Best AR-10 Stocks
1. Magpul STR
My favorite adjustable stock is the Magpul STR when weight is not a problem. You’re probably not running and gunning with your AR-10!
It gives the best cheek weld out of all the tested adjustable stocks…check it out when compared with a regular Magpul MOE buttstock.
It’s a little heavier at 12.5 ounces but this heft balances out the more front-heavy AR-10…plus it works well with a rear sandbag. Rear is the same footprint with mild rubber that stays put when needed and doesn’t snag.
I got introduced to this one when I got my PSA AR-10 in .308 (full review) and it also worked great when I got a 6.5 Creedmoor upper too.
My pick if you want a super nice (and repeatable) cheek weld. But still, some adjustability to lower the overall length of your AR-10.

2. Luth-AR MBA-1
Looking for the best bang-for-the-buck fixed AR-10 stock? It’s probably the Luth-AR MBA-1.
Tons of adjustability and a decent cheek weld. Check it out when compared to the MOE.
Rear footprint is roughly the same as the MOE and has the same nice textured rubber.
It’s what I’ve been using on my Aero M5E1 .308 for a while now (full review).
Plus…you can’t beat it for the price…especially when compared to my favorite at the end.

3. Magpul PRS
Now in its 3rd generation…the Magpul PRS is the gold standard for AR-10 stocks.
SUPER sturdy with a heft of 31 ounces. You’re not going to be humping your AR-10 around much.
Now you’re rewarded with a true quality feel and nice adjustments in length-of-pull and cheek weld. Though the cheek weld isn’t the best out of all the picks.
Rear is bigger to absorb the likely harsher recoil of the AR-10 compared to the AR-15.
Here it is on my 6.5 Creedmoor from PSA (full review).
If you value stability and adjustability…while giving up a little bit in cheekweld and weight. The PRS is for you.

Love your website. I’d like to see a review on the fab defense RAPS-C stock and B5 adjustable precision stock sometime.
I also like the Magpul PRS Lite. requires a tool to adjust the comb height, but its lighter, and a lot less $$
The MagPul MOE-SL adjustable, for the price is far superior.
I got mine for around $30, including shipping. Very secure fit.
Includes QD mounts.
What's the stock that's on the DPMS LR 308 ???
The original was a fixed A2 military style with storage hatch. It works well with a lead weight you can buy or just put your cleaning kit in there as I do. The A2 works great on sandbags. Your long-range capability is only as far as your scope ($) can take you accurately. If you have a LR-308 you have a nice start at long range hunting.
When I searched for "Rifle" stocks, I meant Fixed Rifle Stock, NOT CARBINE ADJUSTABLE STOCKS!
B5 Systems Collapsible Precision Stock?
When I think of AR10s, I’m thinking long range and/or precision shooting. The MFT minimalist stock is not ideal for either. Doesn’t balance well and has minimal cheek weld. I often question the people who write these articles.
I used the Magpul PRS on my AR10. The cheek riser interfered with the charging handle and I had to trim about a half inch off the forward edge to make it work. Otherwise, it works just fine.
No LMT DMR Stock?
Your muzzle brakes link at the end is bad. It just links back to this article.
Hey Alan, thanks for bringing that to our attention! It's been fixed.
Hello. My Buddy wants to build a ar-10, and wants to b able to Shoot Distance. Maybe out to 600 yards. Can you Recommend a Barrel, length, and twist? Thanks!
What the opinion on the Magpul MOE Rifle Stock? I’ve got an Aero build, minus the stock. Glad I stumbled onto this review, as I didn’t know about the Luth AR stock.
I think you missed the most obvious choice for an AR10, the MFT Battlelink Minimalist stock. AR10s are heavy pigs and need all the weight reduction they can get. With a rifle length gas system they are suprisingly gentle to shoot....at least for a 308.
I really like the Minimalist for my AR-15 but for me it makes the balance of the heavier AR-10 feel really off.
