NEW McMmillan game warden MAX

[Alex Wheeler]

The game warden is one of my favorite stocks but I wanted a higher comb. I asked Kelly McMillan if he would make a version with a maximum height comb. And he did. I get to play with them all and this is my favorite so far. Pictured is the game warden Max in olive, The game hunter in olive and black speck, and the A3 in forest marble.

I'm in love, count me in for 3 tikka inlets!

Me too, its amazing how small changes can make all the difference.

Do we get these from you or McMillan?

Die hard McMillan fan (M40A1), but the comb height has always been a problem for me without and adjustable cheek. Hopefully this will create a need and drive production of some more like this.

Good call Alex...

Why don't they just put a recessed cut out and raise the cheek a little more? Several stock manufacturers do that and it works absolutely fantastic.

That's why this "die hard Mc" fan has moved onto Manners...

I like it! But how is it different from the Game Scout?

Game wardens have a wider forend to accept the larger profile barrels. Plus it has an ever so slightly higher comb.

Hopefully they will make them in a left handed model...

@Alex Wheeler any word if McMillan will allow consumers to order this cut?

I will be up for another soon.

That is what the Game Warden should have looked like from the beginning imo.

I really like that Max version. Is that 1lb 15oz ?

 

[Alex Wheeler]

Funny timing, @bigngreen was just over today checking out this stock.
Yes, the way I ordered this one came in at about 31oz. Anyone can order these from McMillan. If your trying to get them light, go with a painted finish. The gelcoats adds 4-5oz.
Guys get WAY too caught up with comb height in my opinion. I know its a personal preference, but mine is to have the comb high enough to give me a touch to help quickly position my head, but not so high or wide I start to put actual pressure on the stock that will degrade accuracy. Unless you have a condition which prohibits you from holding your head up for long, you will shoot better with less of you on the gun. I have used just about every stock on the market, this ones my personal favorite so far for this use.
At any point in time, I have almost every hunting stock on the market in the shop from McMillan and a couple from Manners. And I have owned rifles built on most of them at one point or another. I have gotten really picky about how I want a stock to be designed for its intended application. I just finished one on the Manners UC stock, and its the best in its class. Rifle came in a 4lb 14oz., really like that stock for an ultralight.
