Manners pro hunter or LRH?

[ArthurMorgan]

Hey everyone, first post here.

I'm looking to build a new hunting rifle in 7 SAUM. Probably using a Kelbly Atlas lite action. Proof or Bart carbon barrel. Not sure on scope yet.

I've never handled a manners stock.
As far as the cheek weld is concerned on the pro hunter, can a good check weld be obtained while having a 90 degree bolt throw and a larger scope without having to lift my check off the butt or the bolt interfering with the scope?

If not I'll probably go with the LRH, the spacer system isn't appealing to me though, and if I raise it, I imagine I'm going to have to take it down when I clean the barrel and then reassemble it back on.

Any thoughts from you manners folks? Nicest stock I've ever owned was a KRG bravo, so I'm really stepping it up here. Haha!

Thanks!

Not sure how the bolt may or may not interfere but I like my pro hunter. It has an atacr on it and I don't have any issues with cheek weld or the bolt.or needing to use an adjusting cheek piece. To me it just adds unnecessary weight.

Of those two choices, I'm personally a fan the pro hunter. I never run an elevated cheek piece, use more of a jaw weld VS cheek weld. Personally, I find the McMillan Mtn tracker lr superior to either manners stocks. It has all the benefits of the manners like integrated arca and flush picatinny rail up front, but the higher negative comb and near flat toe line similar to the rokstok. I have 2 in my household, and a few rokstoks. I just ordered 3 more McMillans to swap onto other rifles.

Are you bedding those Mcmillan mtn trackers?

Yes, bedding the action always helps. I do not bed a chassis unless it's a magnum cartridge. I've not found bedding to increase accuracy or consistency in 308 diameter cases in a chassis, however higher recoil cartridges, bedding the recoil lug(at minimum) has shown benefits.

I really like my manners PH. Have two now. Running low NF Ultralight rings with a NSX 2.5-10. Definitely not a high cheek weld, somewhere intbetween cheek and chin. Doesn’t bother me at all

The mcmillan mountain tracker looks like a good stock, very similar to the manners ph but the grip to trigger distance feels longer on all mcmillans compared to my manners stocks and I hate that stupid grip trigger notch thing. I'm not sure they make a "tall grip" in the mt or not. I did handle one and did not like it at all

The Mtn tracker isn't much longer trigger distance VS the rokstok. There's a picture around here somewhere showing my hand position with a 90° trigger press. I do have larger than avg hands tho. It's a comfortable grip. The trigger reach is closer than my eh1 or pro hunter, or the TCS that I had for a short time.

I am also a fan of the manners PH. Recently settled on the PH over LRH and happy I did. Lighter weight, to me the cheek weld fits nicely and does everything I was looking for in a lightweight hunting build. Another thing I liked about manners in general is the mini and micro chassis options. Drop it in and you’re ready to shoot, no bedding required.
