Something like this would suit me fine. I would really prefer a more open grip. Something to compete with the Mcmillan Hunters Edge but with a higher comb would have the potential to sell a lot of stocks, if marketed correctly.

I would think the Kimber Montana stock could be scaled up to fit a full size action, and possibly leave a little extra meat in the forend for more barrel. The upscaled Kimber Montana would be a helluva nice hunting stock, in my opinion.

BTW, I really appreciate a company considering it's customer's ideas. Thanks Tom.

Just want to post here and update everyone on my EH-1.

Can't say enough about how Tom Manners addressed the issue I have with the stock. A true class act, genuinely concerned about his customer's satisfaction. He will go to the "Nth" degree to make his customer happy.

I can only hope to do the same in my own business. Great example of being customer oriented.

Thank you very much Tom!

That was the one with 2" of spacers? How is he fixing that? I'm going to be shortening a couple stocks for my kids and would like to make them grow with them if possible.

I once had a message for Tom to call me regarding a stock and he did so on a holiday, Thanksgiving maybe. I cant say enough good about his sevice and attitude.

tom,
what is the time frame for delivery when ordering a stock

For me, the ideal stock would be a synthetic Kimber Super America stock. The Brown Pounder stock is nearly ideal as well. Must have a cheekpiece, open grip, and rounded forend.

If it had to be upsized ever so slightly to handle other actions and contours that would be okay, but not much.

Any new hunting stock must be inlettable to a Winchester Model 70 pre and post 64, or else I wouldn't have any reason to buy it.

Hi Gene, The office is quoting 16 to 20 weeks out on new orders. Some or quicker a few run a little longer. It really all depends on the build and the options, if the action is remington style based, they tend to run on the shorter side of that. We also have a few stocking distributors that carry a good amount of inventory at all times, Stockys, Bullets and Ero-optics, and we also have stocks ready to ship on our new web page.

We actually just did another expansion and added 2000 sq feet of just lap-up area to try and cut the lead times down. This should help,but it will take a while.

Thank you very much,

Forgot to mention earlier that I was also able to make contact with Tom and he has been making every attempt to make right by me with my concerns regarding my EH-1 stock.

Manners gained a lot of respect in just a couple PMs. Great products backed by great leadership and great customer service.

My opinion has changed and I won't hesitate a second to order another because I KNOW that I will be taken care of.

I couldn't have said it any better!

Mr Manners,
Is there any chance us lefties will see the MCS-SL available for us?

Thanks in advance!

Chip

I have an EH2 on 300 WSM build on a LH MRC Action. this is my first complete build so I was not sure what stock I would like. wanted a stock that could handle the prone shooting but also work for offhand if needed. Was thinking this would serve more as a longer range rifle. Will try and get some pictures up in the next couple of days when I get home.

customer service was excellent with Manners. had a few issues with the stock when it arrived and they took care of it immediately. Tom took care of it. Gave me the choice of sending back or have my smith fix it and send them the bill. I took option 2. He also offered me a discount on my next stock order! All I can really ask, cannot expect perfection all the time, but how a company handles an issue is what really matters. This was handled fast and convenient for me. Will be ordering another stock soon, just trying to decide which one I want next.

started my load workup and it shoots about a .45 5 shot group with 190 bergers and H4831SC. This from a new reloader and not much tinkering yet. It actually shot a few different loads and powders in this range. had 3 other 3 shot groups at .67 or so with new Norma Brass as i worked up in powder charge. So overall, very happy and will probably be able to shot a little better once i learn more about loading.


here is a link for those interested with some of the specs on the stocks. Drop at comb and drop at heel.

Hi Chip, At this time we do not have any plans on doing the SL in a left hand version. We where actually hoping to fill that gap with the introduction of the EH3 which is ambidextrous. We will always look at it harder if we get enough request. I would be more than happy to get a sample Eh3 out to you to see how that would fit your needs, just shoot me a PM. We also have a few new elite huntig stocks coming out here in the next few months that might fit your needs. Also after hearing what some of the guys here would like to see, I just started on a more tradition mountain style stock with a open grip, round bottom and a little narrower forend. Should have a few pics in about a month. Thank you very much,

Tom,
Any chance the new elite hunting stocks will be included in a 2015 group buy?
Thanks,
Marty

Tom,
Thank you very much for the kind offer, however, after hearing about the new hunting stock with more open grip, round profile, etc. I will definitely wait to see it when you have some pics available. I am definitely in the camp that would love to see a stock like that from you guys. Thank you!

Chip

That's fantastic!

Thanks for being receptive to what guys want. In addition to the above please consider keeping the drop at comb and drop at heel to a minimum, and NO Monte Carlo. Just a nice straight stock with a comb high enough to use with today's bigger objective scopes.

Tom is the man! Cant wait to see the new stock. Sounds like a good fit for a Hart #2!

Yesterday I received my Manners MCS-TA LH, finished in GAP molded camo. I had sent them my AM bottom metal and they returned it with the stock. The bottom metal fit is perfect, I really like the feel and finish.

I have Defiance Deviant with a #5 Brux going in this stock. It is at my smith's so I couldn't check for action fit.

The overall workmanship appears top shelf. After owning several McMillans I am excited to get this gun out together. I really like the adjustable comb and 19 weeks & 4 days from order to doorstep is pretty fair IMO.

Randy

Look forward to seeing pics.

Very cool, looking forward to it!

+1 more. I'll be interested to see those. Seems like it would be the perfect stock for a 1st Gen Ti 7MM-08. Please keep us posted on those and when you can a picture would be most appreciated!
