I've posted details of this rifle before, but thought I'd share a picture of it with its new stock. It's a McMillan Hunter's EDGE pattern, 13" LOP, 1/2" Decelerator, ADL configuration. Rifle is a Remington Model Seven XCR in .243 wearing DeadNutz Extra Low mounts and a Vortex Viper 2-7x32. The stock weighed in at 22.4oz. As shown, it weighs 6lbs 12ozs.

I picked up this rifle to be my primary calling rifle. With the 20" barrel and the 13" LOP, it should fill that role quite nicely. Total length is 38.5".



Here it is with the factory tupperware...

First Edge? I'm digging the one I got a few months ago, need a few more.

I like the new better than the old.

Nice, I like the brown Edge a hell of a lot better the the Camo stock!

Second...

257 Wby


Look similar? I really like the EDGE stocks. Can't be beat in my opinion.

You're gonna have to get off that brown kick though...

UPS rifles...

UPS yours.....

haha

Nothing at all wrong with a brown Edge here is my 257Roy....

clark98ut,
I admire your rifles, but I am quite concerned about how clean your reloading bench is. There is just something not right with that... grin

Sweet rig, Dan!

Are you going to have Mark bed it?

DJ

haha...thanks! It ain't that neat though. Let's just call it careful framing of the picture...

DJ, I'll probably bed it myself if I bed it at all. I did shoot Mark an email a few minutes ago about a question I had regarding the rear action screw. I'm wondering if there is enough meat there to open it up to a standard 700 size screw, and if so, what his thoughts are on it.

Nice rifle Randy. I see great minds think alike!

Those edge stocks are really nice. I've got my second waiting on a barreled action at present. Mine are black and grey, but I could dig a brown or green one someday.

The brown looks really nice with the stainless. I'm going matte black metal with grey edge on my 6.5x55.

The idea of a Swede has been in the back of my mind. I'm thinking maybe a NULA though. That's big $ though, so we'll see.

Sexy!! Remington bring this back!

Kinda like this thread?

As someone who wears the brown uniform every day....


I approve !!

Well no New XCR. But Remington did give us the model 7 HS.

Are any of you guys with the new Edge from McMillan thinking about having them bedded? I just got one back for my X-Bolt and thinking about bedding just the recoil lug. The stock fits good, but there was just a little slop in the recoil lug area. I still haven't had a chance to shoot my rifle a lot since I got it back, but noticed right off the bat, my zero had changed from the factory stock by about 4" low. I re-zeroed it and then shot it about a week later. It didn't group as good as the first day of shooting and I did have a flier. I am just kicking it around and seeing if you guys are thinking about bedding the Edge.

I had mine bedded. It needed it.

I have all keepers bedded.

How much of the action do you bed? I was thinking just the recoil lug and I was going to do it myself. If you think it requires more bedding than that, I will have a pro do it.
