Manners eh series and proof barrels?

[grouse]

Looks like there is only the eh1 that will fit a proof. Has anyone fit a proof on an eh6 or similar?

I believe that you can just tell them the barrel profile or a gunsmith can inlet it for you.

@huntsman22 just built two rifles with Proof Sendero Light barrels and Manners EH-6A stocks. I’m looking to build one with an EH-2 I just picked up from Core. It needs hogged out just a smidge but it has plenty of sidearm to work.

I’ve seen an EH3 with a Proof and it was fine.

Manners says the eh6 can fit a #3. Thanks

The eh6a can take a proof. I need the eh6 to save weight

Tom told me the biggest Proof they'd do in the EH6 (or A) is the Sendero Light contour, like xtrem htr16 said. After seeing how much 'meat' was left on the sides, I don't believe I'd try a Sendero or bigger in it.....

EH6 will not fit a proof Scendaro contour, it will also be too thin to inlet any more once you receive it. The EH6-A will fit a scendaro contour. Don’t ask me why the A fits and the non adjustable doesn’t it just how manners explained it to me. I can’t speak for the other stocks or the scendaro light.

What contour is that proof? Nice rifles!

both are scendaro contours. Thanks, they turned out great I though too. Built them for a friend and his dad for a sheep hunt, ended up taking his final sheep for his grand slam with it.

I've got a 338 Sendero contour in a Manners EH1.

I have an EH1 ordered for a proof Sendero 300 wm build. On the EH1, manners called the barrel contour a proof medium, they said that told them it was for the proof Sendero profile.

EH6A was specifically developed for "Proof medium":

Can confirm my build sheet says proof medium

Nice rig. The eh series is a little different

Sorry, I thought they were the same since it was the elite fill. My apologies for the confusion.

Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere and I’ve missed it, but what’s the weight of that rig mate?

Cheers mate. That’s bloody light. I have a proof sitting in the safe and am tempted to grab a Manners TA for this build.

 

[grouse]

I heard someone had ordered an eh8 plus. The plus would fit a proof. Anyone heard that?

It looks like the proof is in the pudding in the above pictures but just thought I'd ask if anyone else can confirm that an EH6A can support a Proof Sendero contour (not Lite)? Manners just told me it won't over email but if it can be opened up counter to that, I'm in. Feels off that I'd have to open it up even after spending Manners prices on their work though. It's also weird that they have a Proof contour EH6A in the ready to ship section but say it can't support it...
