[QUOTE="Crowe284, post: 1649542, member: 97064"] That is a gen 1 Manners compact stock with the gen 2 mini chassis. It has the elite shell and gap camo. There is a gen 2 of that stock with a normal length fore-end now. I also had them install the optional lightweight carbon fiber adjustable cheek piece in the stock. Yes, running this on a bighorn origin short action using binder plate free accurate mag. You can use the 300 wsm mags or do like I did because I had an extra and use a .308 mag and adjust the feed lips. Super happy with the build. The awesome part is with the mini chassis and ability to use shouldered prefit barrels, there is no long wait on a full build from a smith. With a viper barrel vice, rear entry action wrench and a toque wrench you can do everything yourself in minutes. The bolthead swap on the bighorn action takes about 3 minutes and the barrel swaps about 20 minutes max. I didn’t even have to remove scope from action. Just spun 6cm barrel off, spun 6.5 PRC on, torqued to 100 ft lbs, bolted back on mini chassis and was shooting in 30 minutes. Nick is super to work with. I have not in all my experience, run across another smith that takes more time to talk to you about what you want to do. So nice to get things right the first time. He’s earned my business and I’m **** happy to give it to him. [/QUOTE]
