Dave,

Easy on the Bansners.......... They aren't in the same league as either Mcmillan or Manners, quality wise, IME.

I have my first Manners Model 70 stock due to show up shortly. Had Mcmillan offered a suitable style for the Model 70, I never would have strayed. Unfortunately thier "Supergrade" pattern (the only real alternative for a sporter weight model 70) is grossly outdated. I wish that they would at a minimum, dupe the late production Supergrade stock, if not design a new one from scratch.
