I agree that a Manners stock would be a nice stock. Here's why I got a McMillan Edge instead:
1. Manners SL with 90% carbon fiber fill is $593 on the Manners website, $543 at stockysstocks.com. McMillan cost here at the 'fire is $518 (granted, only until the end of the year).
2. Manners SL weight is 27-28 oz. McMillan Edge weight 22-23 oz.
3. Manners will paint your stock in standard mil colors, but no speckletone finish. Manners will paint your stock a camo finish (as compared to a standard fill McMillan with molded in camo). I don't want to tote my sporter around with a camo finish, so that consideration is moot.
So there you go--Manners is heavier and more expensive. That's why I ordered the McMillan Edge.
On a side note, I'll never waste my money on a McMillan standard fill ever again. Those McMillan Edge stocks are that nice.
Not sure who you talked to At Manners but the SL with 90% shell which is the only way they come is $495 + Shipping always has been.
