    Input and insight

    So here's the back story. I shoot right handed but have spent some time with a left hand bolt action. I thought that might be the way to go so I got myself a left hand rifle(savage model 10, got a deal from a buddy). In my quest for a comfortable, compact, light weight, unique setup I went ahead and got myself an XLR Chassis for it as well. Between getting the rifle and getting the new stock I spent some time behind the gun and decided that shooting a left hand action as a right handed shooter isn't such an advantage, especially from the prone. I have far more time on a right hand rifle than left and I just can't get used to the left hand. I've now sold the rifle and have rethought my approach and am going back to right hand and back to a conventional stock(the XLR is for sale, just saying).

    So here's the question(s) I have for those who have more time at this than I. I'm still leaning towards a detachable mag over a blind mag setup. I like the more pronounced pistol grip styles but I'm not sold on the classic "ar/AK" style pistol grip(hence the departure from the XLR). What options am I left with, and what features are deemed more necessary than others?

    Difficult questions to answer, as they all are really user preference.

    Obviously a detachable mag is the way to go.

    I hear good things about Manners stocks, but the McMillan A5 seems to be the gold standard. Any thoughts or experiences with these?

    Love manners stocks. My favorite actually.

    Selling this rifle right now. It's got a manners T4A with molded in "midnight" camo. Great stocks.

    That's more what I'm looking for in a stock. Does it use AI mags?
