In my experience the bipod studs get loose and eventually strip out. Fill them full of loctite and it helps. Other than that they are fine stocks. I think the LTR is a great design.
I prefer 8541's design. I've a few and will happily buy more once (if?) he starts making them again. I guess if doesn't, than I'll be ordering from Sage.
Any DBM that uses AI mags will have a wider footprint than the OEM BDL. You may want to try a HS Precision DBM as it is a drop in fit. I believe Wyatt's may be also. This way if you do not like the feature, you can easily go back to BDL.
I had a similar problem. My issue was the firing pin spring. I bought a wolf to replace the OEM. It is rare that the springs wear out, but it does happen.
The way I see it is a BDL is just an ADL that can be cleaned and unloaded easily. Sure ADL is 'simpler' but how complicated is a hinge? Not like you're going to forget the hinge on the way out the door! Better to have it and not need it...
I will talk you out of it- get an LTR instead :) @ Deerhunter 28: The bolts come from the factory torqued at 45in/lbs. Many here torque to 65in/lbs, but beware, you may crack the pot metal trigger guard. I never did, though.
Thank you for all the feedback. I guess I will try with my regular gear and see how it goes. I have a woobie, so I will pack it for warmth when sitting (like I do for the stand!). Depending, maybe I will just up date my base layer.
I've been using base layers and BDU's in the past. It's been fine for winter hiking and stand hunting, but I'm doubtful how comfortable that would be if I'm sitting in snow drifts.
Anyone using bibs from Cabela's or Bass pro? I am considering the Cabela's Dry-Plus 10-point Bibs or Bass Pro's Onyx ArcticShield Performance Fit Bibs It gets really cold where I am. -30 with wind on a cold day, or if one is lucky, -15 on bright sunny afternoon. So I need something warm...
