There are a lot of buttstock options out there, and while the M4 style Rock River on our recent Patrol Rifle build was adequate, we were looking for a little more. It seems like Magpul is quite the rage these days, and with light-weight and high quality parts, they've earned their popularity. But we decided to use this build to go a different way. We chose a few metrics to guide our decision: 1) Comfort and fit 2) Quality 3) Price 4) Good looking.
After testing a few buttstocks in our inventory and at the range, we chose a Tactical Intent TI-7. This buttstock has a lot going for it. For starters, it has cheek support similar to the sopmod stock, which provides superior cheek-weld and stability. Underneath the cheek support are two tubes that hold AA batteries or whatever you can stuff in them. The plugs do not come out by accident, and yet they can be easily removed with gloved hands. Perhaps the profile that most identifies this as a TI is the rounded toe-plate. Unlike the straight edges of all the other buttstocks on the market, the TI has a rounded toe which fits perfectly in the shoulder socket. Overall, the comfort of this stock was superior to the other seven buttstocks we tested. The commercial-spec version we purchased to fit our buffer tube fit perfectly. It is a very high-quality build, easily matching anything we've purchased from Magpul, and it is quite handsome. But what really sets the TI apart is the price - at $80 it undercuts most of the competition, while providing higher value. Highly recommend this buttstock!
