Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

Hey adkmtnman,
Here is the GAP rifle in my sig, Manners T4A in a 5 color digital woodland. I ordered it through GAP as they did the build. This is the only high end stock I own, so I don't have a lot of experience here, but I love this stock.
Where in Upstate NY are you? I'm in the Saratoga Springs area.

Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

I am a Sara Spa member, I actually live in Greenfield Center, it is just a few miles from my house. You will love your stock. I have a 5R that will be getting one of these as well. If you want to handle mine, give me a shout.
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

Isn't there a place in Wilton that they shoot out to 500 yards. I miss shooting at Sara SPA... what a nice place. I shoot at Dunhams Bay. A little closer to me.
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

There is a 300 and 500 range in Wilton, I've heard, but they are not taking any members now. There is one range in the Clifton Park area that has 1000 yards, I always forget the name. I would love to try it. I just worked an Appleseed shoot at Dunham's Bay May 7&8, and shot one there last Sept. Sara Spa has made some nice changes in the past year, and gets better and better. We just put some steel plates on the 200 a couple of weeks ago.
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

I've heard about the Clifton Park one... I'd love to shoot there... That would give me the excuse to buy that 408 chey tac I want.... muahaha muahaha
I left Sara SPA just as they put the 200 in, about 9 years ago I want to say... Just a class A place to shoot. Might have to re up over there... Just a hec of a ride for me... like 45 min.
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

UPDATE: Just got the email with my final invoice.... WOOO HOOOOO almost completed! Will post up pics when I get them. Stock is going straight to GAP to meet up with its better half....
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

Got 2 Manners T3s now and about 12 weeks into waiting on a 3rd but this will have the Mini Chassis. Can't say enough good things about Tom and his crew not to mention his great products. You will be very happy when you get the stock.

Wow, haven't seen that stock in a long time. As a matter of fact, that was the very first stock that I painted for Manners.

Hey Branden, Thanks for the great job on this. I could not be more pleased with it. I'm glad you recognised it. Here is a better pic of it in its setting.

Rob,

No need for an adjustable cheekpiece? Obviously not. Even if I have the lowest rings...still need the adjustable cheekpiece.

That said...I have a T2A and have a MCS-TA ordered. Can not wait!!!

Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

Nope. Never had the need when I put on a stock pack as the Manners have a higher comb than the HTG. About 3/8" of foam duct taped under the HTG stock pack but that's not really a big deal either.
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

Nitro you really have to get behind them. I have a T5a and find myself gripping it like it was a T4a (thumb staying vertical). I still like the 5 but would probably go 4 in the future.
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

Here is my MCS-T with an XLR added to her.

Specs in sig.

I am in love with mine and it really helps with the overall weight as mine was very heavy before I installed the Manners.

Good luck,
Merritt
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

know your excitement! I just got the call for the completion of my T-5A in desert molded -in!!! All they need to know when you call to check on your "Order" is the build number. (I know you will call several times before the 'due' date!!! I did!) I am new to this site, but not new to shooting. I was greeted with sarcasm, wariness and careful eyeing, I chose not to ask too many questions and to wit until had a 'stick' that was worthy of discussion. Of the two questions that I did pose, both were answered with great explanation and worthy advice. My Surgeon built "stick" (I hate that expression...") will be complete in a month or so. I digress, my experience with Manners was nothing less than top notch! Instant answers even through their move!
I would like the opportunity to speak of my personal experience with Surgeon Rifles. My story starts when tried to locate a 'reputable' rifle builder. I came to this forum and asked the question. Several responded, I found out I was an hour away from Surgeon. After a tour, and a stern talk from Stephen, my order was placed and I await the fruits of my toil. My stock from Manners arrived two days ago and I have received two phone calls from Surgeon... I feel as though I am their only customer!
writing here on the 'hide is daunting. I served for twenty+ years, and no, wasn't a sniper, just a regular guy that made the Navy shooting team. Not bragging, just saying, I love this forum, a lot of good advice. I see how it is hard to speak/ask questions in the midst of the "Lions". Maybe the search engine isn't perfect. So I asked a repeated question...!! I always check the 'hide for sponsors, Ceylon, back me up...! LOL and I like the camaraderie !. I took a hiatus from the forum becauseI didn't have a real 'dog' in the fight. I will have a full range report from my Surgeon when it arrives; until then, Thanks to all who have responded to a "newbie".
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

I just picked up another 700SA and I've been looking at the Manners GAT. It seems to be the closest thing to my Sentinel that I have and love now. I'm thinking about giving one a try. I was hoping to pick one up used and avoid the wait, but have had no luck.
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

Scope should be here in a couple of days... Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50 with zero stop and np-r1 ret and hi-speed .250moa adjustments...
Then that goes off to get painted as well by the legend himself...
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

I had Manners give the stock on my 5R Mil Spec a 3 color Dark Urban Flectarn paint job. Love it! They turned it in a couple of weeks even though they were in the middle of moving facilities. Now I'm considering upgrading several other rifles.

It's an addiction... but I'm happy to have it!
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

I need to order my next one for my upcoming Creedmoor build. But I can't decide on if I'll be using a Stiller Tac 30 or a Surgeon action to build off of. that's what has me held up.
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

My next build is def gonna be a 6.5x47 lap.... must have! Not sure on action for that either, although I do like the Templar action and I think I just will order it as a whole build from GAP
 
Re: YEHAWWW... ORDERED MY MANNERS MCS-T4A

Hey adkmtnman, I feel your excitement bud. I just got a phone call this morning informing me that my T4A is in the paint booth. Another week or so my Savage will be shedding the factory tupperware stock for a new "home." Take care and enjoy.
