I have the Magpul CTR buttstock on my .308 and want to put an Accushot monopod on it. The Larue Tactical POD bolts through it and gives you a mini rail mount point. I am just worried that if that accushot gets too much leverage on it, it may bust the plastic where the stock is drilled out. Just figured I would ask before I shelled ot 90 bucks and drilled holes.
Anyone use the Larue tactical POD?

I've got one. I'm not worried about the stock cracking and you don't have to drill anything. The screws pass through the sling loop. I do think it's way over priced for what it is though. I bought mine used for a decent price, you might look into doing the same.
I have thoroughly beaten the @#$% out of a POD that I have mounted on a CTR that's attached to a custom Armalite-pattern AR-10 of mine. It has held up very well with an Atlas up front and a BT12QK on the POD for ~2k rounds now.
And a +1 on Wave's comments above...no drilling of the stock body is required. It'll mount right up without issue in a matter of <5min max without modification. I can't imagine the POD/monopod getting enough leverage on it to break the stock body unless you have REALLY gone off the reservation somehow in terms of how you are using/abusing the rifle. It is a very solid mount-up and there is plenty of material around the mounting bolt locations to hold up to fairly aggressive use.

I have the POD on my CTR, no issues at all with it, although I use it as a level place for my rear bag to rest rather than using a monopod.
As for the CTR breaking: I had an AR I bought off of a friend that I was adding a single-point attachment to, so the buffer tube/stock extension had to come off. Well someone had used about a bottle of red Loctite on the tube threads. The guy taking it loose had to heat the tube and put a pry bar through the CTR to gain some leverage and cranked against the CTR with a 4ft pry bar to bust loose the Loctite/threads. The Loctite gave way first and the CTR kept on trucking. I'm not saying you CAN't break the CTR, but it would need to be one of those freak things where anything would break, or you'd really have to go out of your way (apparently more out of your way than torqueing against it with a 4ft pipe).

My rifle shows up Thursday, so its nice to know the holes are already there. I would prefer a PRS but it comes with the ctr already on it. I will look for a used Pod like WaveNature suggested. Thanks for the input.
I have had a POD on my OBR since I got it and I have had no issues. My gun gets beat on a lot between demo's and traveling in a storm case all the time. I just use the POD to pull the buttstock in my shoulder and I use a rear bag.
