Traditional wood stocks and Modern Chassis

[Sdvldog1371]

I have had McMillan, Have a few manners and have a HNT26. The McMillan and Manners are carbon fiber shells and are flat out heavier than the HNT26. If you want weight savings, there are several 20 oz. stocks out there. If you truly want lightweight carbon, you may want to steer clear of the manners and mcMillan. Great stocks, but not the lightest. I recently had a run in with a member at the range and he was showing me his new build. He showed me his manners stock, knowing I have several and asked if he should send it in for repair...the seam at the cheek portion of the buttstock was broken and pushed in. He has no idea how it happened other than being pulled in and out of his gun safe. I'm thinking they're running foam in their buttstocks like MDT to save weight. Just something to keep in mind....lighter may mean potentially more fragile. I had never seen or heard of it until last Friday.

Unfortunately the club President told me I can't shoot them as we're inside state park land...not a bad range, 100 and 200 yard birms and a pistol range. (see below) I did ask him if that was the case, why is there some racks to dress them out on??? It's owned by the Sheriff. $50/year w/RFID access. Open from sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset.

I don't know how one can be quiet as a church mouse all deer season and not see a deer, but go to the range when the firing line is busy, and they just wander out and feed like nothings happening, and stand in front of or behind targets...like a big old middle finger. Still deer season, but it's like they know you're not allowed to shoot them on the range. I can't count the number of times I've had to cease firing because of deer crossing the firing line during deer season.

Funny thing is I have a ton of deer at my property, they bed down where I'm building a home/shop, some are pretty nice ones! But I can't shoot them, inside city limits around the lake.

And something heavy was placed on it in either a soft case or out of the case. If he didn't do that, someone else around him did. That must take quite a bit of force to do that.
