Agreed. The 527's stock makes it difficult to use a scope- and a Grendel really needs a scope to live up to its potential. The first thing I did was refinish the stock since my wood wasn't as nice as some anyway. That of course didn't help and the wood still sucked. So, I bought a aftermarket laminate stock from Boyds. I hollowed out the butt and opened up the forarm to lighten it up some-still no help. I played with different rings some and finally setteled on Millet rings. I put a Blackhawk nylon cheek piece on-the one wih a little pocket on the far side to store a spare clip. I am now left with a very functional Grendel 527 carbine, not as pretty as some, but it's as light and fast as a 30 30 and can hit waaay out there.
