[QUOTE="CW Boz, post: 2009174, member: 106063"] I too was in the market for a new stock for a WIN M70 that I'm repurposing to 35 Whelen. I settled on Manners primarily because it's a local company for me. Before pulling the trigger, I went to their shop a couple of weeks ago and i'll offer my feedback from that visit. Great group of people that work there for sure. They answered all of my questions and let me put my hands on all of their stocks to evaluate grips, contours, forends, cheek pieces, and colors. I found that the raised cheek piece on the EH6 was just right, not straight and not high like the EH2/3. In terms of the grip, I too was very interested in the lengthened grip, palm swell, and vertical grips. It seemed like the stocks with the palm swell or vertical grip felt good when shouldered but uncomfortable when in the ready or carry position. It seems to me that when carrying a rifle, the majority of a rifles time is spent in the carry/ready position. IMO, a grip that was thin gave me more leverage to swing it and shoulder it. The EH6 has a traditional shaped grip but it is thinner and that really sold me on that stock. The EH3 and EH8 were runners up for sure. Remember, the stock will still need to be finished; pillar's installed and bedded so that is an additional cost. Color/finish - I'm not a big fan of the carbon fiber look or the webbing so I went with a solid dark grey color without the webbing. Should look nice with a SS rifle. That means I have a 13.0 LOP H-S stock for sale... Obliviously I'm in the cue and will be waiting awhile but my impression was that they employ a group of high caliber, competent people who are passionate about their product. And, they offer a plethora of options for their stocks which is a plus for the consumer. My advise, give them a call or go to a local gunsmith that might have a few different stocks that you can handle. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
