ive had a manners stock since 2008. My friend is friends with the owner of manners, they called him in 2007 looking for a bottom bolt release savage to prototype a new mini chassis. Well my friend didnt have one but i did and i got a new stock out of them using my rifle. well my stock broke around the pillars and i sent it in on monday. Today i got a email that they could fix it but it will break again cause there is so little "meat" around the pillars. so they wanted to know if a mini chassis would work as replacement....i giggled like a little girl when i said yes... if you ever can afford a manners they are a great company and hold up their warranties. here are a couple of pics of my stock.
