[QUOTE="Deerhunter89, post: 2032337, member: 116284"] Im looking for some advice from anyone who is willing to give it about selecting a long range hunting stock. I current have a manners mcs-t on my custom rig. Its a 7mm rem mag with a blueprinted and trued remington 700 long action and a brux #4 barell, talley high rings and a zeiss conquest v6 5-30x50 scope. The manners mcs t is a nice stock with an excellent comb height but i do not like the grip at all, its more in between feeling to me (not quite vertical and not quite traditional) Ive shot traditional grip rifles all my life, for example a browning x bolt and remington 700 bdl with a factory wood stock so thats what im most used to but i also have a browning x bolt hells canyon long range with the mcmillan game scout stock and i really like that stock other than the low comb height.
