drglock Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I have a T4A with the mini chassis on my custom .308 . I think they are a pretty good system . No need for bedding the action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsnuked Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I've had a few for different rifles. Works great and no need to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCDRJGB Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The manners mcs is my favorite chassis system. I have owned 3 of them, but am down to 1 as I moved them to fund other rifle build projects. They hold their value quite well. Since many receivers use the 700 footprint, they are pretty "modular", but there are a couple of nuances to consider (e.g., relieving some area for a Timney trigger or for a side bolt release). Some receivers have a longer ejection port and may not line up just right if you get one inletted for a Rem 700. Also, the Rem 700 has a swept back handle, so if you are going to use the MCS for multiple receivers, make sure you tell Manners when you order. You may save a few ounces by going the traditional bedding route, but I was not able to shoot the difference with a Surgeon 591 6.5CM in a pillar bedded MCM A5 and a Manners T3 mini-chassis. Also, it will accommodate large after market recoil lugs if you have a custom rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Weidhaas Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Have (2), MCS T and T6A. Highly recommend them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 To follow the trend above, they are excellent. I don't like AR or thumbhole stocks on my precision bolt guns so having a standard stayle stock with the advantages of a DBM and bolt in and go is a huge thing. I have 2 mini chassis stocks now and my third, a folder, is out getting put on my latest Crescent Custom build. Manners are excellent stocks.

Adam B Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 If you want the benefits of a chassis but like the look and feel of a traditional stock the Manners mini chassis is the way to go for sure. I have bedded my chassis and also ran several unbedded, it made no noticeable difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointblanktx Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 They are great, I have both a Manners T4a that is bedded and a Manners T4a with a mini chassis and there is not loss of accuracy with the chassis and it is soo much nicer not having to bed and re-bed after a few years, etc. Plus if you change actions you dont have to worry about the bedding not matching up with the chassis.

aahunt03 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Awesome. I think I have my heart set on the mini chassis over the McMillan stocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Happy Gila Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I have a MCS T stock with mini-chassis and Badger bottom metal and have been very pleased with the performance. This purchase has probably been the only smart decision I've made when buying gun parts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointblanktx Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Awesome. I think I have my heart set on the mini chassis over the McMillan stocks. I think you will be happy with it, but a McMillan is a great stock as well, so you really cant make a bad choice between either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Almost any stock can be retrofitted with a DBM but getting a stock with integrated DBM and mini-chassis is going to be less bother. Manners and McMillan both make excellent stocks. If a pistol grip appeals to you then the AICS is a good choice. If you are on a budget then an HS Precision can be fitted with a PTG DBM by any competent gunsmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
