The M14 Scope Mounts is a decent rifle and has a lot of fans. Keeping it competitive for long-range shooting requires a lot more effort than newer rifle systems, and the steps to make it competitive for long-range shooting are not very robust.
What I like about the Troy Stock is that it addressed a lot of issues that the M-14 Scope Mounts had. Riding high in the stock, when mounting a scope.

Mannlicher 11/12/2008 4:00:39 PM Tazaroo The first thing I would track down is a E2 stock. They are completely badass!
Now that I know everything fits properly I’m really looking forward to hitting the range and putting this new gear through it’s paces. My previous shell carrier didn’t cause any issues with the M3′s inertia drive, even with reduced recoil loads-I don’t anticipate that this one will either. That said, since this is a defensive weapon I’ll run it hard to make sure everything works properly. ETA: My old Benelli Accessoriestaclight mount was secured to the magazine tube using hose clamps. It was the epitome of ghetto Mayimbe 7/1/2010 6:41:28 AM I ordered one of their six shell side saddle/picatinny top rail units for my 870. It arrived with some small mounting hardware parts missing. I sent it back with and explanation of what was missing. They paid for my shipping both ways, and supplied the correct mounting hardware; someone even threw in a couple extra logo stickers (small things go a long way sometimes). Great customer service. Once up and running I loved it. However, the issue of everyday/longterm ‘storage’ of shotshells in the side saddle quickly became an issue, as shotshells were fitting too loosely. To their credit, they clearly acknowledge this in their manual that comes with the unit. I ended up selling it in the EE and putting a plain jane saddle on my 870 in its place. If they can come up with a solution to the day to day storage of shotshells without the delrin strip giving out, I would buy the same unit without hesitation.

Yes that is correct. It is a hydraulic recoil shock absorber extension tube for collapisble stocks. www.mesatactical.com/index.php?id=94 Semper Fi, Gregg Zak-Smith 1/23/2008 1:35:41 AM My experience with such system so far leads me to believe they are one of the most stupid ideas to be applied to precision rifles. I am much more concerned with accuracy and the rifle staying on target through recoil, than reducing “felt recoil”– which in compressible systems means that the rifle/action is moving backward and forward vs. the buttstock. Since the buttstock is the object on which the shooter provides force to counter recoil and keep the rifle in the same place, now the action and optics are moving relative to the shooter, which in turn screws up eye relief and sight picture. Another dramatic failure is when you combine a heavy-recoiling rifle with a scope that has eye relief on the short end (like the USO’s), and one of these compressible stocks. The stock is designed to compress to reduce “recoil”, however, you now lose a bunch of eye relief immediately and are much more likely to get smacked. I’ve seen this happen. There’s no way to get a more solid position on the gun, because the gun moves vs. its stock. But I haven’t tried yours. Maybe it’s different. 007Kevin 1/23/2008 2:28:00 AM I like the look of the stock and gun alone. This may be ignorant and not to HJ thread but why do you need all that stuff on there in the other pics and what good would they do? -forward vertical grip -small weapon mounted light *maybe not alot of stuff but other stuff? It’s a bolt action, not something I associate with CQC switch to AR or HG septic-tank13 1/23/2008 7:15:06 AM when we shoot whether it is for uncle sam, or on the bench, or anywhere else, it is necessary we employ measures to remain consistent above all. that is where our accuracy lies. we don’t always seek to remove motion from the sceanrio, but those motions we can’t stop need to remain consistent from shot to shot to provide accuracy. some radial and plenty of axial movement by a hydraulic stock isn’t going to be good for accuracy. it will likely add problems. maybe not, but probably… like zak, i’m also concerned with rearward movement under recoil. if the objective is to lessen the recoil felt by the shooter it would seem a mistake to allow the rig to move rearward under recoil – after all you really don’t need it on nonmagnum calibers, so those cals offering the most boom are those most likely to bite you anyway… you’ll end up eating the scope at some point potentially. i ate a 50BMG once, i hope to never get bitten by a scope again… again, i’m just thinking out loud, as i haven’t tried your unit. what i’m interested in is the chassis system and the properties of how you’re affixing this stock to the action. also, is that factory or aftermarket bottom metal with somebody’s mag or is that integral to the system and what mag does it support? weight? construction materials? i dig the AICS except i’m not a thumbhole guy. if somebody can come up with something to compete with it i’d imagine there may be some interest out here. -ST13 Harlikwin 1/23/2008 8:56:57 AM I agree with Zak and Septic. You don’t want some sort of shock absorbing system on a precision rifle. And no offense, but your ad looks like something you’d see from TAPCO. Rob01 [Moderator] 1/23/2008 9:53:11 AM I’m with Zak and ST13 on the recoil system. It might be fine on an iron sighted shotgun but it wouldn’t be a good thing in a precision rifle for the reasons mentioned. What’s the bedding system? Aluminum block like an HS or does it get conventionally bedded? Is the DM floorplate all part of the stock or does it come off? I’m not one for hanging loads of shit off my rifle as are most of the serious rifle shooters I know so the pics below the basic stock really aren’t going to appeal to anyone except the “tacti cool” crowd and might cost sales. You might have them tone it back a bit for SHOT. What booth you going to be at at SHOT? ETA: The more I thought about the recoil system the more it bothered me about what the bipod would be doing during recoil. With a normal stock the recoil is transfered back into the shooter who is a heavy object so the whole rifle doesn’t move much including the bipod feet. With the recoil system the whole front of the rifle would move during recoil however far the recoil system is set up to move, which looks like about 1-2″. People have problems with bipod hop, although I never did, with a normal system but when you have the majority of the rifle free recoiling the bipod would move more than I would like which would also make follow up shots harder. Just some thoughts. Any info you could give to explain it all would be great. LoneWolfUSMC 1/23/2008 9:53:27 AM NO THANK YOU!!!! I will stick with the McMillan A1/A5 or at most the new JAE-700 when it’s available. I like the thought of being able to alter the palmswell/comb/pull to my body, but after that it gets a little too crazy. About the only add-ons I can see needed on a precision rifle is a NV Optic and possible a IR Laser Designator. I don’t need rails festooned all over the stock unless it’s to attach a bipod/monopod. lonehunter 1/23/2008 10:25:42 AM Originally Posted By Zak-Smith: My experience with such system so far leads me to believe they are one of the most stupid ideas to be applied to precision rifles.

