Manners EH Series Build Ideas and Picture Thread

[RuckSack]

I'm planning a light weight build using a Manners EH-4 stock. I have a Remington 700 SPS AAC-SD, 20" barrel with the 1:10 twist. I'm trying to keep the build under 10lbs without changing the barrel or action other than a possible chop to 18.5". My plan is to have a "lightweight" accurate rifle that I can take out to 800 yds/meters yet not be such a burden to hump around in the mountains.

I'm very interested to see if anyone is running a similar setup and might be able to post some pictures. Particularly with the EH-4 stock with SPS 20" barrel, but anything similar would interest me as well. Please post approximate weight of your system if possible along with any other specs that you feel like including. Especially any mods or accessories that you feel helped you keep the weight down.

For instance, I love the Premier Heritage but am leaning heavily toward a Zeiss Hensold 3-12x56 for the weight difference, and also the Manners BDL min-chassis rather than the DBM again for the weight mainly. Thank you to anyone who might have some insight or pictures.

I'm building a 6.5 CM on the new EH1. Tac 30 action, bartlein barrel, rem varmint profile fluted finished @ 22", seekins DBM. I think with scope it should come in around 10 pounds. It will be very close though. Maybe 1/2 pound over. Won't get the barreled action until Mid April and I bought the stock during the group buy, so whenever they start shipping is when the rifle will be done.

I totally missed the group buy and am kicking myself for it. What a great deal that was! Very sorry I missed it and really hope they do another one soon. On that note, this thread may be a bit premature if they haven't shipped yet! Oops.

But for anyone with a similar build and for the future when the EH series builds get going strong, I'd love to see some pics with total weight!
