Sage EBR stocks

[Guest Rem_700]

I have had my SA M1A for over a year now and its an awesome rifle the way it is,but the more I see these sage stocks,the more I want one! Dang they are just so dang sexy!!! Dang price has got me down,$750 for one,that is a major purchase for little ol me.I was thinking of getting another AR to replace the one I sold,but instead of getting another AR I was thinking of getting a SAge EBR stock and an Eotech or something along those lines.Whats your guys thoughts? Anyone have any hands on experiecne with the sage?

I agree, they do look good. I'm wanting to eventually get a SA SOCOM 16 or II, and would love to do this to it:

I like tha tlook too Jhatmaker... Looks like a JAE stock on that one.

Friend of mine has one, and let me tell you - if you thought the rifle was heavy before, the Sage stock doubles it (or at least feels that way). It's a cool stock, but its not something I'd want to carry around.

EDIT: For reference he has the M14ALCS model.

Unless I was shooting competition I would never drop that much money on a rifle stock...I think you would get more bang for the buck putting that in optics or better yet buying another firearm. Kind of like putting nitrous on a car...yeah it makes it faster, but your never gonna see any return on your money.

.yeah it makes it faster, but your never gonna see any return on your money.

I've heard that as well.

And I hate putting such an emphasis on looks when it comes to buying guns and rifles, since it should be something that has a use, not just something to look at. But I won't lie to anyone, when I'm looking to get a new weapon, a lot of them time looks play an important factor. Of course I want it to have good reliability, but I want it to look tacticoolz at the same time. I'm shallow like that...

Anybody have experience w/ the Troy chassis for the M1A/M14? It looks great too. Pretty sure the price is in the same ballpark though.

the troy is decent. there was a guy out at montgomery county shooting complex with one. he says it gets mistaken for an AR10 often and i could easily see how.

i too would like to get a Sage stock for my Scout. its what the DMRs are using overseas now as well. it is pricey but when you look at getting any other good stock such as one from mcmillan and then getting it bedded and such, it all washes out to almost equal.

for all M14 related info, id check out www.M14TFL.com

[broylz]

there are also VLTOR and CM Manufacturing that uses a modifiey USGI fiberglass stock and have folders as well.

the McMillan MSF-14 is a nice option as well for a folder but requires bedding and is almost the same as the SAGE, although its a folder and it is alot lighter.

I dont on cars cause I know better...but when it comes to guns I dont have that Hero Gear and Pinmaster money Only hobby I have got into and not lost my A$$...I like to keep it that way.

[MikeW]

I dont call it "lost money" I call it an entertainment tax....sounds more Obamaicly correct that way.
