I've been getting my new Tik TAC A1 dialed in, ~150 rounds so far and love the rifle. Except for the butt stock. The fixed spacers for LOP and the adjustment for cheek rest has me grumbling.

I realize I'm in the minority, it seems most think the stock is one of the real pluses for this rig. So, talk me out of dumping it for something like a Magpul PRS with easier adjustments. I don't drag this rifle around or hunt with it, so weight isn't a major issue.
 
In my opinion, the Magpul PRS gen 3 is the greatest buttstock ever. Nothing like letting a buddy use a rifle, they can adjust it on the fly for themself, then you can get it back and readjust it in seconds. I'm not a magpul fanboy like most, but I am a believer in the magpul prs stock.

If I had the money right now, I'd put prs stocks on every single long range rifle I own.

The cheek rest on the PRS3 doesn’t have enough height for a lot of bolt guns. It works on the RPR because the bolt axis is in line with the stock attachment tube. It doesn’t come close on my Savage and I think it would be about a centimeter short on the Tikka.
