I think Kevin did a great job, but no doubt Mark Penrod does excellent work as well.


Weaver does a good stocking job with the regular unmodded M70 tang.

but what I've noticed with a number of gunmakers (including Weaver, McWhorter, etc) when using McMllans,
is that despite the receiver and barrel channel fit being very good, there is(often enough) an unsightly gap
around the bolt handle. This is usually the case with stocks that have the BH cut-out performed by McMllan.
Some smiths would never let a rifle leave the shop with such a gap, but I don't know which maker rinB will
ultimately decide on.

People have raved about McWhorter over the yrs , personally I wouldn't accept a custom straight BH Borden
stocked with cut-out to suit a factory dog-leg 700 BH.

This is what a Borden in a McMllan looks like when done to what I consider true custom standard:

Echols McMllan stocks do not have the cut-out, allowing a smith to create a very close uniform fit around the
BH of choice. I am presuming RinB wants the best fit in every respect when stocking a McMllan, so its some-
thing one needs to keep in mind and mention to ones choice of gunmaker when commissioning the job.
