My 10/22 has been sitting in limbo, so I figured I might as well set it up for a mapleseed match/practice

Do you guys think the magpul, victor, boyds, ect. stocks offer anything over a factory option for such an endeavor?
Personally I thought the adjustability of the at-one stock would make minor adjustments for going prone to standing easier.
Never liked much comb height for standing but needed it for prone.
But the reviews of the stock sounds like it's not too great for the price paid for it.
 
I like the Magpul style so much that I got one for my 10/22 and 870 shotgun.

That is what I will be using for my rimfire rifle that I plan to use for my Mapleseed efforts.
 
looks like they use a sling a lot so having sling swivels on your stock would be important. sorry if I am pointing out the obvious. that would be a big learning curve for me as I have never used a sling as a shooting aide
 
The Magpul was a popular stock at the match we attended.
The possibility to adjust the comb and get a proper cheek weld (if your using optics) is a pretty good selling point.

Are they planning a Mapleseed match in PEI?
(It would be a reason as good as any to visit the island)

We had one earlier this year(qualified with my cz455), I am hoping they do it again soon as it was challenging and a lot of fun, if not I think a few of us are up for doing our own practice matches.

Shms, the match this year was the first time I used only a sling for shooting and it sure was a big learning curve! Rewarding though.
 
For something like the Mapleseed, I would think comfort would be the biggest factor. Second would be weather factors. Flex isn’t going to come into play from recoil.
 
The most important mod is to make sure the cheekweld is correct with the optics you plan to use. No need to spend money on a different stock, unless you want one. There is a video on the Project Mapleseed YouTube channel on ways to adjust your rifle's cheekweld. A few of the instructors have the Magpul hunter and it allows us to easily adjust the length of pull and cheek riser height for different shooters. It is a pretty solid chassis but again you don't need one to qualify. The key is either having a good, open teachable attitude on the day of or lots of good practice beforehand.

Hey, Kelly from Project Mapleseed. PEI is on our East Coast tour list. Sign up for event notification on our website at www.mapleseedrifleman.com

And fyi, I love the Hunter x-22 stock from Magpul for my 10/22, buy the extra cheekrisers though so you cna fit the rifle to you. And yes, you fit it to you in the prone position.

Kelly, any photos of the magpul stocks with sling setups?
 
For 10/22, the two most useful upgrades are the auto bolt release mod ($0 DIY) and QD sling sockets ($20-ish) - they help immensely with mag changes and transitions.

Make sure the optics eye relief works in standing and prone.

And clean / lube / test the rig beforehand.

I second this. I also have the extended magazine release which wraps around the trigger guard...SUPER handy for the quick mag changes, and doesn't get in the way when I dragged the rifle out grouse hunting.
