Stock Texture

[Tiny Tim]

Contemplating purchasing an AG Composites stock. One thing they offer is a textured grip and/ or forearm. Will be for a 308 hunting rifle. Likely the Alpine hunter stock.

Any experience? Is it worth the extra money? Any cons to it?

Thanks for the feedback in advance.

Absolutely get that option. !!
Well worth it, only con is it should be standard.

I doubt there are any cons to it other than if you personally don't like the texture. So I guess there could be cons hahah. I don't have textures on my AGs and never wished I did but that doesn't mean you feel like I do.

I could see it interfering with consistent forend movement if riding a bag. But for hunting, I don't see any cons. Just my thought.

I'd think it'd still be consistent riding the bag.
I wouldn't worry about it. But then again I don't ride the bags much. Mostly bipod, tripod, & field positions. Texture grip is a plus there.

Might consider the MCS PH. I like mine waaay better than the Alpine I had. I have another PH
on order. My favorite so far.

Get the texture! If you hunt in cold weather holding on to a slick rifle stock with gloves is a PITA!

My Remington Ultimate MZ laminate is so slick I had to put a thin strip safety-walk slip resistant tape around the grip and one narrow strip on each side of the fore end just so I could hang on to it with gloves!
