Nice. What action inlets do they offer and can you customize LOP?
I finally got the shipment notification on my manners ultra classic - couple days shy of 9 months. I’ll with hold details on the experience until I have it in hand

I finally got the shipment notification on my manners ultra classic - couple days shy of 9 months. I’ll with hold details on the experience until I have it in hand Action inlet is for a Remington model 700 either short or long or Remington clones. I will be using a Defiance Rebel action for this rifle which should work. The only thing I will have to check on and can be easily fixed is the action port, the Rebel might be a bit longer than a standard short action 700 but my smith said that's an easy fix. First impression is its a nice stock, if you like a slim grip which it has. It maybe a little bit like a KS grip which I like. I don't believe you can ask for any options on the LOP, I got this one from Stocky Stocks - they had a 10% off sale so had to go for it.

Wanted to like the stock but the barrel channel was just too wide. Looked like a damn mini canoe

Frank- Appears you are using the Bartlein CF wrapped barrel? If yes please send some diameter measurements.....
I like the Proof stock but I’ll not be using more of their barrels.

I like the Proof stock but I’ll not be using more of their barrels. Dave, Yup, its one of the new Bartlein carbon wrapped barrels, its a #4 contour which is supposed to finish @24" but per PM to Frank Green @ Bartlein he said I could lop off 3/4" inch on the shank end to get it really close to 23" which is fine with me. As far as contour when I asked him he said the CF wrapped #4 is the same exact contour is their SS barrels. But if you want me to measure it just let me know what part of the barrel. Here is a top view that sort of shows the barrel. The stock is inlet for a Proof Sendero contour. The Bart isn't as beefy but should be fine on the barrel channel, maybe not as snug as in a McMillan but close enough.

All these comments on the barrel channel which is one of the easier fixes to do. I would put three or four layers of tape on it use lots of micro balloons to reduce weight. I would add black pigment and powdered graphite which adds a silver black color. More graphite fiber can be added and if the gap is large then graphite cloth can be added underneath to really stiffen up the fore end. A gun smith would not charge that much to do this especially if the action didn't need to be re-bedded.

I like the Proof stock but I’ll not be using more of their barrels. I caught a bad Proof cf barrel last fall. I bought it myself for a build. The guy at Proof couldn’t have been better to deal with. I explained what I was seeing on target and steps I’d taken to ensure it wasn’t me or some other variable. The guy said, “sounds like you caught a bad barrel” “Sorry about that”. “Where can I ship the new barrel?” Not a single hassle. With that said, I’m gonna try a Bartlein cf barrel on the next build. Bartlein will likely take some good market share from Proof because of their excellent reputation on steel tubes. 😎
