NEW McMmillan game warden MAX

[Alex Wheeler]

Did McMillan add "extra" in the stock to make it usable for Ultra Mags? They recommended to me only Edge fill can be used on magnums not ultra mags.

Yes, I spec out the fill according to what Im building.

My current build components come in under 7 lbs also. With scope, under 8 barely

This is how mine is shaping up as a bare rifle. That's a Game Hunter Edge, and an unchambered and uncrowned 6.5mm 22" Sendero Lite so several oz will come off of that weight.

I think mine was 6lbs 13ounces with no scope, which I was very happy with as it was replacing a 10.5lb 7mm LRM. I did have the Edge fill in my stock as well. I could have gone with lighter rings and scope but I was already saving about 3lbs. So I went for the higher power. I added a pict of the rifle I am discussing. This was a rare Javelina hunt with snow in Southern AZ.

That's gonna be a great build. I really like shooting the Game Hunter I have. What cartridge are you going with? I used a 26in Sendero for a 6.5 PRC, so I have a slightly heavier result, but it turned out great and is accurate beyond what I'd hoped for.

Sure wanted to go to the scope with a bit more top end magnification but I know Leupold's are great glass and at 15X I'll be fine out to 1000 easily. Went with the 19oz VX5 HD 3-15x44. Haven't used it but it sure looks clear.

Nice set up. Post finished pics. Love seeing other guys builds.

Plan is a 6.5x47 Lapua for deer hunting and maybe some antelope in the future.

Will do, hope to get the parts to my builder once all of this COVID-19 stuff clears out.

I have a couple of those, they are really nice scopes. Both of mine went 19.8 oz. That is the likely candidate for my build that I posted, wrapped in some Hawkins LR Hybrids.

They will have you get "Enhanced Edge" Fill on a Ultra Mag.
