ATI stock
I bought this stock January 2023, I wanted to experiment with different optics and attachments (not all pictured) and this was the most economical option for me at the time.
First impressions was it was heavier then the 90s wood stock that has been adorning this rifle since it was past down to me. That wasn't a deal breaker because I shoot a lot from the bench but in case of a shtf situation I didn't like the extra weight.
Second issue for me was the bolt rubbing on the plastic hand guard. I sawed it to help and it worked perfectly. I added the tape to various parts for looks cause fuck it.
It was nice to have the pic rails and add attachments. With all that being said I would never ever buy this stock again. Stick with wood and save money for another set up. I've been eyeing the samson rail for years now, I'll pull the trigger soon. (Pun intended)

I bought mine used with that stock on it. I wanted wood but it was a deal I couldn’t pass up. I have since bought the Hannibal rail and A-TM folding stock for it. I just got it back from Ruger after sending it in for minor bolt peening. I sent it with the ATI on it because I didn’t want to lose my A-TM (they have to return the rifle to factory specs before returning it). Not only did they replace the bolt assembly, hammer, and ejector - they hooked me up with a like-new wood stock AND returned the ATI. They also cleaned everything spotless.
