Is anyone else finding it uncomfortable to carry a rifle afield in a Manners, MCM or other furniture maker where the stock has a “gooseneck” pistol grip? My 26N is in a Manners MCS-T2A. I like the stock when I’m behind the scope. But carrying it around by the pistol grip feels awkward compared to all my other stocks. Is it just something you get used to in time? 😎

Per Ryan Pierce 7lbs. 12oz. plus rings and scope. Rings = 4oz., 3-18x44 LRHSi = 27oz.
Dan’s should be 9lbs 11oz. unloaded. So yea, 10lbs.

I’ve come to prefer a steeper, more closed grip.

Very nice, congrats! Ryan makes top tier rifles, and of course he is THE MAN when it comes to 28's.

Happiness will be a great shooting rifle.Hope it lives up to your expectations so you can air it out in Wyoming.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

I just got my 28 Nosler from Ryan last weekend. I just started load development, but it looks like it’s going to shoot great! Good luck with yours.

Heading back out tomorrow, but 86.5 of RL33 gave me the best accuracy so far. .5” 4 shot group from a bipod with an LRHS at 100 yards. I’m playing with Retumbo to see how it does and also trying some different seating depths.

That's a very nice rifle, much like the one I had built by Alamo Precision Rifles of Hurst, Tx.
I may post a thread about it...

Awesome rifle and great group!!
195s and RL33? Also do you always shoot from a lead sled? They are IMO junk and hard to get cheek weld on.
