I’m thinking of putting together a nice custom rifle using a Manners Ultra Classic stock
Here are the components Manners Ultra Classic 14-1/4” LOP Shillen Select Match #3 deep flutted 22” Timney trigger 3 position safety Remington 700 LA Hawkins OD BM DNZ mounts
What kind of weight can I expect out of this project. Chambering in 6.5-06
Would love to hear your feedback on the manners stock in general and any photos you want to share. Thanks.

You would be right around six depending on shank.

For reference: Manners UC plus Defiance anTi with rail Bartlein #3 contour 24" 6.5 PRC, straight fluted Hawkins Hunter M5 DBM and mag TT special TBAC CB 6 lbs 10 oz.
The barrel is not short shanked, could have saved weight by going with a 1" shank.

I too prefer the UC Plus version as the forend is a little meatier (can take a proof light) and I have big hands.

Thanks for the info. Are there any other stock makers out there that offer a comparable stock without the open grip profile? I’m looking for something light weight with a cheek piece. Thanks.

Good luck with Manners. I’ve given up on receiving a stock made to the specs I ask for from them. 0 for 2. In addition, in my experience, they require a fair amount of fitting too
I was not a fan of the open grip on the UC that I had. And a 2B barrel was too stout IMO, especially after Manners messed up the inletting and left way too long of a shank in the barrel channel
