifles as well as most PCCs.

Long story short I would think AR180-based stuff and Pistol caliber carbines are equally likely to get banned in the future.

In that case then get the backpacker stock in grey so it's less scary
 
I have had the first generation standard take down version for a couple years now. Works well.

I just bought the newest version with the telescopic stock yesterday on sale at FOC. It looks tacti-cool! Remember it’s “optic-ready” so you’ll need to get a BUIS or some other optic. FOC has a “moving” sale on right now. Check it out.

Bullseye has them on right now for $1113.49 with free shipping. That's less than what I paid two years ago.

I was going to create a post asking about how safe from ban the PCC is, but Suther answered it. I don't think any semi-auto is safe under the Liberals. I strongly believe that in the eyes of the Liberals, anything black is bad. That wood and iron hunting rifle, that grassland camo shotgun, are all ok; but if you ask a Liberal if your black gun of any round is ok they will say no. And no, Justin will not see the humor in you "black facing" your hunting gun with a can of tactical black spray paint.

I will watch this topic but am leaning towards the basic model. It is nice to shoot more than 5, it is nice to have a take-down more than .22, but it is not a battle rifle. Trying to make the PCC into the next Canadian legal "AR' might be a losing battle.
 
In the eyes of liberals, all guns are bad. Wood, steel, plastic, or camo, they're all on the ban list. Eventually.
Look at Australia, their '90s massive bans weren't enough, in recent years even lever actions were deemed too quick shooting.
And once we're down to single shots, obviously you could live without that too. Already taking our single shot 50cals and big game african rifles.

On topic, I have a regular pc carbine, kind of wish I had the mlok forend on it. For hanging accessories off it, but reality is the rifle is fine without them weighing it down.
The traditional stock is fine.
Probably change my mind if I run it in an ipsc match.

there was a mention on targeting manufacturers. that might mean existing owners would be ok but no more new supply

the ruger pcc isn't that expensive compared to some other semi autos so i decided to take a gamble
