Stage 2 AICS is cool and all, but the big metal hinge right in front of your mouth when it is cold out sucks major a$$.
Are you in contact with the hinge when shooting prone? Would be using a 20moa rail and med rings so I dont know how far up the cheek rest will be. I plan on full year service with any of my stuff(-40 to +30c) .
And to Rick a stage 2 in the original post color would be cool too
