[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 670230, member: 30902"] Is the Mc worth the extra??? To some it is, to others not. The biggest advantage is what it adds to resale value. There's a very nice B&C fully adjustable A-5 LA in the LRH classified section for sale now. With the higher end H-S Stocks there's very little difference in price between them and the Mc's. I have one special build I'd like to go all out and put in a Mc. I'm perfectly comfortable with my H-S's though and don't see any advantage in replacing any of them with Mc's. The .260 isn't going to be quite as fast as the 6.5x284, but 200fps isn't going to make much difference at least out to 800yds. If you are serious about shooting beyond that on larger harder to kill game then I'd go up to either it or the .264WM which is a great round. For the extra velocity you get from those though comes reduced barrel life/increased throat erosion. I personally went with the .260 and don't regret it a bit. [/QUOTE]
