Looking to build a rifle that will be used for shooting at a bench for varmints Thinking about a Manners since my last two took less than four months and my last McMillan took almost 8 months
So perusing the Manners site, the T2A looks like it would be a good one I would be using bipod and rear bag I have never seen one of this model and was looking for some input
Thanks

I run the T2 non adjustable on my 7 wsm. I sure like it a lot. I use a rear bag about 99% of the time and would rather have the angled bottom of the t2 vs the hook of the t4. Its much easier to slide the bag to make elevation adjustment vs squeezing it.

So I read on their website that it has a 3/4" flat area on bottom How does that work with bags
This sounds like the stock I want but have never seen one
Thanks

Buster, they will send you one to handle if you give them a credit card on file. All it costs you is return shipping.

I have a T2A. It is quite beefy in the grip. Rides the bags well. The KMW hardware in the cheekpiece is excellent. Overall a great stock, although I prefer the grip on the T5

Overall a great stock, although I prefer the grip on the T5 I have a T5A and love it (and another on order) I was wanting to try something different for different's sake However, I'm leaning towards another T5A Stocks are hard for me to decide on. I always seem to go back and forth. Thanks guys

Brad:
I had Manners send me one to look at - NICE!!
It was more sleek compared other popular tactical stocks, but still had the ergonomics to do what your looking to do on a bench and/or a rest.
Call & talk to Tom Manners - his customer service is one of the best in the business!!!

A Faux McMillan has never appealed to me,but Imitation is THE most sincere form of Flattery. Tom do it better than most,in fairness.
Instantaneous McMillan Gratifications are an easy itch to scratch and there are multiple routes of reliable travel,that'll have a handle in mitts...within a coupla days.
Though the build blueprint ain't been cited,it sounds S/A and most likely 700,wearing a VS contour as a minimum. Them thangs roll rather nicely into an A5 and that handle easily remains the pick of the litter,as a means of carting sucha contour in a Utilitarian handle. Be easy to have same at the house,in 3 days,assuming fair to middlin' weather for the Mail Man.
Hell...even McMillan directly,has 'em ready to roll and swirled to boot. 'Course,I never was much into [bleep] around.
Hint.

Big Boxer, Did anybody mention McMillan? I remember when you beat the Leup drum too, but I see we've moved on! Just poking at you so don't go getting bent out of shape. Seriously, have you tried the EH1? I'm loving it.

I think I may just end up getting another T5A as I know what I'm getting there

Cheer up,I have it on good authority,that I've one Leupold scope or more. Hell,I might even have one stock or more. Laffin'! As mentioned prior,as Imitation McMillan's go,Tom's are better than most. Hold the Fluff and pass the real stuff. Hint.

In all fairness, the HTG is an easy target but the stocks are roughly the same proportions and serve the same purpose so its a reasonable comparison. The EH1 made this rig soooo much better, though I do shoot it mostly prone so less drop = more better is a given. The EH1 is essentially the T2 grip/butt and the T forend.

CT: that rifle looks hella sexy in either handle.
