Regarding the A5, I am not a fan of fat forends and hooks, but thats just me. For most others it is the bar and I can understand that. In general, McMillan is the bar but Manners has filled some holes in McMillan's line, and done it well.

Please place me among those who don't "know" or "do" much. I know my place laugh grin

Regarding the A5, I really like mine, but it took 8 months to get this one. (When this picture was taken, I didn't have an Atlas bi-pod and I ordered this stock with an Atlas pic rail. That's why the Harris looks so far back in the photo)

Seems like I may have another McMillian around here somewhere

Michael Jordan once told me that no one likes name droppers.

Here's a couple McMillan clones. Can't remember the name, but they sure do have good Manners

Seems to me they call this a HS stock

Don't worry, the Manners will all get painted. I'll have my 5 year old niece use her Crayola's


Three of the four last McMillans ordered had inlet problems. All were using the exact same action. One was a short action and was inletted for a long action. The build sheet even had .223 action on it. Bad to wait 6.5 months and get wrong inlet and have to send back and wait another month.

I have ordered 2 Manners in 2014 and both were less than four months.

Buster, don't not order a McMillan because of the delivery time. Manners can take a while and its not unheard for complications to delay the process (not going in to it but take my word for it, situations similar to yours with McMillan. A little research validates the same). A few months difference is a mute point in my book.

All that being said, the quality of a Manners is at least that of McMillan, if not better. It looks like you've enough handles of each to confirm. Pick the stock that will fit what you think you're looking for and order it.

I did go ahead and order a Manners yesterday because of delivery time. I want to get this one built as soon as I can.

That's high praise. I do my worst, and that's all that matters grin

I really like manners stocks. When I decided to build my 375 VM2 I chose manners.
