I'm getting ready to order a Crusader in a .260 Remington and I do not know if an adjustable stock is neccessary? The optic is a USO SN-3 ERGO with the 44mm objective.

I currenty have the optic in a set of Seekin Rings low and the scope has about 3/8"-1/2" clearance on my GAP Rock Rifle with a #5 Bartlein Contour.

I'm afraid I will need to raise the optic as Crusader's Barrel is a little bigger diameter. So I really do not know if the adjustable stock is needed as the objective on the scope is smaller?

I'm trying to keep the weight of the rifle as low as possible going with the 90% shell option, barrel fluting so on and so on and the adjustable stock adds about 1 pound to the build.

Any suggestions would be appreciated......

Go adjustable. If you don't need to raise it then no big deal other than it adds a little weight and cost to the stock. If you do need to adjust it, it's there for you.

That's my opinion.

Adj cheek is certainly not a requirement for good shooting.

very much of a personal preference issue--

George tends to prefer non adjustable, whereas I tend to prefer adjustable cheek welds.

I suggest adding the adjustment--costs more but adds weight on the ass end of the stock for a little better balance, plus if you never use it, then leave it down and it will not interfere with your shooting.
