Manners night stalker

[Wheeler772]

I have a manners night stalker stock, a pure precision SKLTN action and I’m waiting on a preferred barrel blanks carbon barrel. It’s going to be chambered in 6CM and used for coyote hunting at night mostly. I’m looking for advice on which m5 bottom metal and a trigger to go with? The mdt bottom metal has my interest, what are your thoughts on that?
Thanks,

I prefer the Hawkins hunter DBM. Run their flush fit mags or AICS style mags. No probs with the MDT Precision DBM except the price. For a hunting rifle, especially for night stuff, the mag latch release inside the trigger guard on the Hawkins Hunter DBM is a nice design. They don't catch on anything and mags only come lose when you want them to.

My night stalker is due to ship in the next month or so, but when it arrives, I have the MDT hunting bottom metal sitting on my workbench ready for it.

I think you’ll have yours any day now, they have some stock built up on their website.

A TriggerTech Special would fit the bill perfectly for your application.

I’ll take a look at it, thanks for the recommendation

I recently picked up a MDT m5. Very very nice. Will work perfectly for comp. My night hunting rig is set up with a night stalker and Badger Ordinance m5 sporter so I can run Hawkins mags.

I use the Hawkins Hunter bottom metal on my night stalker. I use their Hunter mags as well as MDT metal mags in it without issue. I will say that the polymer MDT mags do not fit into my Hawkins bottom metal. They would require some minor filing and I’m too lazy for all that, so only metal is my recommendation.

I did that exact MDT bottom metal. Even on a hunting rig I don’t mind a small barricade stop, and the adjustable latch is great.
