Which fixed stock would you go with?

RRA if 18" or less barrel
if 20" or longer barrel, i'd go with an A2
if 20" or longer barrel, i'd go with an A2
Well, I like the ace stock because of the multiple sling attachment points and option of buttpad or no buttpad. I like the clean look without being too boring (A2). I also like the padding from the buffer tube cover.
Looks wise, I would pick the ace stock over the RRA, A2, or VLTOR
Adjustability wise, the VLTOR would probably be the better choice.
Anything to add Supermoto?

I voted other. I like the A1 stock from Cavalry arms because of its shorter length compared to the A2. Also since my stock must be fixed here in MA, ill take all the storage space the A1 (or A2) has to offer. I have noticed the RRA operator stock and really like the look for a fixed stock. I know the Viltor has battery storage, but I have in my A1 stock a complete cleaning kit with sectional rod, bore brush, chamber brush, patches, bottle of oil, as well as 2 123 batteries.
It seems like both the RRA and VLTOR have more sling mounting options, unless I'm missing something.
The others are good points though my XCR already has an ACE stock on it, so I was thinking of trying something else.
I had the Vltor clubfoot on my SOCOM-16/Troy MCS and really liked it. Great storage, good cheek-weld, sling mounting options, etc...I'm not sure if they offer the A-1 length anymore, but that's what I went with. I also like the Sully with a spacer for a fixed stock. Great cheek-weld, lacks sling mounting options, but you can add them anywhere. I went with a Troy rear sling mount, (M16)...
I just used one of these on a build:
I like it a lot. Here's more info:

that is the most comfortable stock i've ever experienced on a AR-15 rifle... if I were to do a "pure" performance-based (bench/prone/off-hand) rifle, i'd use that stock in a nano-second.
I agree with this statement on the Magpul PRS -- If it's in the pricerange I'd go for it. I just got one of these and I'm loving the thing on my 20" HBAR.
I don't own and have never shot on an ACE but from what I gather they're great and the only main common alternative to the PRS for a long-range build (Aside from the obvious A2).
I'd generally NOT use the Vltor on anything longer than 16", but it would still function well if you're going for a more tactical build. If you're mounting lights to this rifle like a Recce 18", the two compartments in the Vltor will be useful for batteries.
It also doesn't hurt that BCG has this Vltor on Clearance for $50 at the moment (well they did last time I checked earlier this week anyways)

I'm also in the camp of the ACE ARFX Skeleton stock for all the reasons previously mentioned.
I just put an ace entry stock on my AR over the weekend and I'm loving it so far
