Has anyone tried both of these? Specifically; I want to know about the distance from the grip to the trigger. Are they comparable? Does one place the hand nearer or farther from the trigger? I have handled a Manners T4, and found the reach to the trigger comfortable, I'm wondering how the A6 feels in comparison, as I prefer the features of the A6.
McMillan A6 or Manners T4?

Laying a yard stick parallel with the stock. My A6 measured 1 13/16” from grip to where middle of finger touches B&A trigger. Probably useless info!
Sold my T4’s off in favor of the A6 PRS. Have two now and have two more coming...
Unfortunately I no longer have any T4’s to verify the distance but from what I can remember the grip difference was negligible.
Forgot to mention that if you do have smaller hands then skip the A6 all together and get the A10

That's the type of info I was looking for, thanks! I'm guessing you measured from the front of the grip to the face of the trigger?
If the grip difference was negligible, I think I should find the A6 to be just as comfortable. I do have smaller hands, but I didnt like the design of the A10.
Kelblys is building my rifle and I asked them if they could set the action back 1/2", now I'm wondering if it's necessary. I know some people are using A5s at local matches, I'll ask them if I can check out their rifles, McMillan says they have similar grips to the A6.
Yes. It’s a PRS model also, runs well off of protektor bag on bench.

The A5 and T4 are about the same measurement. I have a trigger shoe on the T4 set up but looks real close to the 1 13/16.
Where are you located?
Las Vegas, NV
Personally I prefer the McMillan stocks. Fit and feel too me are better than manners. I'm sure you'll get other opposite opinions. I'm not saying manners stocks aren't top shelf, they are. I just prefer for how they feel in my hands and in my conditions, the McMillan's in the A4/5 configuration.
I've thought about trying a similar stock like the A4, ot A5. Which has the closest ergos to the A6?
Have you looked at the Manners PRS stocks? They are nice and have a slimmer more squared off forend like the A6.
Also have you thought about the Manners Mini Chassis if you need a DBM? They work great and are drop in with a 700 footprint action. I have 5 Manners stocks with them and they work great.
