[QUOTE="Ripper, post: 411602, member: 25842"] Hi trebark, Again thanks for putting the time forth explaining things and the picture helped out extremely with better understanding. I am on order with Manner's and need some help ordering the stock. They needed some information I didn't have all of when I needed it. They needed my LOP and of course I have no idea how to measure for that at all. They needed to know what "barrel contour?" I was going to go with as well and I didn't have that information either. The only information I gave her was that it was a R700 bottom metal assembly. I felt like a jerkoff. She said it was no problem that I had plenty of time to change anything I needed to. For now it's one thing at a time and I guess I have to crawl before I can walk and so on... -For this stock I need to know what barrel company and contour I am going to be using? Am I saying this right? -I also need to find out my LOP even know I have a funny feeling I am pretty standard as far as arm reach "I am guessing that is what it is to trigger finger"? My biggest question I would like to have some advice on is I have found several different bottom metal's now since I have been learning more about them reading around. I learned that Manner's actually has their own bottom metal's but I don't know how they match up against the other's I have found. The nice thing about going with the Manner's if I chose them is is built by Badger and Manner's installs it free of charge. So some advice would be greatly appreciated in choosing my bottom metal and figuring out a good barrel and contour to go with. So with that being said let me ask opinion on these option's for the BMA's: 1. [URL="http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=26742/Product/REMINGTON_700_BOTTOM_METAL_ASSEMBLY"]Tactical Rifles[/URL] - Reading about sounds like tank 2. [URL="http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=27538/Product/BOTTOM_METAL_WITH_DETACHABLE_MAGAZINE"]Surgeon Rifles[/URL] - Low-profile ambidextrous magazine release sounds nice 3. [URL="http://www.mannersstocks.com/mcs-dbm.html"]Manners Stocks [/URL]- Built by badger; installed free of charge by Manner's. 4. Other? Badger Ordnance? The sooner I get all of this information the better I would imagine. I am strongly considering calling Manners and going with theirs. One good thing is they took my email being a us.army.mil they told me I was going to get a mil discount. I have no idea how much it is but it's still nice. I REALLY appreciate the time and schooling me up to par. I am learning a lot really fast. Thanks again trebark and rest, RiP [/QUOTE]
