Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Mcmillan vs HS precision

Traded for this HS SPL .240, would never buy it new for reasons covered already. It was heavy, even though SPL stands for Sporter Light. The HS stock is clunky, heavy, thick and ugly. I got a Hunters Edge, in fact had to send the barreled action to McM. They had a CNC program for the HS 2000 action, not the SPL barrel. Well, now they do...

The HS stock weighs 42 oz, the Edge, 26 oz. I got the McM unpainted, did the bedding, glassed in the bolt handle notch, cut it out for perfect fit. Then, sent it back to McM for paint. I had to tape the bedding to save $28, the paint was no extra charge, including return postage.

My version of this gun is WAY better than the HS version. To their credit, they do make fine barrels, not too unlike Brux and Kreiger, cut rifling. This gun is half MOA as previously posted.

It now wears a VX-6 2-12x42 instead of the 6500 Bushnell shown.
