Re: exocet finally arrived

Got an old Exocet (circa 2000 I think). Changed to molded limbs,fowarded riser for 200 lbs. Added a trimmed rifle cheek piece with double sided tape and a trigger shoe. It fits me to a "T". My oldest grandson shoots an exomag but the old Exocet is mine!

cheek piece install

I have a carved limb exocet that now wears a forward riser and molded limbs upgrade. I'd like to add a factory cheek piece(got a homemade foam one now). How difficult is it to cut a cheek piece to fit the old stocks?? Or should I just be happy with my homemade one....

Weight Removal

Just got an equinox 225#. I like the overall feel but that extra weight out front of the disappator bars and s5's sure makes it feel lots heavier than my carved limb exocet. Has anyone taken the bars and s5's off and been just as happy ???
