Does anyone here run one? I wanna get behind one and see if I would like it. It sounds like the palm swell is absolutely ginormous and I wanna make sure that I can even grip one.
Hands down the best fiberglass stock out there. I have owned McMillan, Manners, Roberts, HS and B&C.
Their palm swell are not huge. Very comfortable.

The odds are you will see several at Hoser's Prairie Dog Match, or the CRC Long Range match. Just go and ask to check out someones gear/rifle. Long Range shooters are friendly...
I have a Manners T1 and I love it. My only complaint is a rounder bottom on the fore end would be nice to prevent my bipod from pivoting left to right. I have their (Manners) chassis system in the stock as well. It's an awesome combo.
I got to play with a new Manners folder at the Snipers Hide Cup, it locked up tight, and folded very nicely. I've never seen a bad Manners product, and their customer service is amazing.

How big would you say the palm swell is? My hands typically fit into medium gloves with some give.

I have a Manners T4A and love it. I will be at the Prairie Dog match Sat. afternoon and you are welcome to test drive it if you like.

I would guess you will be fine. I have skinny hands and had no problem with my T4A.

That would be your best bet... You will see lots of different flavors of stocks on the line.
I saw you have an AICS 1.5 for sale, are you replacing that with the manners?if so what are you needing that you don't get with that or it's it just preference?

Primarily the weight of the AICS, other than that I love it, it fits me well. I had to lug it around a little bit last time I went shooting and it got a little tiring, lol.
I understand, I have a sniper fill McMillan and it's not light by any stretch. The McMillan I have has huge palm swell as well. I have large hands I suppose and it's difficult for me to grip, but accuracy is amazing. I don't often take the rifle on long distance treks so I like the extra weight, makes a day of shooting manageable. I may be interested in your AICS actually, got a chance to get behind one and loved the thumbhole and grip position
I have small hands and find the T-4 Manners stock to be very comfortable.

I have the T3, also wear medium gloves and don't have any problems with the palm swell. Great stocks that are well worth the price.
