The Strike Nuke Stock was designed to be a blend of highly ergonomic benchrest stocks and lightweight hunting stocks, ensuring that the rifle outfitted with almost everything a precision shooter needs. The buttstock is adjustable for length of pull, recoil pad height, and features a tool-less adjustable cheek piece. The R7 Shepherd’s grip features a pistol like design allowing for a comfortable grip when shooting from the prone position. The bottom metal features an enlarged trigger guard for shooting with gloved hands and is AICS magazine compatible.
