AEA Custom Stock Design and Build For the Zeus.

Why? I do not have any data on the Zeus recoil and have not shot mine yet. I am waiting on a piece of AR500 plate to add to my back stop.

If you compare muzzle energy of the Zeus to most center fire cartridges it will be less. Even a typical 5.56 55gt round is producing over 1200fpe.

I have big bores kick, but the impulse speed of the kick is slower than a center fire round

Like getting kicked by a slow mule vs a fast one….they both knock you on your butt, one just happens faster…lol
Beautiful work Loren. That style of muzzle brake will definitely put a harness on that mule kick. I've tested a 457 Challenger with and without the big muzzle brake and there's definitely a lot of difference in recoil.
 
First coat of oil :) Still a long way to go but getting there.

My new stock is absolute 🔥🔥🔥 It turned my Zeus into the most beautiful airgun I've ever seen, and made it waaaay more functional. The weight and length is more balanced, she doesn't feel so front-heavy. And she shoulders much better. The higher and longer comb is actually usable now and is streamlined with the rest of the gun, which changes everything, taking the tension off of your neck, and adding stability into your shoulder. The longer forearm creates more usable areas, while reducing that long tank look in the process. Diamond outdid themselves here.

Absolutely breathtaking.
