This is my 3rd Burris rifle scope purchase. I wanted a reasonably priced, versatile, and fairly compact scope to mount on my new Springfield 2020 Way point. It has the simple plex reticle. Glass is clear at 16x with parallax adjust. Turrets adjust precisely. My first trip to the range, I punched metal plates at 300 and 385 yards on consecutive shots. Elevation turret has zero stop. Setting zero is a bit cumbersome. First remove the 2 tiny screws holding the turret cover. Then loosen 3 tiny Allen screws to allow the zero stop to slide on the zero knob. Then reattach the turret so the zero indicator can be aligned with mark on the scope tube. Then remove the turret, tighten the 3 set screws and tighten the turret. Fortunately one doesn't have to go through this process often. The scope comes with the Allen wrench and spare screws. My only other issue is the dust cap must be removed to adjust the turret for distance shots. The manual states the dust cover can be left off. I mounted the scope using Burris medium tactical rings. Positioning the scope for my optimal eye relief, the scope barely cleared the front of the piccitiny rail.

I recently purchased a first generation predator rifle chambered in Ruger 204. After a couple trips to the range where this rifle grouped under an inch at 200 yards with factory Hornady 32 grain Vmax, I knew a stock upgrade was coming in the near future.

The Magpul 931 stock installed easily! The trickiest part is punching out the 1/8th inch pin holding the magazine release in the factory stock. The LOP and cheek riser inserts install after removing a single screw in the stock. I purchased the High Cheek Riser option and the M-Lok bipod along with the stock. I installed the 1/4 inch higher riser which seems to better align my eye with the high Burris rings I have. The bipod installation was straight forward.

The only issue I encountered was the factory Ruger AI magazine, while it fits into the Magpul stock, cartridges will not feed. The lobe on the bolt misses the base of the cartridge! I sourced a Magpul AI magazine locally and this took care of the problem.

As has been mentioned, the Magpul stock (and bipod) adds a bit of weight. This makes shooting more enjoyable but I don't think I would want to haul the extra into the back woods on an elk hunt.

Yes, the new Ruger Mini-14s need a bit of fitting. The main trigger body fits the stock. The problem is the flange on the bottom of the trigger body is too wide for the stock. This flange fits into a recess. Either file down the flange a bit on either side or enlarge the recess. I chose to widen the recess rather than file the flange and ruin the blueing. I used a Dremel tool with milling bit and an Exacto knife. It didn't take long to do. I also mounted a red dot sight and keep extra batteries in the storage compartment built into the stock. Length of pull and cheek adjustments make for a comfortable fit. I recommend this stock for its look, function and price. 4 stars only because of this trigger fit work around.
