Will a McMillan A-5 with thumbwheel cheek and spacer system be OK for F(tr) Class matches? Or will the butt hook and spacer system not work well with a rear bag?
The McM website says of the M40-A5 that "the dual purpose butt hook is fully functional for either riding sandbags or controlling the rifle with the non-trigger hand"
Also I guess that you could specify a different butt pad option if you didn't go with the spacers?

If you think about it, something called a "butt hook" should be a pain in the ass, LOL./

The A-5 does not ride the bags very well at all!! This is why i just sold mine. Nice stock and great with a bi-pod but if you are shooting a rifle with any kind of recoil in an a-5 the stock will bounch all over the place. You will have to readjust every time before you can shoot the next shot. Didnt work for me!!!! Not even a little!!! I was shooting a 243AI the recoil just bounced the stock all over the place! Lee
I've decided to stick with the A-5, but I'm gonna order another from McMillan, but without the spacer system this time. I'll put the current stock I have on a PSS I bought a few months ago. It'll eventually make it to GAP for a rebarrel later next year ;>). Thanks to all for your comments.
