Campfire McMillan Pattern...? #8424816 01/03/14 Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 6,314 Western Kentucky S shortactionsmoker OP Campfire Tracker OP shortactionsmoker Campfire Tracker S Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 6,314 Western Kentucky Rick suggested a thread should be started to possibly design The 24hourcampfire McMillan Stock Pattern. As a fan of McMillan stocks, I'm all about this! I have some wants, but they may not be shared by others. I'd like a straight comb on the Hunters Edge (Rem 700). I'd also like an inlet for the Kimber Montana. I prefer trim stocks with a less open grip. Small palm swells work...as does checkering. If this comes full circle, I'd like to see something with many inlet options, not just something specified for one rifle. Let's hear some input on your idea of the perfect design. Everybody has their own wants... I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

The 3 major criteria: 1: A slender stock design. 2. A high combed stock with negative drop in the comb. 3. Rounded under the action area, for ease of one handed carry.

Checkering or no checkering is fine by me. A pure copy of the KS for the SA 700 and other actions would be nice, too, can't warm up to the looks of the Model 7 KS. Definitely think an inlet for the Kimber Montana would be required no matter what is decided! Edge trim should be standard.

It's the same thing I'd pick, a better Hunter's Edge pattern. Make the forend 1/2"-3/4" longer for no other reason that now it looks kind of goofy with a 24" barrel, RAISE THE FRIGGIN COMB!!! so those of us who actually put scopes on our rifles can shoot the danged thing, and give it no or a negative drop at heel. No monte carlos or goofy humps, just a nice high, straight comb that carries all the way to the buttpad. Nobody shoots iron sights anymore, and if they do they can take a grinder to the thing or pick one of the 100 other Mcmillan patterns that are perfect for iron sight shooting midgets.

If Micky would just make an exact copy of the Brown Precision Pounder stock pattern, they'd have everything that we're looking for. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery anyway. Brown has had the ergos perfect for a few decades now. Micky is just too stubborn to admit it IMO.

Some stocks seem to think three fingers is enough if you can put the pinky under that pistol grip. It's NOT. Also pay attention to cast and a wider butt pad for recoil absorption.

It's the same thing I'd pick, a better Hunter's Edge pattern. Make the forend 1/2"-3/4" longer for no other reason that now it looks kind of goofy with a 24" barrel, RAISE THE FRIGGIN COMB!!! so those of us who actually put scopes on our rifles can shoot the danged thing, and give it no or a negative drop at heel. No monte carlos or goofy humps, just a nice high, straight comb that carries all the way to the buttpad. Nobody shoots iron sights anymore, and if they do they can take a grinder to the thing or pick one of the 100 other Mcmillan patterns that are perfect for iron sight shooting midgets. With 1/4" cast off on top and 3/8" on the bottom, and a wide ass for recoil management, I'd be all over that. Actually the Kimber Montana stock is awesome the way it comes, just too short for me.

The 3 major criteria: 1: A slender stock design. 2. A high combed stock with negative drop in the comb. 3. Rounded under the action area, for ease of one handed carry. This is a pretty common theme...and would make a heck of a stock. It wouldn't take many changes to the Hunters Edge for perfection. I still don't mind a slight palm swell. Something similar to the Sako Hunter, maybe even a little less. It just makes the pad of the finger and trigger come together perfectly in my hands. I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

A small notch for bolt travel like on the A1-3 would be fine by me. Regarding smaller patterns, the Compact would be dandy with a bit higher comb. Now with even more aplomb

Fix the low comb on the Hunters Edge. If somebody wants another stock after that, go for it. Wondering if we could do a top 3 designs, then vote on it sort of thing. Also what the timeframe this would take to design and get out on the market.

It will have the same shadow line cheek piece, cast off at the toe and heel, high scope comb, checkered, etc. as the Model 70 Legend stock but is made specifically for the grip geometry of the 700. Hopefully the mold should be done 4 months The stock should also be useable on the Borden Defiance, Aztec Arms and any of the other similar Remington clones with Remington style tangs.
