Ronin Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Not really an example of precision machining (unless you count the pillars) Otherwise standard Rem 700 SPS in 22-250 Rem, with Timney trigger and one piece rail to keep the action stiff. Customer supplied a very pleasingly marbled A5 stock which they wanted bedding. I think it looks good. Scope could be better, but I'm assured the rifle is very accurate and accounts for a fair number of foxes. Once the barrel is shot I'm told it will be a 6mm BR or 243 Ackley, hence the spends on the stock - looking forwards to making that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbal Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 How heavy are they Mcmillan rifle stocks site says "2.5-4.5" lb- I'd imagine the lighter ones have no cheekpiece etc and perhaps special filling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 The price is about what Gbal has said and the weight depends a great deal on the type of "fill" Mcmillan use or you specify at the time of order. The Sniper fill is the densest making a pretty solid stock. PSE Composites, South Staffordshire Stocks and Manners make very good alternatives to the A5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejg223 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Huge transformation alone by changing the stock, if one imagines a sps plastic stocked remmy next to this. I am always astonished how happy even a seasoned rifle shooters are when they collect their customised stick. Another one for the album Ronin. edi by the way... I am moving out into the sticks soon, saw this in the little village close by.... pretty sure I'm out far enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
