I've been looking into a new stock for my savage 10pc and have narrowed it down to the Manners T4. The problem is I have never seen one in person. I have shot a rifle with a McMillan A4 and loved it. My question is are they similar enough in feel to drop that kind of money on the Manners without ever getting behind one. Thanks.

Re: Manners T4 vs. McMillan A4
I've never been behind a mcmillan, but I used to own a manners t4. The one thing I didn't like about the t4 was the palm swell was big. I have smaller hands so it never fit me. The manners t2 has a smaller palm swell. It's something to consider if you have smaller hands. Other then that manners makes an exceptional stock. Hope this helps.

Re: Manners T4 vs. McMillan A4
As you have stated, I bought an A4 as well untried. I loved it. Let a buddy try it and he bought one as well. I've had a few pm's with Tom and he is a great guy, but I do love the A4. I've also got a few HTGs and like them as well but that is for another thread.

Re: Manners T4 vs. McMillan A4
T4 is apples to apples with a McM A5, and both kick ass, there's just a slighty different feel, and the Manners' bottom lines of the forend and rear of the butt behind the hook are parallel for bag riding if needed.
The A4 is its own animal with that block of a forend, if you liked the A4, get that.

It lets people know where you are and there may be someone that can let you check one out.

Thanks again for letting me shoot it. It has definetly got me into researching stocks again. I will give you a shout the next time I'm out there. Its usually no more than a week or two between trips.

The reason I am looking at the T4 is because most other stocks from other companies do not offer a version that will work with my DBM on my Savage. Most are blind mag or spring for a badger type system. Unless I'm missing something, the Manners is the only one that will inlet my stock for my DBM with no upcharge. I know a badger dbm would be better, but its way too much for me to swing at this point.
I will also fill out my profile, thanks for the heads up.

Re: Manners T4 vs. McMillan A4
RFutch,
We make A5's for Savage with their DBM and floor plates. The A5 has the same vertical grip as the A4.
