THANK YOU Very much, I have got nothing but 'insults' about how 'Well I know Manners is great and while maybe you like the thumbhole, which I don't [several ppl said this], I don't like the color looks but hey your money' ... which of course kind of hurts .
It is Forest Camo... Now I will be honest here, the picture I bought it from was not exactly the way this looks but I love it just the same. I am not at all good with ordering things, and waiting (in this case what, 26 weeks minimum?) ... So while I always knew Manners was regarded as one of if not the new overall BEST, I just couldn't look at them because I wanted to buy and get it. Then I finally saved up the money AGAIN, having made a decision to buy the AICS but the WORLD was out of stock in March or early April... Then I spent the money, they came back in stock, I couldn't buy one. Started saving again, started looking, convinced myself maybe AICS was not the solution for me, and I saw Stockys had a tan colored MCS T5A DBM [exactly the model I wanted in an acceptable color.]... While Googling to make sure everyone loved their Manners [most people say they will never use another stock now that they have a Manners, and at nearly $1100 that is really saying something]... I saw that Euro Optic has started carrying MCS ... And they had TWO T5A DBM's for S/A 700s. And they both had the sling studs I would have wanted [and as it turns out a set of flush cups which was just gravy baby smothering on the potatoes..].. and I chose between Forest Camo and Desert Camo. It came down to the fact my family just bought 30 acres of land in FL, and sometime within the next 6 to 12 I should be moving down there and starting a new life if you will. So IMHO the Forest Camo "matched" my new wooded 30 acres of land much much better, borderline perfectly.
As I stated, the picture was a measure more "green" than this but hey, it's what I got , it's considered the best of the best and no one is going to have one exactly like mine right? And some day I might find someone to pay for a cerakote job, maybe color-camo'ing the rifle and scope etc. and sort of blending in with the base color camo. I just don't have $350-500 I have been quoted for it right now but someday!
Again thank you very much you made my morning seriously.
