Looks like you have more safe queens than kills under your belt.

An elk's dick weighs more than the deer you shoot.

I ahve bought two McMillans in the last year or so. The first a swirly/compact edge was perfect in every way. The second a edge/compact was less than perfect giving the inlettingaround the action was pretty jaled up and took alot of workl to get it to fit right.
A lot less work than a Banser, or Brown though.

Some of those colors...I guess so's you can find your gun after a nap in the woods? laugh

Your imagination is working overtime with those schemes. smile


Like that chopped Whelen....and the other work w/o the glare. Glad you're having a good run with your McGuns.


I am..........disturbed.

Mr. Steelhead:
Thanks for posting the pictures.
I must admit that I am inclined toward traditional black walnut for stock material. In particular, I liked the full length stock.
As I was viewing the pictures, my youngest daughter, for whom I�ve built the .250AI looked over my shoulder and expressed a strong fondness for the �McSwirly� pattern stocks.
I am writing you to say thanks for giving me another �in� with my kids. As a father trying to involve and interest my kids in what I love, I�ve found that hunting and firearms have faced a lot of competition from other areas.
In my opinion, if non-traditional stock patterns get even a couple kids interested in shooting sports that makes them OK with me. Just one dad�s thought on the matter.
Thanks again.
Dwayne

Jarheads don't b!tch about equipment. We just adapt and overcome. Make do, is the old-school terminology, and it applies mightily.

That said, 'tis hard to dislike the McMilly rigs so configured.
