[QUOTE="Rockfish Dave, post: 893798, member: 14257"] I have the Manners TF-4 Folding stock with mini-chassis on my 284-Shehane. The folding option and mini-chassis add a little weight. The lock-up is rock solid as is the mechanism that locks it in the folded position. Hinge is on the left side so if you are a leftie that may be a source of irritation. I am a rightie but really don't think it would bother me if I were not, because of how I grip the stock (thumb on top/side, finger tips on grip and palm only lightly touching). I also have a McRee with the folding mechanism as well for reference (another fine option). Personal likes: [LIST=1] [*]The traditional materials are less snag prone when using a Eberlestock pack [*]The feel of a non-chassis stock [*]Weight is very reasonable [*]The added weight for my options shifts the weight [U]a little[/U] further back. [*]Molded in color. [*]Ease of transporting. I can use the same soft case that I use to transport my AR-15 to transport my 28" long barreled, long action rifle (that is a huge positive in my book). It was a drag transporting other non-folding rifles around before. [/LIST] Dislikes: [LIST=1] [*]Cannot really use a stock pack because it interferes with the locking mechanism that locks the stock in the folded position. [*]Cost, by the time I add all the options I want it get's pricey. [/LIST] So where does that leave me? For my ELR build that is in process: I have ordered the TF1, with mini chassis to feed the CIP length Lapua Mag Magazines. I know that the CIP length magazine is not ideal for what I am doing, but the lack of availability of the Seekins vs. the abundance of CIP magazines drove my decision. Plus for ELR plinking I will be single feeding anyways and for hunting I will be using the Barnes TTSX & TSX which have a shorter Ogive and like to be jumped so should work fine in the CIP length magazine for the intended use. In summary I will not own another non-folding stock again. Being in the city, it means my shooting involves transporting my rifle every time I want to go shooting, so it is a feature that adds allot to the enjoyment of my hobby. [/QUOTE]
