McMillan A5 ?

[ENCORE]

First let me indicate that I'm shooting a long range muzzleloader and not a centerfire.

Note: Ultimate Firearms Inc. BP Xpress, which has the Remington 700 action.

I currently have a McMillan Hunter Thumbhole stock on the rifle. The LOP is 13.5" and I really need a 14" or 14 1/4" LOP. The drop is to much, so I "Band-Aid" that up to my liking. Its also a very poor stock for attempting to shoot prone.

I'm contemplating changing stocks and for some reason the McMillan A5 keeps drawing at me. I like the vertical grip, the adjustable comb and the ability to adjust LOP. I'm also under the impression that the A-series stocks are a better stock for shooting prone??????

I'm the kind of guy that will spend $100 on raffle tickets without questioning. However spending $101 starts the "numb-skull" part of my brain working. So spending nearly $900 is a considerable cost.

Do you more seasoned shooters believe there might be enough benefit for the change?

Well, the McMillan A5 is an excellent stock. You would have to see if they can inlet one for your muzzle loader.

I went back and edited my original. My muzzleloader has the Remington 700 action ADL single shot.

You might want to take a look at the McMillan Anschutz Silhouette stock

After considerable conversation with McMillan and some careful thought about my future intentions, I ended up ordering the McMillan Game Warden stock. It will come in at 2.5#, much lighter than an A5 and meet my overall needs better I believe.

Great choice!!

I'm on my 3rd McMillan, my first A5. You'll love it when it arrives, worth the wait.

Just got my new Gamescout in yesterday. Ready to try it out.

Only thing I don't like about my a5 adjustable is the price tag. They are never trashed. I've got one standard a5 that I had my body shop brother fiberglass up and repaint after I screwed it up real good. They seem to be idiot resistant

I shot a McM A5 for a couple years and then went to the Manners T5A and find it so much more comfortable.
