Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Help with new McMillan - A5, A4, A3, or A3-5

Thanks guy! Great info and pic's!

I am/was leaning towards an A5 with an integral cheekpiece, but all the A3 comments has me really thinking hard on it.

As for the integral cheekpieces, what is the make of the one McM installs? How is the quality compared to the Loggerhead mentioned above?

Here's an A5 on Winchester 70 in 50% black, 25% light gray and 25% olive green. I like the low profile of the A5 fore-end and prefer the standard comb.

I checked out the KMW Loggerhead cheekpiece - really like that!

Called and spoke with Terry about it and how to order the stock, get the cheekpiece installed, etc. - GREAT guy!!! Very helpful, cost was very fair, good/thorough instruction for getting the stock set-up for it, etc.!

Now to decide on mix, then place my order and get the ball rolling!!!

Buzzsaw what is the mix on the tan stock?

Ram--good post. I've been wondering the exact same thing myself. Seems like the general consensus is...the A3.

I'd rather go A5 myself...

yeah, gonna go A5 myself but all the great posts/info made it hard to choose!

Don't think you'll be sorry.

I just received my A3, and I think I'm going to try an A5 on my next Tac stock.

I have the A2 and various A5's. I personally prefer the ergos of the A5. I havent had any problems shooting off bags, bipods, or mpaj.

What do you like better about the A5 vs the A3?
Thanks.

Don't know, never even held one. I wanna give one a try. Who knows, it may be the perfect stock for me, or it may be just another step on the quest for perfection. The A5 has had some pretty stellar reviews here.

I too prefer the A5 for a Heavy long range rig, the ergo's of the stock fits me perfect and the barrel/action sits lower in the stock. These are the last three A5's and the 7 Mag and 6x47L just got completed in the last week or so.
