Anyone out there take delivery recently? If so when did you order? I have a few coming and it's not a big rush, but doing a little planning. Thanks.

Canceled the one I had ordered.......ordered a McMillan and had it in 4 months.
Not sure why Manners wait times are so long these days....to me anything over 6 months is too long!!

Mine took just over a year! Granted I did switch the stock model two months in.

I ordered a camper today, will get it in July. I ordered a truck last week, will get it in June.
I build 3-4 rifles a year and hunt with 1 or 2. I have years worth of stocks, barrels, actions, new reamers, and new dies in stock. My house is a rifle parts junk yard.

I'm sure there's some relevance in there somewhere.

I received a T4A a few days ago. Delivery was one year and one week. They did discount the stock by 5% for "late delivery."

I just spoke with manners and they said with the inlet I have (REM 700 SA) 6 months shouldn't be a problem but I'm thinking about ordering a McMillan and keep which ever one comes in first cancel the other.

A while back someone communicated to me something along the lines of 'it takes a women less time to conceive and give birth, that it does to get a Manners stock.' If I'm not mistaken the Manners stock in question was for a Rem 700 S/A inlet.

I ordered an EH3 inletted for a TAC 30 on July 2nd of last year. Was told 16-20 weeks when I ordered it. Called to check on the status in early December and was told "just a couple more weeks". The stock finally shipped to me on March 7th, so the lead time was more like 40 weeks as opposed to the 16-20 they estimated.
Bummer is, the instructions were for it to be inletted for a Bartlein #3 with a 1" shank. I'll be lucky if I end up with 1/2" of shank with the inletting like it is. Now I get to decide whether or not to send it back and wait a little longer, or make it work. Guess I had higher expectations for $600.

Hard to argue with a McMillan... Yep. Never saw what apparently some did in Manners.

I've got a Manners that I got last year. Ordered with the group buy end of February or beginning of March and had it the 4th of July. Sounds like it has gotten worse and McMillan has gotten better with wait times. Case in point, ordered a McMillan on 1/20 through the gear shop. Was emailed yesterday it was complete.
If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ...
