Best lightweight stock that can handle a Proof Bull?

[evilsvt]

I was hoping the LRH could handle the straight 1.20 but I’m not sure if it can. Any recommendations for a lighter weight stock that can accommodate that heavy of a barrel?

Thank you!

They show it handles an m24 contour which I believe is 1.2 not sure on all the measurements of it though, I have an lrh but have a proof sendero in it.

EH-1 is advertised to handle a M24. I think the PH does also but not sure and can't find it on Manners site.

Manners will open up the barrel channel for $29. That does not include shipping.

I have an EH-1 with a 1.25 Proof Sendero and the barrel barely fits, and looks a little porky. No way you could fit a bull barrel in there.

Not many hunting stocks have the foreend width for a bull barrel. I would be looking at a carbon fiber tactical stock like a McMillan A3/A3-5 or a Manners T2.

I use a deep socket of the appropriate size and sandpaper. If you need it to look good tape it off and paint it your color of choice when done. This is a Manners

Grayboe phoenix is good for up to 1.25. They have a lighter stock as well that might work.

I opened up mine on a prs1 just this weekend using a deep socket took all of 10 minutes like others have stated.

At what point does inletting the barrel channel beyond what the manufacturer recommends cause problems?

 

[evilsvt]

I’ve had to open up / straighten most if not all of my manners stocks as of late, just wasn’t sure if they was enough meat on the sides for the 1.25” with a LRH. I have 2, but both are running M24 barrels.

I thought about the Phoenix but I’m not sure if I want to go “that light” on a 338 Norma.

The PRS2 might be a good compromise and it’s listed that it can take a 1.25

Proof competition contour in a LRH, nothing done to the stock to fit.

 

[wpeach1912]

I put a comp contour in an LRH too. Just a bit of sanding with a socket as mentioned

Why are you worried about a light weight stock if you’re putting a heavy straight taper barrel in it? It’s probably going to balance like shit.

 

[evilsvt]

Perfect, thank you

Why go with such a fat barrel if you are worried about the lightest stock?

Just get a Sendero lite CF or “gasp” a thinner steel barrel.

And yes, my 3b barrels shoot right there with my proof barrels.

Apparently the same point was made while I was in a mtg…

I have a proof sendero in an EH1.
Looks good. Shoots amazing.

I got a good deal on it and I don’t want a 17lb rifle.
