I never liked the ATI forend (not to mention the stud hole in mine is slightly crooked / off center...), but I bought the set for the stock only. I really like it. My 5'3" GF also shoots it occasionally and she likes the adjustability. Though I tend to shoot with about a 12" LOP, despite my 6'2" wingspan (just used to short LOPs with long guns). One of the main reasons I bought it, though, was for the compactness. Though I go back and forth about this stock vs my shortened Survivor stock (second pic). It is about 30" or so with the Survivor stock (shortened to I think a 12 or 12.5" LOP with the butt pad), and 28.5" with the collapsed ATI stock. The only real thing I don't like about the Survivor stock, though, is it is harder to grab a hold of when unslinging.
