[QUOTE="trebark, post: 864970, member: 19172"] My two custom prone rifles have A3's. Ideally, I would have liked to have an A5 forearm with an A3 buttstock. But McMillan won't mix and match like that! With the A3 buttstock you can make vertical angle adjustments by sliding a bag forward or back. With the A5 it has a butthook so vertical angle adjustment has to be done by using either different size bags or squeezing a bag. I find squeezing a bag to be not as stable as moving a solid bag forward or back and carrying various size bags is heavy and cumbersome. As for cheekpieces, I definitely like that feature as I find it raised fairly high quite often. If you're not sure about it, I would recommend getting an adjustable cheekpiece because it is far better to have and not want.
