Add one of these to get a comfy, raised cheek weld.

I've yet to see a stock the stock pack won't fit. I had one on an A-5, now have one on each of three Manners T-4, which is pretty much the same stock.

You can lead a horse to water, you can't make him drink.

That's not true. I've seen Dr. Pol make a horse drink something it didn't want to.


I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

Yes, it's MOA but I will dial...no BDC... in Jason's honor.

Got a note back from Triad confirming Jason reply, they do fit the A-5. Triad makes two, one with the zipper pack and cartridge loops, one just for raising cheek weld.

I'll shoot this gun first and get one if needed. I need to get it zeroed, loads some rounds and head to Jason's for some LR tuning. Fishing looks good there juggle

Hey KR, hope you and "The Woman" are doing great !!!

You still have my phone number, Buzz?

Give me as much heads up as you can, and you'll probably have the range to yourself for the day. Sometimes even saying "can I shoot tomorrow?" works...sometimes.