By reducing recoil or felt recoil as it applies to the operators perception of reality the Shot Shock actually helps (not hinders) you by staying on target and getting a faster secondary acquisition on multiple targets. I personally have this on my shotguns, FAL, AK47, X-Caliber, and a .50 Cal BMG with not problems of the scope hitting me in the face. I encourage you all to try it out for yourself and determine wether or not it is something for you. Of course you do not need it on X-Caliber if you so choose not to. There is a great review of it in the March issue of Guns and Weapons for Law Enforcement.

The forward grip is used if you are a sniper on the top of a building on a ledge aiming down onto the street as an example to get better stability and control. The small weapon mounted light is utilized when climbing up the stairs of the building if it was dark to get to your position. You never know when you would need a light and it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

I have one on my 1300, and one on the way for one of my 870s.
I tried a SpeedFeed before, and literally threw it in the trash. Im 6’2 and the length was still too long.
I was looking at those. I migt have to wait for a little while. I’m going back on the road pretty soon so it’s back to being home for a few days and driving the rest of the month.
Me thinks I just might buy a remington police and dress that out. And give the wingy to my son. I was looking at the blued Remmy police. They have a pretty good look. I’m not much in jumping around the woods with a riot gun so the blue might get bought. Then a Browning Gold, then a LMT lower, then some more reloading dies, then…..
Way too many guns to buy and not enough time to do it. Go fuc*ing figure. I’ll just call my wife from the road and tell her to order like hell…

The only issue I had with them was I once received an incomplete kit (missing a few screws) and they mailed out an entire new accessory kit the same day I called them. Very courteous, no issues at all; I like their stuff I’ve used on my 870s.

I would like to address the long term storage issue. We put that warning in after noticing that shells stored in the SureShell carriers here in the office tended to loosen up after time. So we wanted to makes sure people understood this could be a concern.
However, a couple months ago we heard from a law enforcement customer who had left his SureShell carrier loaded for a year, and he said he had no problems. He said the shells were a bit looser, but they weren’t falling out. And he also said that once he removed the shells the Santoprene elastomer bounced back to its normal shape after an hour or so.

The screws that Mesa Tactical are using, are WAYYY to soft, and no matter how much loc-tite you use, they WILL eventually come undone. What my father suggested, is to replace them with a high-grade stainless steel, or a HARDENED carbon steel screw (although he stressed to use the stainless) I will be ordereing some good quality stainless steel screws, and i will give you guys an update on how they work out. In the mean time, i have the stock rail back on, and the screws FEEL much better when they torque down. For some re-assurance, i’ve never torqued the Mesa Tactical screws down more than the manufactorer stated (at 18-20 pounds) and i’ve used Blue Lot-tite. I was still able to torque them back down about a quarter turn after each shooting session. CLIFF NOTES: Mesa Tactical SCREWS ARE NOT HARD ENOUGH, AND ARE PRONE TO DEFORMING UNDER NORMAL USE. REPLACING SCREWS WITH GOOD QUALITY STAINLESS STEEL OR HARDENED CARBON-STEEL
