[QUOTE="top predator, post: 669495, member: 13514"] All in all, I was very satisfied with the build, it exceeded my expectation of how easy it was (though time consuming) to install, and the aparant quality of the stock. The use of measuring tools...forget it. It is one of those things that sort of has to be eyeballed. But a little thought and some planning can turn your plain Jane rimfire rifle into the Cinderella of the range. For well under the price of a Tacticool stock, the AICS has an aluminum bedding block, length of pull adjustment, 4 way adjustable cheek piece, a target styled grip angle with a very contoured and comfortable thumbhole, built in rear monopod, and more. It can be further bedded with bedding material, and the stock also has a groove in the bottom of the forestock for positioning bipods or handstops in various locations. [IMG]http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w384/WALTERRO2/455%20INTO%20AICS/scoped.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w384/WALTERRO2/455%20INTO%20AICS/additionalview3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w384/WALTERRO2/455%20INTO%20AICS/additionalview2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w384/WALTERRO2/455%20INTO%20AICS/QUARTERINGVIEW.jpg[/IMG] It just seemed that either the stock was meant for this rifle, or this rifle was made for the stock. Certain angles and lines just seemed to match up with each other, producing a very symbiotic look between the action and stock. It's not just for looks either. The before (factory wood stock) and after (AICS stock) after a few days at the range proved that although there was no real clear evidence that accuracy was improved, there was no real clear evidence that accuracy was hurt either. The rifle actually shot as well as it did beforehand, .30" to .75" at 50 yards (.5" average), .75" to 1.5" at 100 yards (just a litlle under 1.25" average), and between 6.5" and 9.25" (7.6" average) using Wolf MT, CCI Standard Velocity, and Federal Bulk pack HV. That's using both the washer only and the pillar & washer install, i think I'm staying with the washer install. To wrap up the install, I'll take it apart again, install a trigger kit, then paint all the aluminum & steel parts so they all match for a clean look. It's also a rather comfortable stock to shoot from the bench or prone, and the built in features are handy, although the rear retractable monopod seemed to get more in the way when using a rear bag. The monopod by itself is a little "squishy" and I wouldn't really depend on it, but something is better than nothing if your in a hurry. All in all, no regrets on going with the AICS conversion [/QUOTE]
