Just got a new Manners T4A stock with mini chasis a couple weeks ago. Perfect fit for my APA 308 Win that Jered built me last year. I really think I am going to like this stock. A couple pics...

I really dig the new stock, and if it shoots half as good as it looks your gonna have one heck of a rifle on your hands

Not bedded. Its not necessary with the mini chasis.

Re: New Look for the APA 308 Win
Here are some groups I shot the other day at the range. It was very windy out so not the best day for testing out new loads. Im still trying to find a load that works. I think I am getting there...
5 Rounds at 100 yards. 0.240"
5 rounds, 100 yds: 0.317"
3 rounds, 100 yds: 0.175"

Nice rig ! APA makes one hell of a rifle. I love the GAP camo too. It makes a package complete.

Re: New Look for the APA 308 Win
My two recipes for the 308 loads that I used in my APA rifle:
1. 175gr SMK; RL15 43.2gr; BHA 5x fired brass; OAL 2.825"
2. Same components and OAL but 44.4gr of Varget
My APA likes RL15 a little bit better then the Varget...so far. I am still working up my ideal load.

Re: New Look for the APA 308 Win
Thanks. Manners doesnt paint stocks anymore so its not available through them. They did it for me b/c I was grandfathered in from when I placed my stock order. There are a few guys on here that can replicate that paint job exactly.
