Seekins LA Build Question on BM

[Jsmith410]

I have a Seekins Havak Long Action I am building a 280ai on. I am about to order my stock but I'm stuck on what BM to use. Ideally I'd like to find something with a 3 round mag. I can do 5 if I have to but 3 would be best given it will be a hunting rifle.

I was thinking about the manners LA mini chassis but not sure if it is worth the extra money but then again that could eliminate bedding.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Curtis Customs has a 3 round magazine that fits pretty flush.

If you want 3 round capacity, why not just go BDL and save some weight, and eliminate the possibility of a lost or forgotten magazine in the field? And save some cost.

The Manners mini chassis is nice. I have not needed to bed 2 of mine. But the chassis adds about 1# to the stock. And adds significant cost as well. If a DBM is a must, it is a nice platform.
