McMillan stocks

[longwinters]

I am wondering if any of you have had experience with the McMillan stocks.  Especially the A-5 or perhaps the Sako varmint. I am also wondering about some nice looking swirly patterns for it.  This would be for a Sako 308.

I have a friend who is a gun maker made me a 300 win mag with a McMillian stock three years ago ...Win super grade  series. I have to say very nice quality and I really like it.

I have three of them. One is on a Rem 700 Varmint that is about 12 years old. The cheesy HS Precision POS that came with the gun broke the first time I used it. Same thing happened to other people I know as well.  Remington and I reached an agreement: I threw them a few $$ they put a McMillan on the gun for me. Its been pillar bedded. Shoots great (if you call 5 shot groups of varmint loads measuring .32 great).  2nd gun is a Mauser with a McMillan...used and abused for 12 years, looks perfect. Last gun is a competition M1A. Awesome stock, used and abused, painted by Wayne at Oregunsmithing a sagebrush color. None of these stocks have had any issues other than the hunting rifle which has their "wood" grain pattern on it......it has come off in spots. Mike McMillan told me they quit making these stocks in wood grain, and would replace the entire stock anytime I wanted. I told him no thanks, I'll live with it.

Spendy stocks, good company, good service.

I've got about 10/12 H&S stocks,8 McMilliam stock , 2 Borden, 6 Lee Six and one Brown stocks and I've never had a problem with H&S or McMillian.  Swirly patterns are nice if you get the right combination.  I build a 300mag just started with the action put that rifle in H&S stock had it bedded then build another use a swirly patten McMillian had that stock bedded and both shoot great.  I had H&S make a stock for my 30-378Wby then had McMillian make one for my Sako varmit 6br same as above no problems with either stock.  I just had a 6x250 build on a Rem action use H&S non bedded stock and that rifle shoot very small groups.  I don't know what time frame Rem quit using H&S stocks but they had problems and are back with H&S now.  I've got a Borden camo stock and that is a real nice stock alittle more money but the camo is blend in the stock as most are painted.  If you pull up McMillian site they have some specials and they run alittle less $385  may find one to fit your Sako and one of the nice thigs about McMillian you can send them your barrel action and they will fit and bed the stock and on www.24hrcampfire.com the guy who runs McMillian post there on one of the forums and I think it's around 2/3 mos maybe longer wait for them to make one.  Well good luck

I have one that is based on the factory specs for a model 7 stock.  I had it marbled swirled with the pattern 50% olive green, 30% gray, and 20% black.  That makes a very good camo pattern and hides the cosmetic imperfections in the fiberglass really well.
