When did you order it? I'm at five months and figure at least 3 more. I know what they are doing. The longer they take the more I order. If I had to pay up front for all of it I wouldn't order any but taking 8 months gives me enough time to pay the first one off and find another one and start paying on it.

Because 16 is twice as good as an 8 twist?

I hear they'll stabilize almost any bullet�..


Or I might just stick with the 1 in 12�I only need one that 50% better than a 1 in 8... grin

The only problem is after receiving your Mcmillan, you may be really disappointed in your B&C stocks and need to order a bunch more Mcmillans!

One thing to keep in mind is that every Swirly is different. Even if you send in a pic and say "Duplicate this", it may not turn out like you pictured. But that's ok, Swirlies are like snow flakes, each unique and cool in it's own way.

Yeah�I know you are right on both counts�but I am willing to risk buying more than one stock�.

I also know about the chances of duplicating a swirly�so I asked if they thought they could approximate the one in the photo�

We shall see�.

From what I've seen, plan on 8 months.

Ha! laugh

Seriously though, I still like the TI stocks. One of the best deals out there in hunting stocks, especially for those who got in on the Numrich buy a couple years back.

That rifle was repossessed by the original owner after I put it in that uber stock. I have a weird feeling he's barrel shopping to turn it into something fancy.

I like McMillans. My favorite pattern is the McMillan (Sako) Hunter. I prefer the swirly's with standard fill. I don't know why, but the painted stocks with Edge fill don't get me too excited. They're light and nice, but I just like the molded in colors better.

Mistem on here has a nice looking flame on a Tikka. I stole his pic a while back!
