Back in July I decided to finally order the last piece of the puzzle that is my custom Remington Model 7. I had a hell of a time deciding between Manners and McMillan. Both are top shelf when it comes to quality, but McMillan had mold in colors I like better while Manners leadtime was 3 months shorter and their stock would be about $150 less. I called in my order to manners (wait time was the deciding factor) and asked if the advertised 3-4 month wait time was correct. The person taking my order informed me that it would be closer to 4 and I was fine with that since it was 3 months less than McMillans. Sooooooo, after 5 1/2 months had passed I called in and inquired about my delivery date. I was informed that I should have received it by now and that they were very sorry and I would be put on "the hot list" and I informed them to please not rush as I am OCD and want top quality. The person on the other end laughed and stated they understood as some coworkers were the same way. After another 2 weeks passed (6 month mark) I made another phone call to check progress and to inform them that the reason I chose their product was because of the 3 month difference in build time which was almost no longer the case. I was given another sincere apology and promised that I would receive an email or phone call to let me know my stocks status.... That was a week ago and I haven't heard a thing. Is this a common thing with Manners? Maybe McMillan is the same way I'm not sure, this is my first ordered custom stock.
