Description
The Archangel AA1500SA is a drop-in precision stock built for the Howa 1500, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Weatherby Vanguard short action platforms chambered in .308 Winchester and other cartridges based on the .308 case head, with a max overall length of 2.815 inches. It swaps out your factory stock and instantly upgrades both the fit and the feel of the rifle, and it works just as well banging steel at the range as it does packed into the field for a hunt.
What the Archangel AA1500SA Brings to Your Rifle
The backbone here is aluminum pillar bedding paired with a varmint-sized barrel channel that free-floats most barrel contours. That combination is what gives you consistent, repeatable accuracy shot after shot, since the barrel isn't fighting the stock for every group. The whole shell is molded from carbon fiber and glass-reinforced polymer, so it shrugs off weather, solvents, and oils without complaint. It's a tough piece that holds zero and holds up.
Dialing In the Fit
Where this stock really earns its keep is adjustability. The cheek riser clicks up in .05 inch increments with 1.5 inches of total travel, so you can lock in a proper cheek weld behind whatever optic you're running. Length of pull adjusts from 13.5 to 14.6 inches, which covers a wide range of body types and shooting positions. Up front you get an ergonomic gooseneck grip with palm swells, a ventilated and textured forend, and even a locking storage compartment tucked into the buttstock.
Feeding and Mounting the AA1500SA
An integral magwell lets the factory action run a double-column detachable magazine, and the stock ships with one TYPE D 7-round polymer magazine that includes a 5-round limiter. The bottom of the forend carries two M-LOK slots for a rail, bipod, or light, and three flush-fit steel QD hardpoints handle your sling setup. Made in the USA, it's a straightforward way to bring modern chassis-style features to a rifle you already trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles does the Archangel AA1500SA precision stock fit?
It's designed for the Howa 1500, Smith & Wesson 1500, and Weatherby Vanguard short action rifles. It's built around cartridges based on the .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 case head with a max overall length of 2.815 inches, so calibers like .243 Win and 7mm-08 fall into that same family. Double-check your specific barrel contour against the varmint-sized channel before ordering.
Does the Archangel AA1500SA come with a magazine?
Yes. It ships with one TYPE D Archangel Precision Short Action polymer magazine that holds 7 rounds and comes with a 5-round limiter installed. The integral magwell lets your factory action feed from that double-column detachable mag, which is a nice upgrade over a fixed floorplate.
Is the AA1500SA a drop-in install or does it need gunsmithing?
It's designed as a drop-in replacement stock, so most folks can swap it over with basic hand tools and their factory action. The aluminum pillar bedding and free-floating barrel channel do the heavy lifting for accuracy once it's bolted in. Just clear the barreled action, transfer it over, torque your action screws to spec, and you're set.
Can I mount a bipod on the Archangel AA1500SA?
Absolutely. The bottom of the forend has two M-LOK slots that accept a rail, bipod, or light. You also get three flush-fit steel QD hardpoints for a sling, though QD swivels are not included.
