Updated stock (AB Arms USS-X) allows for more flexibility in head positioning when prone. Pretty solid, wish the extendable buttstock were just a tad more rigid.

Got my Surefire can on there as well. This is turning out to be a low recoil, low noise build, making it easy to see trace and splash.

I may be wrong, but I'd guess you're seeing lower MV with Varget?
