Go on you tube and watch nutnfancy's videos on the m1a he talks about the sage and the Troy ... I think if he tryed the black feather the would like the stock but say its not worth the money , but if money is not the problem I'd say buy what suits the rifles intention if you are really going to spend 2k on a rifle for shooting beer cans who cares what it weighs and make it as cool as you want the Troy chassis looks sweet when you take the front sights off and run the direct connect muzzle devices , but a rifle that is over 15lbs loaded with a big optic is not ideal for most uses
