Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Brown vs Bansner

Yes Sir, i also know who to offer it too if i decide to sell, especially now with the LOP to more your liking, it's also in the lineup for Alberta moose and whitetail.

Someone needs to post up some pics of their Bansner Miller stocked rifles here. They were big talk about 7 months ago, what's taking you guys so long?????

Here is a Bansner in all its raw glory on a 338 WM. I even converted it to LH. Someday I’ll send it for paint.

I like the looks of that one. Great choice in recoil pad too.. Now, in the thread you started about rings for the Nightforce SHV 3-10x42, if you imagine the front Talley lightweight extended to the loading port that might just fit that SHV. You'd have to get the extended front though. You'd still be pretty limited in forward to aft adjustment though. So hopefully the eye relief would work for that application.

There is space with the rings as you see them.

I have emailed bansner multiple times and never gotten a response. I think you need to phone the shop.

I wouldn’t change a thing! That’s a killer rig.

My model 70 Brown Stock came out to 22.8 ounces bedded. It’s a wonderful handling stock and Mark Brown is a pleasure to work with. Few photos here:

So,

As per my last thread, I've been deciding on a stock for my M70 build.
Have received confirmation from Brown precision that they can ship a stock to Australia - great news.
Frustratingly, I've just sent another email to Bansner asking if postage is possible after waiting over two weeks since my first email.

How do the stocks compare? I was hoping to obtain the Bansner Miller as I love a cheekpiece, but at this rate think the Brown stock will be the winner. Also, is this sort of delay in response normal this time of year due to holiday closures, or no?

Photos appreciated as always to help me decide. Thank you!

I met Mark Brown recently at the Dallas Safari Club. He had some model 70's on display with the Brown Pounder stock. They were light and stiff and very trim. I'd go with one of those if I were you. Mark was also very patient in answering everyone's questions. Nice guy.
