A3 Sporter? Anyone have one?

[KPK]

I've posted something like this before, but it was a long time ago. Thinking of building a .260 on one with RV barrel contour, 700 SA, etc. I really like the look, but wondering what you guys thought about it. I love the normal A3's!

No, but I sure want one. I had the pleasure of getting to mess with one in a 700 LA rig a couple of weeks back and it just made me want one all the more.

They look like they would be the best of both worlds for hunting, tacticool, etc. They have the high comb, wide forend, but not bulky. Just about perfect.

I've got one that I can get very soon, just wondering what you guys thought!

Between it and the Bell and Carlson M-40 it's a real toss up for me. They are both fantastic stocks for someone like me who just feels more at home with a tactical stock yet needs a good hunting stock as well.

If you like a Sendero stock, you'll love either of those even more.

I can help.......let me show you a real A3 Sporter like you asked

I saw a picture of one about a year ago, and ended up talking two of my buddy's into them for their builds. I ended up loving 'em so, I ordered one and it's currently at the gunsmith waiting to get dressed up with all the other parts for a 20BR coyote calling rig.

Only pic I ended up having, but you get the idea....

I have one and like it. Its in the edge package and weights in at 30oz. I just sent it back to mcmillan to repaint it and open up the barrel channel. I think this is the best bet for a set up for hunting which can be shot better from multiple positiins and not just prone.

I saw a post about these on sniperhide.com awhile back. I've been interested to see more of them. I think it going to be a perfect hunting stock. Why doesn'et McMillian show it on there website?

When I called they said they're too busy making stocks... .gun)

I'm sure there's someone sitting in the office that could take a picture and upload it to the web.

They could send me one, I'll take a picture of it and write up a discription.

I've got two that made it to the house last week. Can't tell you what they're like, as I won't get to see them til December.
