[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 128309, member: 10"] 600 Nitro, The nice thing about hunting with Shawn and Travis is that they knew I could shoot but they also had been there done that with mysterious misses and never once did they show any frustration at the misses, ever!! They were nothing but 100% supportive and upbeat. Never once did I get the impression they were getting tired of hunting with me and that made it much easier to keep rolling and looking foward to the next early morning or late evening. Concerning the Manner stock, I really did like it on this hunt. Only thing I would change would be to drop the barrel weight I was using on this rifle by a lb or a bit more. The barreled receiver sits slightly higher in this stock then in say a McMillan A-5 and the VERY heavy barrel I used made the rifle feel a bit more tippy then it should have and a lighter barrel would have suited this stock much better. That said, when you get her settled into a rear bag and on a solid front bipod, she is **** stable. One critical thing though is having the rear bag as solid as possible. With the rifle being a bit muzzle heavy, if the rear bag is not completely solid you will see it down range. This may have been a factor on the misses on that buck at 750 yards because I had to stack some things up to get the rear back high enough to even touch the stock. Who knows but I think it may have been a factor with those misses. Not the rifles fault, jut another lesson learned about setting up for LR hunting shots!! All in all I was very impressed with the stocks performance. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
