Lazarus's Review of Magpul Industries PRS Lite Rifle Stock
Solid stock. An excellent compromise between weight, functionality and price. Alternative/similar stocks that offer the same features are heavier and generally significantly more expensive... I purchased mine for a lightweight/budget SPR build utilizing Aero M4 receivers and hand guard, and SPR barrel. A very stout stock with just the right amount of adjustment. Caught it on sale and got it delivered for less than $80!
Had to dock a star for the same reason as another reviewer, my stock has about 1/16" or so play back and forth, up and down the buffer tube, due to a small amount of slack between the buffer tube and stock bolt. Noticeable when repeatedly racking the gun, such as to clear. Not so much an issue in normal operation, just annoying, and another little crack to get dirty. I suspect this is due to the slight variances between manufacturers on "mil spec", and to be honest, I expected better of Aero in that regard, not like them to be off.
A negative for some but not for me is the set-it-and-forget-it style of adjustment. I see no reason to have a rifle be able to adjust on the fly unless you're changing sights or shooters. A dedicated scoped rifle doesn't need to be adjusted regularly, and I'd rather have the more permanent feel of such a stock as this. I also dig the clean lines compared to some of the 'space gun' looking offerings out there.
Magpul should have included an adhesive shim kit to add to the front angle on the length-selection portion of the receiver extension, or on the mating surface inside the stock, one or the other. That's my plan for solving the issue, anyway.
Would and will buy this stock again in the future if such a specific build requires. For a basic bench gun, light but capable varmint gun, designated marksman, this stock is excellent.
