and if this violates the rules please delete, I am not sure as this is a new product and I doubt lots of guys will flock to purchase, I also told Mystic to see Lou M at the worlds and get the info on this type of stock for those who are sensitive to recoil,

please note you MUST use the dual or triple pillar system as the one pillar system throws the shots off to one side

I see nothing new in terms of technology, just adapting shotgun technology to F-class stocks. Recoil reducing plates have been around for a while the other down side to this is the weight of the plate adding ounces to your rig. FO no biggie but for FTR things start to get tight in terms of weight.

I did bump into Lou in Raton but due to silly event schedule, never got a chance to have a chat. That was a bummer as he seems like a nice guy and as they say "he has been there, done that".

I shot with a shock in my rifle stock and wow, these things make a world of difference. No recoil pad even comes close to what these things can do. Problem is alignment in the stock to ensure there is no binding. I built a new stock around my shock and changed a variety of common dimensions to reduce the chances of problem during recoil. It worked very very well. My shoulder survived the marathon shooting event.

The big problem with these Shotgun based products is complexity and weight. Many are very well built so that is not an issue. Neither is longevity as a Shotgunner shooter is going to pound more shells in a season then a F'er in a lifetime. From memory, my unit is around 8 oz without the buttplate. The whole unit is definitely not light.

I am presently working on a new set up to simplify and get rid of a lot of weight. I am looking at a shock in a 1oz range and have adjustment for length of pull. Add a lightened buttplate and pad, might even be able to squeak it all in for around 3 to 4oz?????

My initial testing shows my shock works very well too. It will not be a zero maintenance set up as the gas shocks would be but likely 500 to 1000rds before anything needs to be done. Good enough.
