If you’re looking to upgrade a factory rifle into a tuned precision or tactical rig, the Archangel AA1500 Precision Stock (UPC 708279012235) is purpose-built to get you there.

Built for Weatherby Vanguard & Howa 1500 Short Action Rifles

This Archangel Precision stock is designed as a drop-in fit for:

• Weatherby Vanguard short action rifles

• Howa 1500 and Smith & Wesson 1500 short actions

• Chambered in standard .308-based cartridges (e.g., .308 Win, .243 Win, 7mm-08, etc.) Palmetto State Armory+2Engineered Accessories+2

That means you can take a trusted hunting or varmint rifle and upgrade it to a precision-ready chassis-style stock without complex fitting or heavy gunsmithing.

Aluminum Pillar Bedded for Consistent Accuracy

At the heart of the AA1500 is its aluminum pillar bedding system, which stabilizes the action and helps maintain zero: OpticsPlanet+2Palmetto State Armory+2

• Embedded aluminum pillars support the action and prevent stock compression under torque, helping maintain consistent bedding over time.

• A precision-fit inlet cradles the action tightly, reducing stress points and contributing to improved accuracy potential. OpticsPlanet+1

• Designed as a true precision stock, not just a cosmetic replacement.

For shooters working on groups at distance or dialing dope for steel, this bedding design is a major step up from typical injection-molded factory stocks.

Rugged Synthetic Construction – Carbon Fiber & Glass Reinforced

The stock body is molded from Archangel’s proprietary carbon fiber and glass–reinforced black polymer, delivering outstanding durability while keeping weight reasonable: OpticsPlanet+2Palmetto State Armory+2

• Tough, weatherproof synthetic—impervious to moisture, humidity, and standard gun solvents and oils. OpticsPlanet+1

• Resistant to warping and swelling, unlike some traditional wood stocks.

• Overall weight: approximately 4.8 pounds, balanced to support prone and bench shooting while remaining field-capable. Engineered Accessories

If you shoot in variable climates or want a stock that will shrug off abuse, this construction is made for it.

Adjustable Cheek Riser & Length of Pull – Custom-Fit Ergonomics

One of the AA1500’s standout features is its fully adjustable cheek riser and length of pull, allowing you to dial-in fit for your body and optic height:

• Cheek riser:

  • Thumbwheel click adjustment

  • 1.5" of vertical travel in 0.05" increments, so you can fine-tune cheek weld for scopes with varying ring heights and objective sizes. Palmetto State Armory+2Engineered Accessories+2

• Length of pull (LOP):

  • Thumbwheel adjustable from approximately 13.5" to 14.625" Palmetto State Armory+2Engineered Accessories+2

  • Lets you tailor the rifle to your body size, clothing layers, or shooting style.

These adjustments make the stock ideal for shared rifles, long training sessions, and shooters who want a perfect heads-up, repeatable position behind their optic.

Integrated Detachable Magazine System (Type A)

The AA1500 doesn’t just change your ergonomics—it also converts compatible rifles to use a detachable box magazine:

• Built-in integral magwell accepts Archangel Type A detachable magazines. Palmetto State Armory+2OpticsPlanet+2

• Includes one 10-round .308-based blue steel magazine (AA308 Type A) in many packages. OpticsPlanet+2Palmetto State Armory+2

• Rear paddle magazine release allows quick mag changes while maintaining a secure, positive lockup. Palmetto State Armory+2Forza Sports+2

This conversion is a significant upgrade for anyone moving from internal box magazines to a more tactical, competition-ready setup.

Free-Float Barrel Channel for Most Contours

Accuracy gets another boost from the AA1500’s free-float barrel channel:

• Varmint-sized channel is cut to accept and free-float most barrel contours, from standard sporter to heavier varmint profiles. Palmetto State Armory+2Engineered Accessories+2

• Keeping the barrel free of stock contact helps maintain consistent harmonics and point of impact, especially during longer strings of fire.

If you’re upgrading to or already running a heavier contour barrel, this stock is ready to support it.

Built-In Flush-Fit Bipod – Ready When You Are

A unique feature of the AA1500 is its integrated, flush-fit forend bipod:

• Fully internal design—tucks into the forend when not in use, keeping the rifle streamlined with no external legs to snag. Palmetto State Armory+2Engineered Accessories+2

• Push-button, one-hand deployment, so you can drop into a stable shooting position quickly. Palmetto State Armory+2Engineered Accessories+2

• Textured feet for better grip and stability on natural surfaces. Ammunition Depot+1

This built-in bipod is a huge plus for field shooting, varminting, and impromptu precision work where you may not want to carry a separate bipod.

QD Sling Hardpoints & Practical Field Features

The Archangel AA1500 includes several thoughtful touches that support real-world carry and shooting:

• Three steel, flush-fit QD sling hardpoints for modern push-button QD sling swivels (swivels not included). OpticsPlanet+2Engineered Accessories+2

• Off-hand pressure hook on the buttstock for added rear support from your support hand when prone or benched. Palmetto State Armory+1

• Wide, sloped forend optimized for sandbags, packs, or rests, with a textured surface for better grip and control. Palmetto State Armory+1

• Ergonomic gooseneck grip with palm swells, flared base, and a locking storage compartment for small tools or batteries. Palmetto State Armory+2Engineered Accessories+2

These features make the stock equally comfortable in precision bench work, prone shooting, and practical field positions.
