Agreed, Both are FINE stocks. I favor the Sentinal, but not sure how either would ride a front F Open rest. Chaser2020 just ordered one of Terry's for his F T/R / FPR build.
Only reason I went with the AI is becasue it was already sitting in the safe, and it was not supposed to have to be bedded. </div></div> Yeah, mine is not a thumbhole, it's a kelby panda in a tooly MBR stock. 6.5x47L with 22" kreiger 4 groove. It is great. It won the LA state F-Class shoot a few years ago. I wasn't shooting it. Murray Crowe was. But I have a Manners T5A that I put in the rest too and it really tracks fine. I can shoot it very accuratly. Maybe not as good on the tracking but the thumbhole stock I think makes you more consistent. Thats the reason I was saying I would prefer a thumbhole. I do agree, the front end of the T5A needs to be flatter "for a true F-Class rig, it's built perfect for what it's made for" but I feel so consistent with it. Good luck
