Using a honeycomb pattern of collapsible voids, it draws out the time component of recoil, taking away the sharp kick. This one-of-a-kind pad is the first in the industry to be 3D printed at a production level. When paired with PEAK 44’s 3DHEX recoil pad the Bastion mitigates recoil so you can stay on target. The Bastion goes beyond saving weight, it's also superior at managing recoil. That lighter weight fill allows the Bastion to weigh in at just 24 ounces, for a stock that's not only going to impress at the range but is a joy to carry in the backcountry. Engaging the front recoil lug, this slip of carbon fiber transfers recoil impulses to the outer shell, enabling the Bastion to utilize a much lighter fill material than other composite stocks. Like the Blacktooth, the Bastion is built around the ROCK SOLID CARBON LINK™ which is PEAK 44’s patent-pending carbon fiber bedding shelf. It features an ultra-comfortable vertical grip, designed for the long-range shooter who depends on superior accuracy but can’t afford added bulk and unnecessary weight. The Bastion is the newest option in PEAK 44’s lineup of lightweight carbon fiber stocks.
