The Hogue Overmolded is supposed to be good in that regard. It's what I am going to get for my Blackout SBR which was approved last week. I still need to buy an upper and other goodies for it though.
My only beard-safe stock is also the most expensive and heavy-Magpul UBR.
Yeah, I saw that one, I'm not paying that much to keep from pinching my beard. Everything else, including the Hogue that Netpackrat suggested are the same general design, sliding over the buffer tube. It's the gap between the buffer tube and the stock that grabs my hair. So I guess I will just learn to live with it, because I like the adjustability. If it gets too unberable, I can always shave the beard off. :shock:

I did, however, luck in to a good deal on the CMC trigger I posted about earlier. I remembered that I still hadn't used my birthday discount from MidwayUSA, so I was able to get one ordered before the discount expired. I should have it in about a week.

a factory bolt action should do 1MOA or better in a 5 shot group with appropriate commercial ammunition, with a good scope, all the way out to where it goes transonic.
If the least accurate of my centerfire bolt guns wasn't more accurate than the best AK I've ever seen, I'd have it melted down for scrap. I'd be too embarrassed to give it away.

Put a piece of rigger's tape over the drain hole, that will cut down on the beard-nomming as much as possible without affecting function. If you only shoot at one length, put another piece over the buffer tube/stock junction.
