Will be needing a Rem mountain contour so that won’t help with weight loss. Would a McMillian Edge be a better bet for lighter weight? Manner and McMillan have come out lighter for me than AG. About $100 more dollars and much longer weight times is the downside

Have been contemplating a CAT (26 oz) but if it was +5 oz it would end up being 31 oz. Yes I was a little disappointed. I wish I would of weighed the two alpine models but didn’t. Has anyone else weighed their AG ? Since it’s only a sample of two I would love to hear more feedback from other people. I have two Alpines, one has QD sockets and weighs 32oz with the forward pic rail. The other has the tripod ready aluminum block in the forearm, but no we cups and weights 33oz with the forward pic rail.

The Fieldcraft has a cheekpiece. I'm pretty sure the Fieldcraft stock is the Carbon All Terrain (CAT) model. I agree. The Sportsman I have is wider and more squared off bottom of forend. The Fieldcraft stock is much slimmer and rounded off on bottom. ETA: Looks like the CAT has the same forend width as the Sportsman. 1.75". The Privateer has a slimmer forend at 1.51", but no cheekpiece like the Fieldcraft. Last edited by 257heaven; 01/30/21. Sent from my Dingleberry Handheld Wireless

Weighed 29oz. Inletting was better on these two. I spoke to AG’s customer service about a few stocks being over advertised weight, they want everyone to know if you have any issues to please contact them! My first privateer I had a minor hiccup. It wasn’t AG’s fault but they sent me a shipping label, took care of the issue and sent it right back. Customer service sells products, I ordered two more. Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

Both I have received so far have a step up about 3/4” from the rear of the inlet. Like they didn’t run the end mill all the way to the end of the inlet. Anybody else see that? And did you go ahead and Dremel it down so it’s all even? Or leave the step up? The first one, I Dremeled it down, and there’s still a little play With the mag between the release lever and the feed rails. I think it can go a little deeper. I checked the AG against a Manners I have for M4, and sure enough, there was more space on the AG, i.e.: the rear pillar was longer on the AG. Sent from my Dingleberry Handheld Wireless

In regards to the mag release. I have a ptg flush mount m5 and a Hawkins flush mount m5. The mag release on the Hawkins is slightly longer or “deeper in the mag well” than the ptg. So the ptg may rattle a touch and the Hawkins is tight. Last edited by wagner; 02/02/21. Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

I'll see how they feed and adjust accordingly. Sent from my Dingleberry Handheld Wireless

I thought the fieldcraft stock was proprietary but the CAT was close - I don’t have a CAT to compare but it sounds like you did? Agree on wildcat shipping. 👎

In comparing it to a side-by-side with McM Game Hunter and the Mesa Attitude, the 'squarish' bottom of the forend is what turned me off. I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

The forearm profile is one of my favorite things about the Alpine. I find the Game Hunter is too rounded, making it harder to mount picatinny and Arca rails to..and it just doesn't ride a bag or pack as well.
