This is straight from Tom @ Manners Stocks! He made this for me to run my 8000 Lawton action on. This one is in 408CT with a GG&G HD Bipod and Quicksilver Manufacturing Suppressor. Overall an excellent package. Tom builds a hell of a stock and they are ROCK solid. The comfort level with this system is superb much better then the McRee chassis or the McMillan A5 that it came in. Thumbs up to Tom and his crew!

Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

I really like that .

Did you gain more weight with that or lose a couple of pounds?


Very nice looking rifle.
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

Damn is all I can say...very nice.

How does a guy get into your line of work? Seriously, you have some awesome toys.
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

How much did it cost for the stock, since it was a "custom"? I really like the Manners stock. Probably will go with that for my 375 CT, when I have the fund.
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

Well my father and I own one of the largest road/bridge/concrete/grading companies in KY. So without my line of work I wouldn't be able to afford these rigs! I am truly blessed to have a grandfather that had ambitions to own his own company and do it the right way. We have been in business for 40+ years.

It lost weight when I took it out of the other two stocks for sure.

Range report is coming!

Stock was around $800.00 put that depends on what action your putting in it.

Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

that's not bad at all. I guess I know what stock to put in my future 375 CT then.
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

Great looking rig. What DBM are you using that handles that length of a case. Your OAL must be over 4".
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

Does Moon like bourbon? Beer is for college kids. I will hook him up with the good stuff!!! What about you George? I owe you a few for all the stuff you've done for me. The least I can do is get you sloshed on top shelf bourbon!

I got the bottom metal directly from Bruce Baer, very nice kit but my old mag had way to much wobble and now I have to look for a new one.
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

I chose it because Tom Manners makes excellent equipment for an affordable price. This was his new design and I wanted my rig to be comfortable and built like a tank, thats why I chose his stock design.

The thumbhole is very comfortable to me on this setup.
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

What a sweet rifle. I have to agree with you about Manners stocks. I have 2 of them and they are both excellent.

Looks like the GG&G or Bobro bipod.

I am curious why you chose a thumbhole stock? Why did you choose that particular stock? </div></div>

B/c properly built thumbhole's are awesome...

Gotta give props to this guy! He made the bolt knob for me and I tooled out the bottom to take some weight off.
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

It's a safe bet anytime KY starts a thread there's gonna be a some nice toys in it.

As far as your job and all, whenever I get tired of studying I get on here and look at all the toys. Then I study more because I really want nice things in life.

For the mags check with Bruce Baer or Bobby Lawton. Not sure on their export laws though.... good luck with your search.
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

One SWEEEET Stick !! With the recent group buy on the T5 and T5A's we should be seeing several new creations appearing on the hide.
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

Great job KY.I'd buy the bourbon if I could just look at the collection in the man cave.
 
Re: Manners T5A - 408CT

Bourbon is always welcomed. Im going to get a nice bottle and send to George and Moon as a thank you.
