Not unless Manners has a special run of them being built for the 2008 action.

Manners standard is for a Remington style.

We have a special version of the T4A with a high back tang area that we use. But we do not offer a mini chassis for the long/aciton 2008. We only offer a special order chassis for the short/action 2008 though. Let us know and we will get you taken care. Thank you very much,

A little bit off topic, but since the OP's question was answered anyway...

Any future plans on offering a mini-chassis in the drop plate bottom metal style in addition to the standard DBM style? Just curious.

</div></div> We actually have done a few test stocks with a chassis for a gun manufacture that requested them to work with a BDL trigger guard. They are in the process of testing them out now. It is basicly the same chassis just set up for remington bdl trigger guard. To answer your question, yes there is plans to do this just not sure of the time frame. Thank you very much,

Thanks for the response Tom. That sounds like the non-DBM chassis would not have integrated bottom metal then but allow you to add your own bottom metal flavor? Interesting.
