With the old stock the recoil was pure hell on my shoulder,even with starting loads.
It's interesting how much difference a properly fitted stock can make in terms of recoil. Did you have a gunsmith fit the new stock to your proportions, or did you know exactly how to spec the new stock when you ordered it from Hi-Tech? Also, how would you compare the Basner stock to a McMillan? - I know they are similar in cost.
All I wanted was a 13 5/8" LOP and the rest is standard for that stock.
The gunsmith ordered it from Hi-Tech himself. Took about a month to 6 weeks to get the stock and bed,paint and add the recoil pad to it.
AFAIK,never owned a McMillian,so can't say anything about how they compare.
