#Metoo.......

A while back I went to a buddy's place to compare stocks, one being a Manners T. We both agreed it was our favorite, as it just seemed to point naturally, except I wasn't interested in the wider forend for a calling gun. I came home and studied the spec sheet, and it looked like the EH2 was a clone to the T, but with a narrower forend. So I ordered one, loved the stock, but the damn thing came with a 12 1/2" LOP.

So I sold it, and bought an EH3, thinking it was the same as a 2, but with a slightly lower comb. It was, but the 3 has a thinner grip, and I preferred the thicker grip of the T and 2, so I peddled that one.

I was enamored with the scorched earth camo, so when this stock popped up for sale, it clicked all the boxes, including flush cups. It doesn't have sling studs, but I typically don't use them. I may put a front stud on the front in case I want to run a bipod.

Looking forward to seeing the completed build!

Damn it, I need to quit looking at your posts ! I've been wanting to build one more rifle the last year. I keep holding off ,but I'm not sure I can much longer.

Help !

Looks good, BTW !

I hope I can inspire others that you can't take it with you.......ha ha.....

Of course, any of mine can be for sale too......

Looks great aalf - its pretty amazing how fast a pile of gun parts turns into a really nice rifle when you are involved. This one I like a lot - looking forward to your next project

Somebody messed up and put the rifling on the outside!

What scope are you going to use on this one now that the load work is done?

That's the last piece of the puzzle I'm struggling with.

The contenders are a Leupold 2-7x33 w/ Firedot Duplex off my AR, that I'm contemplating getting a Sightmark Wraith for, or maybe a Leupold VX5HD 2-10x42 with or without the Firedot, not sure yet. Won't be a super chicken of any flavor........

For now, I'm stealing a NXS 2.5-10x32 IHR off one of the others.

You should paint/cerakote the flutes alternating purple and chartreuse.

I have since painted the barrel a medium gray to cut back on the shine.

I contemplated coloring in the flutes with a sharpie, but chickened out.....

Al's been saying that for years and 25 rifles later, here we are.

Another good one, Al!

Not quite 25, but point noted......again......

First day of testing, all at 200 yards, H-4350, Remington 7 1/2 primers, and 105 Berger VLD's and Hybrids.

Nice night to shoot:

What did it weigh before the scope Al, Nice looking rig for sure shows promise on that target too.

Very nice. Next barrel I order I will specify a radius in front of the shank. Just has a more classic look to me and reduces weight some.

Mike, bare gun comes in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces.

After 3-4 shots to zero the scope, the first two shots at 39 grains went into the same hole.

Gave me some hope right outta the gate.

Agreed, I've had Bartlein do one, the rest were done by the smith.
