OP blacktailbuster Campfire Regular B Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 672	thanks for the responses guys. I'm about to deal the lightest rifle around for a heavy one. The latter of which I don't have much experience with. On the move from hunting blacktails in alpine to stand hunting down south. Probably not a bigger extreme around. Absolutely love my Nula but for what I want it would be better served in someone else's hand. Keep it coming if someone else has an opinion as I have only had one McMillan in my hand. thanks again.

Is the forend on your rifle square, and able to take more than a Rem Varmint or quite narrow and rounded?

Edited after reading entire thread. I would still go with the Remington Hunter over a McMillan Hunter with anything bigger than a #4. John Last edited by Hondo64d; 09/27/13.
