    Anybody use the Manners EH-1 for their PRS rifle stock? It has a very similar shape to their PRS-2

    I noticed Melissa Gilliland uses an EH-1 and I've seen a few others.

    Does anybody have any experience? Any thoughts? Likes/Dislikes?
     
    It will work. It's not a PRS but it's not like it will be that detrimental given the assortment of bags to use. Forend is a little smaller width wise then it's competition based twin the T2 or PRS2. My hunting/backup-comp gun is an Impact in an EH1 FWIW. I run a PRS2 on my competition rifle. I will admit that the PRS2 is my favorite stock manners has ever produced though. I absolutely love it, and have given thought to ridding of the EH1 to get another PRS2.

    I have an EH-1 on my Mausingfield (6.5 creedmoor and 6.5 SAUM barrels for it) and have shot it in PRS competitions and I haven't had any real problems with it. I did add a kydex adjustable cheek peice, and dual-role the rifle as a hunting rifle. I think it weighs in the 10-13lb range depending on what's strapped on it.

    Going the factory adjustable route adds at least 1 lb to the stock, so if you're trying to keep the weight down the kydex cheek piece is the way to go.

    @Ledzep any serious modifications to use the kydex cheek piece? I've always wanted to just spend another $300 to send it to LRI for their titanium adjustable setup, but haven't gotten around to doing so.
     
    The only parts of the LRI piece that are titanium are the bars that control the height, and it also adds about a pound to the stock. I worked at LRI and did a couple of those modifications. JMO but I think you're better off with the loggerhead setup. More robust and the added weight is mostly epoxy fill in the butt anyway.

    Adding the Kydex piece involves adding 2 holes drilled through the butt for the cross-bolts to go through, and maybe heating up the kydex to get it to form to the stock a little (not necessary but it can make it look/feel better).

    Damn so it's a moot point, might as well sell and grab another PRS2 if it's going to be the same weight ultimately. I'd been using a stock pack but just prefer the adj cheek piece.
     
    Been running a carbon fiber version for a few years now. Non-adjustable cheek piece but I just use a stock pack... no problem there. Never liked the width/profile of the forend, so last year I added an Area 419 Arca rail. Now I love it. Just bought an MPA Hybrid and am about to retire the Manners to a hunting rig, but it did its job well.
     
    Maybe not ideal, but can definitely work. I would say that if that’s what you already have and want to shoot PRS I’d say go for it. :)
