The black bear saw 3 matches so far this year. It’s been doing great! I shit the bed at the Vortex Rampage though. It’s so weird having a nice full custom rifle, it was as if I lost my fundamentals and was doing things like slapping the trigger, not loading the bipod. I couldn’t hit big easy...- Fishbaum

First range outing was yesterday and I am impressed. The pic attached shows rounds 3 - 20 out of the rifle. Top left group is the first 3 after adjusting the scope to be on paper. Keep in mind, the top groups had a freshly cleaned bore before starting. Also, was dealing with a 10mph headwind...- Fishbaum

Thank you! As it sits in the picture, it balances about 1" in front of the recoil lug. It feels really good. I think that will work favorably for stabilizing while shooting off barricades while also not being uncomfortable while shooting off hand.- Fishbaum

For you guys with Manners stocks, what barrel lengths and contours are you using and how is the balance? I would like to avoid an overly nose heavy gun but don't want to compromise rigidity with a lighter contour to do so. I was thinking a heavy Palma around 26" for myself. 6.5mm for...- Fishbaum

Hi Robert, thanks for checking in, I am poor and have not been able to get the action yet. I love looking at the stock though. Keeps me motivated to get the build done. I will be sure to post pictures and range info as soon as I can. Hopefully around May I can have a ready to shoot rifle.- Fishbaum

Just an update on the pillars situation. Got a hold of Manners and they are crediting me the cost of the pillars and labor. (I get free pillars!!) They said that on this action it will need done by me or a smith to determine the proper height of the pillars with the bottom metal and action to...- Fishbaum

My PRS 2 came in today! All inletted by Manners. Don't have a black bear to test fit yet but at least I have something pretty to look at until then. One thing did come up. And full disclosure I have not contacted Manners yet as I literally just got this. But it appears the pillars were not...- Fishbaum

Hi guys. Just rekindling the thread. How's everyone's Black Bears doing? Saving is hard. I'm hoping to have a complete rifle by the 2020 Border Wars season.- Fishbaum
