Palm swell and bedding on these stocks?

[neoinarien]

So I have a NIB Remington 5r that I've kept with the tags, unshot, for about 8 months now because the HS Precision stock drives me nuts (well, I've done a small amount of dry firing). The palm swell is just out of control for my medium sized hands.

I was looking at the McMillan HTG or the Manners MCS-T, Manners T5.

I know it's a 'whatever stock fits and works for you!' game. But I don't know anyone who owns these, let alone a nearby store that sells them.

How is the palm swell on these?

Also, I know from the 'Hide video that the T5 stock can function as a drop in... can the same be said for the others? (it appears not on McMillan, but just wondering).

Thanks guys

Sandpaper is your answer....

However I will tell you that one of the reasons I like my B&C Light Tactical is because it doesn't have the big honking palm swell or the huge forend.

Just make sure you wear a mask/respirator. You don't to breathe that stuff when you sand it.

Palm swell on the HTG and Manners both are much more slim than the 5R HS stock. It is a bit of a trade off as neither is a drop in and shoot answer as either should be bedded.

If you decide to go with our mini chassis, it is a drop in. We offer it in any of our stocks. It gives you the benifit of a drop in setup as well as detatchable bottom metal.

I would really like to go this route. Gotta save up some dough though.

Do you have any interest in selling the 5R stock?
