Looking for something that won't be disqualifying but is good and solid. Want to be able to adjust between stages at the matches to compensate for different positions.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Nothing wrong with a fixed A2 stock. I started with one, and then went to a UBR Gen1, then back to A2. I found that I never needed to adjust my UBR stock. The only thing I adjust is my sling from sitting to prone.
I think the A2 stock bites into my coat better, and cycles the rifle more reliably, thats why I went back.
Creedmoor sports also sells both the Gen1 and Gen2 UBR's, and the mega-weights.
I have 2 lowers, one with a UBR Gen 1 w/mega weight and extension weight from WOA, and the other is an A2 fixed. I have experienced cycling issues with the UBR. I was using AR Comp, and have heard of others having the same issues. I tried different weight buffers and spring combinations and still had the same issue. The rifle would short stroke, or fail to lock back. Can't have that in EIC matches. I'm switching to 8208XBR this year. I think the the rifle length gas system and carbine recoil system don't work well together sometimes. I have always had better reliability with the A2 stock. This is my experience. Not saying it's going to happen to you.
