Your favorite McMillan stock?
I was wondering what is your favorite McMillan stock for varmint shooting?
On the ground? On a table? Off hand? I myself quite like the the A-3 modell.. |

Hunter class
A couple years I built a 20 VT on a hunter class McMillian stock. I had a swivel stud added so I could use a Harris bi-pod on it. Wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but I really do. The bi-pod option is great for shooting off the ground or a table. The 2 1/4 inch wide flat stock rides a rest pretty nice.
It is not for carrying around much or shooting off hand. If I want to miss something off hand I will use my 17 HMR. |

None, they're plastic crap.
Gotta have wood on my guns. Old fashioned old fart.

i have has several but sold them, too heavy but very consistent. I have one on a 20 vt now that I don't shoot. I think its because the stock makes the gun heavier than a sako vixen should.
I personally prefer the mpi by doc for my day to day rifles. used a hs precision on a bench/varmint rifle on a Lawton action. felt like I need wheels on it so I sold it too. George why don't you tell us how you really feel. can't help but feel like you are holding back.

A few years ago, on one of the long range hunting forums, the question was asked if anyone liked the idea of a "laminated" A5. Last I saw there was about 125 pages of people that were all over that idea. I ended up with a "A5L". Laminated A5 in just about any color you could think of. Mine ended up being pictured on the WWW before I ever saw it. We named it "San Francisco Camo". A little on the heavier side but it IS an A5. Most of my stocks are of the bench rest style (think heavy fence post) so the weight isn't a problem.
Here's the Man that makes them. Joel Russo. www.russoriflestocks.com Don't think I can post a picture of mine. An email will get you one if interested, Mike. |

nice stock, he tells you everything on his website but the price. not so sure you answered the original post question, unless your are saying you are a wood stock kind of guy.
I would like to try a McMillan edge stock but trey are a little pricy but may be cheap compared to a Russo. by the way my xp-100 has a Russo stock on it from several years ago, nice stock.

In pd town I shoot off a bench....
For that I have been buying the Shehane MBR Tracker made by McMillan.
For coyote rifles I like the Sako Hunter. Matt

Living in the south, I much prefer synthetic over wood due to the high humidity/moisture issues. I have really come to like the McMillan HTG stocks for most of my hunting. I believe they are actually lighter than HS Precision stocks. The only downside with the HTG without an adjustable cheekpiece is the low angle of the stock or comb height. However I use a stock pack on all of my hunting rifles and this easily compensates for the low stock.
As for shooting off a bench or prone with a bipod, its hard to beat the McMillan A5. Though heavy, it settles in instantly and nicely! |

MBR, Kestros, Marksman, and I had a McHale that I wish I'd never sold

Bought a 'mcmillan' off fleabay, think it's an M40. In quotes because it has the name of the person who made it in the barrel channel. Toured the factory and I think the guy taking me around said newbies make a couple of stocks before they will be making product. May be wrong. Nice stock for varminting.
Having said that I have two MPI stocks which I prefer because the circumference of the wrist is slimmer. Also the forearm. For a hunting rifle that is major consideration. Compare a Kimber with the MPI stock to a Weatherby with a B&C. Also like my Brown Precision stocks for the same reason. McMillans are great stocks, just like a hunting rifle to handle like a bird gun. And yeah, George, if I could hunt as much as I want, it would be with a wood stocked gun. A 99.
