The number one complaint of the M24 is indeed the contour of the stock, which DEMANDS a cheekpiece in order to get the eye level with the scope. Of course, there is no comparison when it comes to the cheekpiece. (I know, that is not good practice, but I’m tired of fighting the stock, and it doesn’t effect my shooting noticeably). In fact, the locking ring system on the M24 is cumbersome, I sometimes ignore it and shoot at whatever setting the stock is at. With all the shooting over a 3 week period, I never had a problem of the stock moving out of adjustment. There is no lock ring, just a hefty amount of friction to keep the length fixed. The adjustment for length of pull is a much better design then the M24’s stock (also made by HS Precision). The finish on the stock is a matte rough texture, and provides a very positive grip, and appears to be very durable. It is fully adjustable for both length of pull and cheekpiece. The stock on the Heavy Tactical Rifle (Referred to as HTR from here on out) is a work of beauty. This corrected the problem, and the rifle shot beautifully for the remainder of the eval. We were fortunate enough to have a second M24 on lone to our company for this training, and proceeded to replace the Veri-X III with the Ultra Mk4 M3A from the second M24. I believe a serious drop or something happened during the shipment of the rifle. Generally these scopes are of the highest quality, but for some reason this particular scope would not group worth a darn. The rifle was shipped with a Leupold Veri-X III 4.5-14x40mm Scope. ![]() The three weeks in which I evaluated the rifle was both rewarding and exciting. HS Precision (Thanks Patricia!) was kind enough to lend me a HS Precision Series 2000 HTR for evaluation while attending some additional sniper training. The review below was performed in the 1990s, obviously, many things have changed since then… not the least of which is the quality and thoroughness of our reviews! Hopefully you will still enjoy it! Metal Finish: Pro-Series PFTE Matte Black. ![]()
