    Micky Duck it’s a 1.5-5. Would love another one, but they’re not easy to find! The new one has a CDS turret which I have no use for

    I decided with this one to try a bit of cast and cant. All my previous stocks have been straight, so this is something new. 184015 I gave it 3/16 cast-off, and 1/8” cant or toe out. Works well...
