I saw one of these the other day: Battleline Industries SAPR and was thinking it would be useful. Using a 50mm scope in a declinated base it's hard to get a cheek weld. Does anyone have one they could report on? Pictures of it in action maybe?
Has anyone used the Battleline SAPR to get a better cheek weld?

I can't remember who did it, but there was a pretty thorough review on it here, not long ago. I'm definitely ordering one for my OBR.
I prefer to lower the optic if at all possible versus using a cheekrest. I'm using a nightforce unimount, the low model. I want to say that it is a 1.125 height, but google it to make sure. With a 50mm nightforce, I just barely have enough clearance over the hand guard, and it puts the optic at a great height. The hand guard is an apex without the top rail, which gives some more clearance too.
I'll get you some pictures this afternoon. I somehow managed to lose the tension screw that locks in the cheekpiece once you get the height set, before I even used the damn thing.
Fortunately, Josh over at Battleline got a couple of screws in the mail as soon as I called him, so I'm good to go now. If you have a large objective and an AR handguard that just prevents you from getting your scope down low, this is the way to go!

The SAPR is an awesome product and works great.
Josh shaved a lot of weight off the unit from the original so you have a nice balance to it. The adjustability just screams accuracy as you can set the rifle up to shoot and not compromise with your precision AR
SOPMOD or Magpul, a worthy addition

Some of us can not use a lower mount. If you have a front mount NV or even some back mount NV then you need to be at 1.5 or even higher with your optic. The 1.5" is the current hight for most front mount Night Vision so you need to mount your scope at that hight. It is nice to have the SAPR to give your a great cheek rest for your scope day or night.
Ok... Interested..... Wonder how much

Rainier Arms was running a sale on these for a bit. I'm a big fan of the SAPR, I have it on my MATEN's Magpul CTR stock, and I get a comfortable, consistent cheekweld with it.
Josh at Battleline has excellent customer service skills. When I called to request a replacement for the tension screw I had lost, he took the time to ask my thoughts on the product and find out if it was meeting my needs. He also promptly got a couple of replacement screws mailed out to me.
The only changes I would/plan to make is adding a thumbscrew to make it easier to adjust the cheekrest height, and possibly some sort of foam on the cheekrest itself, just as insulation for shooting on those cold-as-a-witches-tit winter days.

I wonder what the big diff is between the sapper sopmod and the sapper sopmod gen2.... Doesnt really say on the website
Hey Guys,
Lots of questions here on the S.A.P.R., thanks Lowlight for answering them. Just so everyone is clear on the difference regarding the SOPMOD Gen 1 & Gen 2 S.A.P.R. (Stock Attachment Precision Rifle). the Gen 1 S.A.P.R. for the SOPMOD stock is 17.5 ounces and the Gen 2 S.A.P.R. for SOPMOD is 11.75 ounces. This is the only difference, the fit and function is the same. On the Gen 1 S.A.P.R. for the Magpul version we started with the lightweight option from the beginning and it only weighs 12 ounces. We sell them on our website and the Gen 1 SOPMOD S.A.P.R. is marked down to make new room for the Gen 2's. Rainier Arms is our master distributor at this time and they run sales on the S.A.P.R. occasionally.

Elfster,
I understand some people think the price is to high and we did our best to be competitive with the market. We looked at the Magpul PRS which is a good product for the right application, MSRP from Magpuls website is $255.00
Our S.A.P.R. combined with a Magpul MOE stock is $260 MSRP, so we are $5 more than a PRS and you get a collapsible option, lighter weight, as well as more adjustment, fit and flexibility with the S.A.P.R. The PRS has some limitations compared to the S.A.P.R. and a Magpul collapsible stock combination, i.e. it's not collapsible, it's heavier, you can't move the cheek piece out of the way in a quick manner to access different sight planes and the butt pad section doesn't cant for optimal fit. I think the extra $5 dollars is worth the gain to have all those features just mentioned for the S.A.P.R. Obviously, if you buy any other Magpul collapsible stock the cost starts to go up. In addition, the B5 Systems SOPMOD stock is $94.95 from Rainier Arms and with a S.A.P.R. you are at basically $300 ($45 more than a PRS) for a fully adjustable, collapsible precision rifle stock with storage and lighter weight.
Please understand that I replied to share our thoughts from Battleline Industries and why we do what we do. This post is in no way designed to bash those opinions of elfster or anyone else who has questions why our products are priced the way they are. I just want to educate the public and share our side. Also, this post is not designed to bash Magpul products in any way. They make excellent products and have different applications that they were designed for. I am just pointing out the differences between our product and theirs and the different applications our S.A.P.R. can be used for.
If you have any other questions I am happy to answer them the best I can.
