tackb Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 my 260 stalking rifle is currently in a mcmillan general hunter (pillar bedded) and i find i cant get a good cheek weld (well one i'm happy with) so i'm thinking of getting a Mcmillan A2 if i can find one, but my question to you all is can you suggest or recommend any alternatives ? i like the look of the pse tactical stock,does anyone have any comments on them? i like the grip on mcmillan A series stocks and i want it to be modern materials as my rifles get used in all weathers and conditions , not fussed about it being adjustable if it fits as i dont change optics etc very often weight is a consideration as i used to use my 308 (chuffin heavy) but it was too heavy for a week on the hill running around after hinds which is why i had the 260 built. i've been using a cheek pad which is ok but i want a permanent solution now. thanks in advance for your help R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatzi Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 The PSE sporter stocks are super light, circa 700grams and have a high monte carlo cheekpiece. Cheek weld is no problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatzi Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have one of each. The etac is also light at 1080grams but i thought you wanted a sporting stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The etac is also light at 1080grams but i thought you wanted a sporting stock? i have a sporting stock but as i'm changing i do actually prefer the steep grip offered by the tactical type stocks just not the weight for this aplication ?

Hatzi Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 In that case the etac would be ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcampbellsmith Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 See the Darrell Holland stock below. http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/gallery/member-galleries/p2948-remington-700-sa-in-260-rem.html Took me 7 or 8 years to find this stock.

jcampbellsmith Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 thanks , another option but to be honest i'm not a massive fan of thumb hole stocks (although that one looks good for my massive hands!) I've got fairly big hands. I've 2 thumbhole stocks and I've just ordered another one of these. In an ideal world I wouldn't shoot with anything else. Mcmillan do some really lightweight Edge stuff http://www.mcmillanusa.com/mcmillan-stocks-ultralight.php and if you dig into the Jackson Rifles website, you eventually can find a spreadsheet of what they have in stock. Russell Gall showed me an Edge stock and it's amazingly light. Good luck. JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 A PSE sporter built in the full carbon version is actually slightly lighter than an Edge and is also stiffer, far better cheek support and a better forend for bipod mounting. We compared them side by side. Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 We are getting a larger shipment to US ready at the moment and have a few stocks ready on the shelf if someone needs a stock quick. Stocks to the US are not all bespoke, so it wouldn't matter sending less. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tackb Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Done it chaps ! Gone with the e-tac and a march scope to boot (ouchy in the wallet region!) I love he fact that it looks like it should be a 18lb tactical rig and then you pick it up and hey presto it's a sporter weight hunting rifle!
