New products 2020 – If at Shot, please stop by and take a look at the MCS Booth#20005

PRS-TCS ( Tunable Competition Stock )
The new PRS-TCS was developed exclusively for precision rifle competitions. It was designed from the ground
up with the ultimate goal of creating a fully weight-tunable stock to achieve the perfect balanced competition
rifle while using a wide range of barreled action combinations. The PRS-TCS is loaded with standard out-of-the
box-options not found on other stocks. Standard configuration of the PRS-TCS with the supplied weights is 5 lb 9oz.
A weight of 8 lb 11 oz can be achieved with the optional steel rail and by adding additional weights. The action
area of this stock is lowered so there is no need for a port or side release cut to fit most actions. It is designed for
all Remington-based right or left hand short actions only. This is a base model with more options to come in the
near future. Full specs and details available soon on the web page.

Please stop the booth at the shot show for full details and specs, also we have some of the new PRS-TCS stocks in
the Defiance booth # 1644 and the GAP #20005, Thank all you guys from the hide very much for all your support over
years. With out you guys we would not be where we are at and growing every year. We strive hard every year to
improve on our designs and products.

Weight tunable 2-way adjustable butt system. Comes standard with 1 10-oz balance weight. The base system without
the balance weight adds about 18 oz to the base stock. Depending on LOP, optional additional weights can be added for a
max rear weight of about 2 lbs 12 ounces. To accommodate the extra stress put on the stock by the tunable weight
system, the butt section of the stock is over engineered with a full wrap around shell.

Weight-tunable Area 419/MCS Arca rail system. Comes standard in aluminum with one 2.9 ounce weight.
Rail is designed for weight to be moved front to back to achieve perfect balance. Optional steel version also
available. Both rails will hold a maximum of five weights which allows up to a total of 2lbs 2ounces to
be added to the fore end of the stock depending on options.

One new option developed for the PRS-TCS is the Sikes Clutch, designed by team
shooter and RET US Army SF sniper Bryan Sikes. The Clutch aids in the rifle control by having a
front post to help manage recoil & have a consistent hold for your rifle. With 5 available positions
you can quickly and easily place the Clutch in your desired location and remove it when not
needed. The holes also double as convenient flush cups to maximize the available real estate
on your stock.

MCS-CS 10/22
The MCS-CS 10-22 was designed with the same built-in features as the standard MCS-CS. A compact
platform and a quickly deployable butt system make it the perfect stowable truck gun. An added
feature of the CS 10-22 is a smaller than standard grip. This grip, along with an lop of 10.25" to 13.5",
makes it ideal for the youth shooter. Designed for the factory 10-22 and most after-market custom
actions.

MCS-CP ( competition pistol )
The MCS-CP was designed in a joint venture with Vapor Trail Bullets to be a long range
hunting/competition pistol platform. This stock will accept any Remington-based 700 short
or XP-100/Seven based action and barrels up to 1.25" straight.

I really want to like this stock, the TCS that is. I have two pieces of feedback, neither of which are dealbreakers just some potential user feedback.

First, is there anything else that can be used besides those big knobs for the LOP and comb height adjustments? Something more streamlined maybe?

second, are there longer fire end options? For me I don’t like the ARCA rail hanging past the fore end. This is just a personal preference but IMO looks better.

I still believe this was a homerun of a stock though.

I agree, I don’t like the trend of the ARCA rails extending past the forend. Is there an option to have a slightly shortened one maybe?

 

[RobertB]

@RobertB will the PRS-TCS be compatible with the Ingenuity rail inlet?

Not sure on that one. We will have to try one but they look super think holding it up to it

so the knobs are accessories but definitely not mandatory. Mine still adjusts with Allen keys

the rails come pre machines. The guy may be able to supply somethat match the length. Just keep in mind we are working with the masses and it seems that’s what most people want. We know everyone is different but when making parts we want to appeal to as many as possible.

I hope this helps

Yep like I said just some feedback. None of which are deal breakers. Still think it was one of the best new products.

Does the TCS have to have the mini chassis or can it have any inlet to allow for bedding? This is a great system for a PRS and the 700 footprint is the king but I run Kelby's Black Bear actions.

I believe the TCS is a brand new, dedicated mini chassis for this stock only and cannot be ordered with a different inlet. Ideally this will speed up their build time on them if they are all identical.

 

[m6z]

When will the 2020 group buy start?

 

[craigos]

does the mcs 10-22 come with a cheek piece to adjust DOC?

 

[Midpack]

@tmanners @RobertB what is the grip spacing on the tcs? The images it looks rather far but i know that can be deceiving.

 

[littlepod]

Was there some sort of raffle to be posted? Did I miss it?

Hello sir, right now they are only available in the chassis version as that is part of the rail on the bottom. We may have some other versions in the future but right now we went with the chassis as most people seem to prefer that.

 

[RobertB]

When will the 2020 group buy start?

I would think that would be fairly quick. We usually do it in Feb sometime.

 

[RobertB]

does the mcs 10-22 come with a cheek piece to adjust DOC?

It doesn't but it has an optional cheek pc as most CS stocks are ordered with it. Please let me know if you have any other questions on it.

We did a name pick on FB that resulted in a free stock to the winner. That is the only thing we've done so far to my knowledge. I know that Lowlight and another thread have something going on but I'm not sure what it is. We only donated the stock for the cause. We are big fans of the Hide and love working with the community.

More in line with Manners prices LOL, but that question was directed at RobertB .

 

[Basher]

Perhaps I missed it, but is the Arca rail on the TCS a standard Arca, or is it Area419's Arca Lock? I can't tell from the photos. If it's not Arca Lock, is that an option? Thanks!

Nice, thank you for clarifying!

 

[Midpack]

@tmanners @RobertB is the clutch if you opt to add it installed on just one side or both of the tcs, or would you have to order two in order to be able to use the efr you guys are making for it
