Manners Night Stalker

@tmanners I was wondering the same thing about the trigger reach in these. I was thinking of using this as a double duty stock for hunting and getting my 7 year old son running on a stock with adjustable LOP to grow with him too.
 
I also ordered the day after orders opened for them, they told me 6 months and I believe it’s been a little less then 5 but I’d be shocked if it showed up close to 6 months.
 
I noticed that this comes with both mini chassis and micro chassis options. Anyone know if there’s any benefit to choosing the heavier one piece mini chassis over the newer micro chassis? The person who answered the phone at manners said that there isn’t, but I’m not sure why both options would be available if that’s the case. @tmanners
 
The night stalker with thermals, clipons, NV, wmlrf, who knows what other gadgets, is gonna be a heavy rig. I'd take the penalty of 3-4oz for the mini VS micro. Too much human error in set depths, that could fuck up the drops to bottom metal and the action being square. I like manners socks, but only 1 of 3 mini chassis have been square to barrel channel inlet. Easy fix, but I wouldn't want to chance the micro chassis.

I just looked back at my order, it appears I ordered it with the Micro Chassis. I guess we will see how it is later this year.
 
I ordered the mini since it’s already not light and with a clip on out front a few extra ounces toward the middle could help with balance.
 
My order confirmation says that production will begin in April of 2024 and that is when the lead times will begin.

So...if we are basing our guestimates for delivery off of that, it's going to be a while. At the earliest, October, i.e. the fall like another person suspected.

Yea and when you placed your order prior to production kicking off will dictate your place in queue as well. I placed my order late March so I don't expect it until November at the earliest and I'd be surprised if I see it before years end.
 
I can't help but think this looks like a perfect competition stock for a little kid to start shooting with. I wonder if they could set the inlet back a little to get the trigger further back towards the grip?

I called the other day to ask some questions about my new PRS stock and I inquired about my order. The nice fella on the phone said end of the year. That jives with the 6-8 month lead time quoted on my order sheet.

Patience is a virtue...i'm still trying to be virtuous. :)
