[QUOTE="WindTrax, post: 228586, member: 2606"] You can buy [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/store/mcmillan-stocks-ready-to-ship.html"]MCMillan stocks, ready to ship[/URL] at the LRH Store. I'm looking at having a med-light weight hunting rifle built with a Remington short action for a little 6.5mm wildcat round built off a modified (shortened) WSM case. There are 2 stocks I'm looking at: the Bell and Carlson Carbelite (around $155) and the McMilllan Edge (around $475.) What I can't figure out is why the dramatic price difference. I've previously had a Carbelite and seen no really noticeable wrap, flex, or temp expansion/contraction. Also, from what I've read, these stocks are made via (as best I can find out) exactly the same process: hand layup of the fabric followed by injection of the composite mix. Neither of the models I'm looking at appear to have pillar bedding or an action or full-length aluminum bedding block, so no difference there either... I'm more than happy to pay the extra money if the McMillan offers a notable advantage - such as noticeably better accuracy.
