Bag rider

Made my own. You could too maybe?
9mm alloy plate and 20mm stainless bar.
Hard part was the hacksaw and file job to shape the alloy. Used the factory supplied plastic spacer as a pattern.
Maybe 2 to 3 hours to make and not too many $$.
Took it off after the photo and polished the alloy to make it all look good.

In my opinion, the factory buttstock has a nice visual appearance but is a very poor design.
There is a grand total of one m-lok slot on the bottom of the buttstock which is barely good enough for a mono pod but not very substantial for a bag rider.

I hated the buttstock deign so much I scrapped the whole thing and machined my own on my milling machine.
The first annoying thing I noticed was when bore sighting for my scope install, with the bolt out, you can't see down the bore, the recoil pad area blocks your view. But the main reason for all the hate is the gymnastics you have to do when bore cleaning. When using a bore guide, you have to flex the cleaning rod over the recoil pad area, not good practice in my book. If you want a straight shot with a cleaning rod, you have to remove about 16-20 different screws to remove the buttstock from the chassis, what a monumental pain in the ass.

I truly believe that whoever designed the Oryx buttstock never used a bore guide and cleaning rod to clean the bore of a barrel in the Oryx chassis.
