Looking to put a fixed stock on my coming build. Not looking for a standard A2/A1 butt stock. I know of the two magpul selections, but not really sure about the PRS. What are some other good options? Looking mainly for lightweight, but with a good/decent cheek weld. Don't really like the ACE offerings. Any ideas?

Have you tried the Ace or just disregarded it off looks ? I have the PRS and the Ace. I bought the PRS first because I dint like the Ace, judging by looks. A friend of mine had an Ace and after a hands on experience with it I had to have 1.
Mako has a lightweight fixed snipe stock but it's a little expensive. http://www.themakogroup.com/product_p/ssr25.htm
Here are a few more options

Check out my Ace in the thread I just posted, my favorite stock. They are light, plus just look cool, to me at least. I wish they could do it with a monopod but since they don't, I'm working on one to adapt to the stock myself.

With my 20" Lilja build I'm going with the ACE M4 Socom Stock

Honestly, i don't like the feel of it. Don't like the foam. Also don't like the lack of qd socket.

I switched out the ARFX for a Magpul MOE fixed on my 6.5, its very light and accepts a QD socket (available at an additional cost) and also several different length butt pads so you can adjust the length of pull. So far I really like it. The cheek weld is good as the sides are not round but somewhat tapered for more contact. I'm experimenting around with adding a QD socket to the ARFX for my 308 as I like that stock as well. The PRS is a good stock but adds considerable weight.

+1 on what JohnOD says. My nephew and I just put together a lower with the Magpul Rifle stock. I like it. BCM has them in FDE and Foliage for $57 right now. Black is out of stock. Here's a review. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/10/foghorn/gear-review-magpul-moe-fixed-rifle-stock/

This would be my choice if weight and/or budget is a consideration. Otherwise the Magpul PRS is a good.

My next build is getting an ACE instead of the PRS, especially if kg4kgp gets a mono mount fabricated for them. Maybe a different cheek riser too.
Nothing against the PRS, I like mine. It is just heavy.

I like the PRS for long barreled rifles it helps balance out the gun. Good for a long range shooter. But i wouldnt want to carry it around all the time through the woods. Its an adjustable stock but i like the Magpul UBR its solid.

Got one last week, I'm a fan of all of the ACE Stocks, rock solid and light weight.

The PRS is what I'm pairing up with my 24" Grendel, whats a few more pounds, less to wiggle around.

I have PRS stocks on both of my Grendel AR's. But, they're heavy as stocks go. I have an RRA Operator A2 stock in the parts box. Really nice fixed stock....
