Manners t1?

[AZJonny]

Hey guys shopping for a new stock and I couldn't find much info on the t1. I like he high comb on it and there's a few ready to ship. Is anybody using it? How does it compare to their their models? I've never tried a manners before but I like mcmillans. The a4 with the long wide grip fits me the best.

Thanks guys,

Jon

I love my Manners T1, and I love my Manners T3. The T1 has a slimmer forend, which I think is better for a hunting rifle and it is a little lighter. The T1 below is a 300Win Mag, and the T3 is a 308. My next build is a 223 also using a T1. The wide forened on the T3 is nice for getting a stable rest.

Edit: Search this forum and you will find plenty on Manner products and posts by Tom Manners himself. If you have any burning questions I would just pick up the phone and call them.

I have the T1 and T3 and just ordered another T1. Moses told you straight. The comb is higher than the HTG, so you do not have to run a stock pack. I like having the ammo at hand, so I run a pack with no padding under it and it works out well. I still like my M40s, too.

Is this the stock you mean?

I almost ordered one about a year ago, but they said it was designed with a short-ish length of pull (which is why it, as well as the GAT, come with the butt spacer system standard), and that it probably couldn't get to the 14.5" that I like, so I went with a T4. I really like the look of it, but I don't think most of the newer options are available on it because it was one of the first Manners designs.

Thanks for your input guys but I was actually referring to the one Justin posted, thanks Justin! Although I was also considering the t3 as you guys mentioned.

I was actually thinking of buying the t1 specifically because it had a spacer system and was ready to ship. I'll need at least a 14.5 length of pull so maybe I'm better off to go with something else.

I really like my T4, and it easily does that length of pull. I think if I were ordering a new Manners though, I would go with a T5A or a T6A. Completely different stocks, but I like both the thumbhole and the slimmer fore end and sloped butt on the T6 are pretty nice too.
