And I thought ARs were expensive.

Aren't most manners & mcmillan stocks about the same $$. I haven't looked at eithers pricing in depth for years.

manners gets the edge in wait times, and customer service. They might be a tad cheaper as well but they are pretty close on price. I prefer manners, they just didn't have an option that I wanted w/ this last rifle build.

I liked my Manners T2 better than my McMillan A5...except the T2's palm swell was just a fuzz too large where the A5's palm swell was a Goldilocks-style juuuuuuuuuuuust right.

The fact I got both of my A5s under $450 each didn't hurt.

I think my next custom stock will be a Manners T6A.

Where have you guys found your best pricing on the manners or mcmillan stocks?

The only place Ive ever ordered either is direct. For me I prefer manners, but the price is so close its not worth considering.

order the manners directly from them. Look for McMillan at stockystocks because they normally keep a good selection in stock at pretty decent prices.

No interest in my savage huh? Allen can attest for the quality of the build. Its a fully decked out rifle that comes ready to rock.

24hourcampfire probably has the best prices on a custom-order McMillan.

Third Gen Shooters Supply has some very good prices on certain R700 and Surgeon action McMillans they already have in stock, and at least one McMillan distributor has told me they would match 3Gen's pricing on a new custom order (assuming same options but different action).

Manners? Order direct, try to get in on the occasional group buys they offer for new stock models, or pay a slight premium for something in-stock @ Stocky's.

Or do what I do - browse SnipersHide and buy somebody's used gear for 20%+ off new.

Ok so I 99% sold on buying a SWFA SS 10x scope.
That leaves rings and base. What do you guys recommend? I've seen $20 weaver bases and $180 badger.

 

[teddy12b]

Burris has some nice thick heavy rings for around $50. They work.

 

[42769vette]

Middle ground. Buy these while your buying your scope

Would it be worth my time to buy one of those Wheeler scope mounting kits?

No
