I have a Bighorn long mag action (on order) a 9tw Bartlien barrel on hand and Manners called today and said the stock ships next week. So................. This rifle will be for deer and the possible elk hunt. I had originally planned for a 7mm Mag, and that's not ruled out either. But...

Had Jon build a plain Jane 223. This one is a 12 tw that I wanted for lighter bullets. I have some 8 tw .22 cal rifles and a couple more to be built later in the year, so I opted for a different twist rate. The stock colors blended to much for my taste. But hey, you never know how they will turn...

Had Jon build me a lighter weight 6x47 Lapua. He built me one a couple of years ago that's a little heavier than this one. Wanted to trim it up just a bit. I really like this blueprint for a carrying type rifle. 6x47 Lapua 8 twist Bartlein finished at 24" McMillan Hunter Stock 34 Med...

Just received this from Jon on Friday. This is my first Manners stock and so far I really like it. I bought the stock as part of the Group buy here on the Hide Thanks for looking Specs 22-250 Bighorn sporter action Manners EH-2 stock, limbsaver, Desert Hunter speckle finish...

Sometimes its hard for me to keep track of how many firings some of my brass has. I know most try to anneal every 4 or 5 firings. But can one anneal to often, such as some cases may have four firings but some also have two, in case some got mixed in together? I'm talking about the same rifle...

I'm thinking about have a stock hydro dipped in Multi Cam. I have looked at some websites online, but obviously, it tells me nothing of their quality of work and/or if they are reputable. Wondering if any of you have someone to recommend? Thanks Brad

In what seems like a long time, today my 6.5 x 47 Lapua finally arrived. I started ordering parts for this in August. Jon called last week and said that it was finished. This will be my primary deer hunting rig, so I'm anxious to get it to the range and get started on load development. Once...

I received a Defiance Rebel recently and am planning on the barreled action to be coated. However, I was wondering about the bolt. I wasn't sure if cerekoting both the action and bolt would be too much and the action would not be as smooth I was wondering if maybe the bolt should be treated...

So I seen Manners is offering a group buy on their Elite stocks and I wanted to get in on that. So I'm needing a barrel. I don't even know what caliber yet but just wondering if anyone had any ideas on potential barrels. I have several Kriegers but thought about trying something different this...

I know this is a small caliber and not sniper worthy, but the action and trigger came from group buys here on the HIDE. I'm really excited about this rifle and round. I think it's going to be a fun round to shoot. Overall the rifle is about as lightweight custom rifle as I have. I just...

Well got it today and had a box waiting for me. My first Jon Beanland rifle and man its SWEET. Jon's work is flawless. Can't wait to get it on the range. Specs Rifle built by Jon Beanland 6X47 Lapua Krieger 5.5 contour 1/8 twist finished at 26" spiral fluted by Kampfeld Custom McMillan Game...

I just received my .223 AI from Greg Young, aka, Southern Precision Rifles. This is my second rifle and I can't say enough good things about how great he is to work with and what a great rifle he builds. My other rifle flat out shoots "bugholes". I hope this one will keep up with the other one...

Just wondering if anyone had any personal experience with either a Pierce or Defiance action? I was wondering the Pro's and Con's of each. This would be for a hunting rig. I'm just at the research phase of a potential build. Thanks in advance.

My 243 Ackley arrived today and I'll have to say it was well worth it. Greg at Southern Precision Rifles did an outstanding job. I couldn't be more pleased. His work is top notch and I can highly recommend him. Karl at Kampfeld Customs coated it for me and his work is flawless. Anyway, on...

I'm in the planning stages of a future build. This rifle will be a hunting rifle. I want this to be a detach mag fed rifle so I can run some VLD. I have one rifle that has the surgeon bottom metal and I'm not real crazy about how far it hangs down past the bottom of the stock. Again this is a...

I'm doing some research for a future build. My primary use for this rifle will be deer hunting in Ky which will mostly be from a tree stand. I would occasionally shoot some steel for fun. I was looking at some Manners Stocks and notice that they have the option of an adjustable cheek piece...

Let me start out by saying that I'm doing research for a future build, which will be primarily a hunting rifle that I would use occasionally for some steel ringing with friends, no competitions. I live in rural KY and have never had the chance to see a Manners stock. No one in my area is really...
