[QUOTE="SouthTXBowhunter, post: 1286005, member: 13266"] I need to pick and configure a McMillan stock and I'm a little stuck. I'm building my first custom rifle for hunting deer sized game (and smaller) out to 7-800yds; and for punching paper and steel out a little further. I'm not trying to build a sheep rifle but I AM trying to build a fairly light one. It's a Deviant action with a Bartlein #3 22", Jewell HVR and American Precision RTG/SA bottom metal. I plan to do a fair amount of shooting with it using my tripod/Hog Saddle setup. I've never had, or shot, a tactical style stock before but I'm tempted to try something that's got a vertical grip. They look like they would be very comfortable to shoot. How hard is it to transition from a traditional style hunting stock to a vertical grip? Originally, I settled on an edge filled McMillan Game Scout. But, then, someone I really respect suggested I look at the A1-3 and the M40A-1 HTG. So, I'm kinda stuck again. Lol! I really need to pick something as it's about 4 months to get one custom made and I'd like to be shooting it this summer. My last concern is balance. I'd like for this to be a well balanced rifle. With the components I listed, which stock do you think would give me the best balance; and do you think the edge fill is the way to go? Any advice I can get will sure help me decide. [/QUOTE]
