Hello and Manners Stock Question

[insertgenericid]

Hello 'Hide,

I'm a long time lurker, and a guy who's just trying to teach himself to shoot. Now I've got a question about the Manners T5A.

My rifle is a Remington LTR in a AICS. It seems to me that the cheekpiece is too high for me, when I shoulder the rifle I have to push down quite a bit to get down. So I've been looking at the Manners T5A. Is the comb on that lower then the AICS?

Do you like the aics? If so why not just get taller rings, whole lot cheaper.

You may also try adjusting the cheekpiece to the right a tad, although if shooting on the other shoulder will be worse.
If that doesn't work, get taller rings.
I generally have to go a size higher if going from a standard stock to an AICS.

I'm generally happy with it, except the weight. Is there any huge disadvantage from using higher rings and thus being higher off the bore?

I cannot chime in on the AICS or the Manners T5A but I can comment on the T5 (non adjustable). I feel the cheek weld on the T5 is pretty low and requires Low or super low rings. You could also have one made with a carbon fiber shell to help reduce the weight even more.

lots of good advice here already, I would get higher rings, lots cheaper and faster than wait months for a stock and the $ difference would buy lots of ammo.

If you're cheek is adjustable on the AICS, is it adjusted as low as you can get it? I wanna say our T5A cheek is lower than the AICS, however we don't have a aics chassis here that I can compare it to.
