Magpul has released the PC Backpacker Stock, designed specifically for, and drop in compatible with, 9 mm Luger and .40 S&W models of the Ruger PC Carbine. With a similar look and function to the X-22 Backpacker stock, the PC Backpacker Stock offers a minimalist solution for the hunter who wants to transport their carbine in an efficient, convenient package.

 

Constructed of Magpul's advanced polymer, the PC Backpacker Stock features M-Lok slots at the three and nine o'clock positions, with interchangeable cheek risers to accommodate for various sighting options. To absorb recoil, the PC Backpacker boasts an MOE SL rubber buttpad, and is further compatible with the MOE SL Enhanced Rubber Buttpad for an additional 3/8" length of pull. The inclusion of multiple QD-cup mounting locations means the Ruger PC Carbine can be carried easily—either broken-down or assembled—with either the Type 1 or 2 Magpul Sling Mount Kit. Finally, as all good survivalist tools should, the stock has two integrated storage locations: a water-resistant grip storage compartment, and a compartment in the riser section, ideal for a single-pistol magazine (up to a PMAG 21 GL9).

 

Technical Specifications:
• Length of Pull: 13.75ʺ
• Weight: 21 oz.
• Width of Butt (max): 1.5ʺ
• Width of Stock (max): 1.788ʺ

The new PC Backpacker Stock is available in Black, Flat Dark Earth, Grey and OD Green, and has an MSRP of $149.95. For more information, visit magpul.com.

#SundayGunday: Chiappa USA Rhino 60DS

On this week's #SudnayGunday, we’re checking out the Chiappa Rhino 60 DS. All it takes is once glance to tell this is not your granddad’s revolver. Chiappa has flipped the script on wheelguns quite literally, aligning the barrel with the bottommost chamber of the cylinder, rather than the top. This low bore axis makes the gun recoil directly back into the hand, rather than pulling the muzzle up and away from your grip. Learn more about it in this exclusive video.

Member's Hunt: The Dogger’s Window

A dogger’s goal while pushing deer is to drive the prey into a pocket formed by others in his gang, those hunters who are posted about a hundred yards apart along strategic locations up to a half-mile away from the dogger’s starting point. When everyone is in position, the dogger weaves his way through the woods into the wind and pocket formed by the other hunters. The approaching sound of the dogger snapping twigs and crunching leaves alerts unsuspecting deer.
