Best part of a ebr is customizing the cheek weld and length of pull to fit you (big plus for me) can't express how much of a game changer that was for me. Free floats the barrel without bedding which is great. Downside is locking it in, once it's in its solid but I haven't taken it out yet and I'm not looking forward to the day that I do. I was gonna get a McMillan stock and have it bedded but than I wouldn't be able to adjust the length of pull and cheek weld. Since I've gotten the ebr I haven't looked back cheers
