Help with long range stock selection

Not hijacking thread but quick question. Are those the Bushnell Tactical scopes? Do you like them?


Yessir. Elite Tactical LRTS's. I must like them some, as I've got 13 LRTS/LRHS's....

I sold the rifle as I did not like the entire rig. The Game Hunter was nice but I did not like the large cheek rest on the side. The Terrain is more my style, grip, fit, etc... More slim line and easier for me to pack but also very capable of long range shots. I like it so much I built a second rig with it, 6.5 PRC and a 300 PRC. I use a buttstock cheek rest ammo carrier on both that allows me adjustability if needed but I've never needed to adjust. They've got 20% off for Black Friday, BF2020 is discount code. They will do any of the camo offered for any of their stocks on the Terrain also. Email Ryan Melancon direct if you have questions, [email protected]. If I'm not mistaken Grayboe was started by one of the McMillan boys. Here's pics of my rigs.

They are nice looking stocks! Its been my personal experience with most things in life that you get what you pay for. Do you feel like the grayboe is as of good quality as the ncmillan and manners?

I do feel the quality is on par with the others. The Grayboe finishes are all Cerakote/Duracote painted or they are hydro dipped. They do not offer the colored gel coat finishes like McMillan or Manners. I also have a Carbon Fiber Mesa Precision stock that I like very much. Fit and finish are great. See below. Redhawk rifles is offering discounts on Grayboe and MP stocks this weekend also.

Take a look at the mcmillan htg it is similar to a rem bdl. But it has a fuller more verticle grip. Not tactical verticle but enough to feel comfortable laying down prone. These were the original sniper stocks back in the day and I use them on most all my hunting rifles. They make the same stock with a tactical forearm too.

Im looking for some advice from anyone who is willing to give it about selecting a long range hunting stock. I current have a manners mcs-t on my custom rig. Its a 7mm rem mag with a blueprinted and trued remington 700 long action and a brux #4 barell, talley high rings and a zeiss conquest v6 5-30x50 scope. The manners mcs t is a nice stock with an excellent comb height but i do not like the grip at all, its more in between feeling to me (not quite vertical and not quite traditional) Ive shot traditional grip rifles all my life, for example a browning x bolt and remington 700 bdl with a factory wood stock so thats what im most used to but i also have a browning x bolt hells canyon long range with the mcmillan game scout stock and i really like that stock other than the low comb height. I also like the texture and feel of the mcmillan better than the manners elite hunter carbon fiber shell, the manners feels too smooth and harder to grip firmly than the mcmillan, the mcmillan has a much better texture and easier to hold on to while wearing glove when hunting. Anyways the stocks im looking at or as follows...manners eh6A, manner eh1, mcmillan game hunter, mcmillan game stalker, or grayboe outlander with an adjustable cheek piece. I deer hunt in the southeast and shots can be from any position, free hand while standing, from treestands (some with good rifle rests and some not so great), sitiing, prone, off of primos trigger sticks, or even off the hood of a truck with a jacket underneath the forearm for support. I built this rifle with the dream of one day going to wyoming, Montana, or colorado on an elk or mule deer hunt so the rifle would be used for spot and stalk style hunting as well. I like a rifle to have some weight to it as i find it easier to hold steady for long distance shots but also dont want a piece of pulp wood to tote around either. It currents weights a tad over 9.5 lbs with the manners t and honestly feels a bit front heavy. I would the total weight with scope to be from 10 to 10.5 lbs. So any and all suggestions or advice about the stocks listed above would be greatly appreciated and also what do you guys find to be the best grip for all arpund hunting with the intention of making long range shots when need be from any given position, vertical such as the mcmillan game hunter and manners eh1 or more traditional such as the mcmillan game stalker, manners eh6a or grayboe outlander? Thanks ahead of time for the help.
Take a look at Boyd's will give you a few more ideas

I recently used this McMillian Artemis is a great stock for LR shooting. It's a Barbour Creek Proprietary pattern. They sell it in standard and Edge. I bought mine directly from Barbour Creek after checking it out at a trade show.
