The last stock I bought from McMillan lasted until I sold the rifle (8 years).
Why should I buy Manners over McMillan, or is it just preference?

But I wont buy new ones from them based on Bob Beck having bought them.
Why?
Not to be a douche, but can you do better than "He's a tool"?Beck is a tool
My money wont enrich him.

I’d say it’s similar(ish). The thumb notch gives it a different feel to me. And all my EH-1s have had a shorter grip-to-trigger distance than the LRH I’ve shot.People have mentioned the EH1 and I liked it a lot when I had it. Is the Manners LRH grip similar to the EH1 or thicker?
Theyre virtually identical construction. Mcmillan has never been solid fiberglass. Both stocks are laid up as shells with fiberglass or carbon(like a boat hull), then filled up from the butt ends will varying weights and combinations of fiber/resin slurry, or foam.I haven’t kept up lately because, you know, foundation stocks are a thing now, but back in the day the difference was construction. Mcm was basically solid fiberglass and manners was a shell with a fill. The shell with fill allowed it to be strong and lighter weight. Superior imho. And their light hunting stocks were very popular. That said, I never broke my mcm a5 adj and it was the right weight. I didn’t want it lighter or heavier.
Yeah, Mcmillan leadtimes are down but there inlet selection are way down. They used to inlet for alot of actions but now you have to get a blank for some and have them inletted somewhere else which is cost prohibited…But if you have one of Bobs defiance actions you’re in luckTheyre virtually identical construction.

To the OP, I like both. Manners has some neat features, and have stayed at the forefront of developement. Really like the micro chassis idea. For the last few years, mcmillan has been streamlining its manufacturing process to cut lead times down, but they’ve still been putting out some new models. Their lead times are way way down. Not sure where Manners is on that.
Which actions did they stop inletting for?Yeah, Mcmillan leadtimes are down but there inlet selection are way down.

I looked into it. You're right, quite a large list of inlets they no longer do. 81 of them to be exact.Older Sakos and older Tikka’s ,steyr …right of the top of my head…They used to inlet for almost anything…I have a few and like them…I understand it is a business decision and respect that but it’s too bad the the hunting crowd…

It looks like it can be ordered with an adjustable spacer system as an option.The T2a does not have an adjustable LOP. It does have KMW cheek riser.
