Handling

if ur shooting off-hand, get a butt stock mounted on the tank and hogue hand grips. this is a cheap configuration and it works well. it is a bitch to shoot AF rifles from bench and prone positions, but all that is ur adaptation. you can try the Olympic style or military style… Just practice and u will feel more comfortable eventually. i personally feel that the Olympic style is more suitable for the AF rifles when shooting from all positions other than when using a bi-pod…the military technique of tucking in your front hand under the butt stock is very comfortable when using a bi-pod… BTW…dont worry about the weight too much as long as u can still hike with it… a heavier gun is more accurate…

Remove the TriRail (if you have one) to lower your center of gravity.
Replace the plastic handle with an AR-15 heavier handle. (WOK sells mods for those in the For Sale section).
