Are McMillan stocks worth the $$$

[chad44]

I'm doing my first build. I'm using a ruger m77 mark 2 (I know most hate this action). Broughton 7mm #5 barrel. I'm having trouble with a stock decision. Are mcmillians really worth the cash? I'm looking at the A3 hunter. It's about 100$ less then the A2 tactical. Thanks

yes they are, that said lots of used options and manners is just as good as mcmillan!

I also looked at manners but it seemed they were right with McMillan in the price. Maybe 30-50$ less.

I have both and actually prefer HS precision to both for prone shooting.

You make a very good point that I would not have thought about. I have McMillan, Manners & HS. I've never felt lacking with the HS, just a solid stock.


To the original question, yes, McMillan is well worth the $$$.

McMillans are definitely worth the $$$

one word......YES

"worth it" is a relative term. to some Mcmillan stocks are worth the price.
I have had them/used them, liked 'em, but don't feel the extra cost gave me anything over and above other fine synthetic stocks available.
It depends on YOUR wants/needs.

I just recently had my first two custom rifles built. Concerned with cost I put a McMillan A3 Hunter on one and used the factory HS on the other. I personally like the fit and feel of the McMillan better plus I like the marble swirl finish, with the right combination of colors you can get a camo effect. I would highly recommend the A3 Hunter for an all around hunting rifle.

I ordered the A3 hunter this morning. I'm excited. Now just the 6 month wait.
