TOM MANNERS' Stocks???

[AdvenJack]

Hello to all,

I was curious if anyone has used the MANNERS stocks, specifically the T2-A and/or the T6-A?
I am told MANNERS stocks are quite Excellent and worth every cent! I am about to buy an 11/111
XP in .260 Remington for my longer distance coyote, hog and target fun shooting. Thank you &
Early Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!!!!!

I have a T6A on its way to me. Got the email yesterday that it was ready. I will let you know how much I like it. It will be storing a .260 Rem built on a target action with a heavy black hole weaponry barrel and a 3x18 Gen 2 Razor

T2A here. Love it. This is with a 26" McGowen 308 Varmint Contour. I just pulled this barrel and I'm waiting on a new 243 barrel from ApacheGunWorks throated for the 115 VLD's and DTACs.

At this point I am not clear on the differences between the two stocks.
Can you fellows clarify those please?

Mostly in the forearm. Believe the rear ends are the same

I just checked out their website. Makes me want to put together a precision tactical rifle real bad.

Was hooked after my first match!

I am currently on T2 #2...fantastic stock.

The T6 is an awesome stock though, with the forearm probably a little better if one does a lot of offhand or positional shooting (ie. matches).

I really wish Tom would do a mini chassis for savage, I'd buy one RIGHT NOW!
they are very nice stocks.

[LoneWolf]

Ya I think badger ordanance does the mini chassis though. Good luck on that wish.

Maybe one day I'll break down and get a Shilen DGR action and just buy barrels after that.

[AdvenJack]

I appreciate the responses men!

I just ordered a EH1 last week for a long range hunting rifle I am building. Tom told me they will be debuting the mini chassis for the savage at shot show next month. Said the price should be around $130, but he didn't have final cost on them yet. Oh ya I'm a fan of their stocks, here's my 6.5 Creedmoor in a T4A

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...

[BoilerUP]

The EH4 has an *Extremely* short forearm.

Like most stocks, glass bedding would be ideal...and while you don't necessarily need to pillar bed it, Manners stocks come with pillars and for $30 Manners will install the pillars for you. Money well spent, IMO.

So the EH3 may be a better choice. What is the mini-chassis designed for? Does this eliminate the piller and beading?

[BoilerUP]

I'd suggest the EH2 or EH3, yes.

As for the mini-chassis:

They currently are only made for 700s, and I've got one - it is great.

[Steelhead]

Word on the street is a Manners Savage mini chassis in the near future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boostless]

The mini chassis it to be debuted at SHOT, I got tired of "waiting on the guy to bed my rifle" and they upgraded me to it. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

[Marine24]

Talked with Matt at Manner's just today and confirmed they would be taking orders on the mini-chassis in about three weeks. Supposedly none are in the barn and all are at Shot. Odd.

I have both their T-5 and T-3. The T-5 is definitely a great prone/bench stock but felt odd for me shooting a thumbhole stock offhand/kneeling. I'll be ordering a MCS T or one of the Elite hunters with the chassis soon after they get back from Shot.

They have a GAT available now that is tempting, but I learned my lesson on thumbholes.
