I have used the Hunters Edge on several builds with Remington Factory Magnum contour and Rock #4 contour with 1" shank.
If you call McMillan to order a hunters edge, they will say yes to inletting for the Remington Man contour and no to inletting for a #4.
I had them inlet all of the stocks for the Rem mag contour and with the short shank, the #4s fit nicely.

Those pics are great Taylorce1. Has anyone ever tried to squeeze a #4 or a Bartlein #3? Thanks.

why not just go to the Mcmillan hunter you can fit a #4 or bartlein #3b pretty easy.

I have a Classic Edge with a #4 Krieger if you would like to see it. Number 4 is as big as I would want to go, though they say a #5 will work. One thing to think about the has not been mentioned is cylinder/shank width and length. On my Classic it seems really thin in this area. I have a 2 inch in length shank. On a Compact/Hunters Edge this has to be less than two inches. Not sure about a max width.

I had a Bartlein #3 in a Hunters Edge - GAP does it with their Non-Typical model quite often.

Here you go...I can't say anything but praise for my Classic Edge. Much better and lighter than an HS stock I have. I also have ordered a Compact Edge, but it hasn't came in yet. I would say 22" barrel or less go Compact; 24"+ Classic will be fine. ![[Linked Image]](http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq2/SWGAShooter/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsmq6vptdz.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq2/SWGAShooter/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps6k6qoset.jpeg)

These pics are all very helpful. There should be a thread dedicated to stock/barrel combination pics. Thanks again.

^^^ Sounds like a great idea. I see a lot threads posting for barrel combination pics. Done a few myself...

I have a McM Hunter with a 2b Bartlein contour. I think a 3b would be pushing it a bit. From Oregonmuley's pics, it looks like a Classic would handle a 3 or 3b just fine. I had a #3 Bartlein in an EH3 Manners and it looked to fit well.

Informative thread here y'all thanks! My Edge fill stocks have all weighed 22-24 ounces, the one standard fill FWT stock I had weighed 34 ounces but was a 14" LOP. I think McMillan list most of the standard fill stocks around 32 ounces.
