For what it's worth, I took my Kimber Montana stock off a LA yesterday to measure and weigh it. It weighs 28.2 oz with the trigger guard and is 30.5" long. I also measured the drop. Eyeballing centerline of the barrel and bore, I got 9/16" drop at both comb and heel. Kimber specs say 0.43" at comb which is 7/16" and 0.54 (~9/16) at comb. I like a stock with minimal drop. I think 3/4" at heel would be about perfect.
My only concern with the Manners is there statement about keeping minimal drop to accommodate scopes with larger objectives. I hate Hubble telescope mounted on rifles...... I run a max of 42mm and for this rifle probably 36mm in VX3 config.
