Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger Boat Paddle restock

I have used McMillan, Classic and Hunter models on Mark II's and Hawkeyes, from 223 through 416 Ruger. The McMillan Classic is my personal favorite.

I do have have some H-S Precision for a couple of 375 and 416 Rugers. The fore end seems a bit fatter than the McMillan. But I rather like it on the above 338's.

I agree, to me the all-weather stock is a better feeling and looking stock than the boat paddle. It is probably plenty stiff and tough for the 338's and under that they put them on.
I will say, that I doubt that any composite is tougher than the Ruger boat paddle. I would have no issue with them, if length of pull could be reduced and a Decelerator pad added in the usual method.
