Anyone?

Toying with trying one. Not sure of their lead time etc, and never handled one.

Everything good to say about my Manner's. Style, feel, and grip texture is excellent. Manner's will build this stock w/ molded-in colors.

Molded in colors to choose from. Seen these at the shot show, very nice detail.

I have only handled one. It was a hunting rifle stock, the one with the straight comb.

Looking at Manners website, I think it must have been this one:

It was very stiff in the forend -- I was impressed.

I prefer a more open grip, but that isn't a criticism, just personal preference.

Looking at that picture, there is a lot of cast but I did not have a chance to shoot the rifle I handled so I do not know how recoil would feel.

I have one of their tactical stocks - a T2A. Liked the ergonomics better than the McMillan A3 and A5. It is a great stock. Their mini chassis (built by Badger Ord) is excellent also.

Quality is excellent, although the Manners paint isn't as tough as the Polane that McMillan use.

Lead time was about 10 weeks including delivery down under. McMillan have really caught up lately so I'd say there isn't much difference between them on wait time now.

Thanks for the input. It would be the "Super Light SL" model.

I ordered a T2 ( BDL inlet, molded-in GAP Camo, 2 bottom mounted flush cups, 1 forward mounted bi-pod stud) in mid March and they quoted a lead time of 12-14 weeks.

Ouch, that is like the McMillan wait...Because 12-14 actually means 4 months.
