Thanks Al. I was mostly curious about how "proud" the metal is. I have a Manners EH1 on order, and they dislike when people spec a factory bottom metal due to the fact it doesn't sit flush
I don't get that! I don't understand why McM and Manners can't get the inlet right...after all, the inlet is copied on a CNC machine. I can tell you one thing. I haven't put one together yet, on a McMillan, that popped the magazine out properly, after dropping the barreled action into the stock. I've had to shim up the front action screw, or solve the problem by opening the inlet and bedding the bottom metal. Then the magazine loads and releases properly.
Something is off a little with their inlet.
Maybe I need to let them know...
