TOM MANNERS' Stocks???

They have the mini done. He posted pictures of it over on the Hide. Works for both the 4.27 and the 4.4 rifles.

Here is what the EH4 looks like with a 16" barrel (yes, the scope rail is on backwards - on purpose).

It was pillar bedded by Manners, as I didn't plan on bedding it right away. You can see that with a bipod, there is not a lot of room on the forearm.

I only have a sample of one, but my experience with Tom Manners and his crew was fantastic. And the stock is amazing.
The mini-chassis is a metal insert for their compsite stocks. It adds the rigidity of a chassis system to their light weight composite stocks.


I was thinking about getting a Manners stock. I am looking at the MCS-EH4 and it is pretty nice. Do theses stocks need anything else to be done to them (piller/bedding/etc) like you do with stocks like a Boyds? Not sure what a mini-chassis is and what part it plays in the stock (no idea what it does). I guess you can see I am very green in this department. Thanks...
