My favorite 9.3 is waiting for a new McMillan. It had a edge fill fwt. pattern that cracked behind the lug. A call to McMillan about a warranty replacement had them claiming they'd give me a new stock, but not warranty it for use with such a hard kicking cartridge. Long story short, one of their guys and I had a long phone conversation about ballistics, torque, and recoil calculators. He decided the problem wasn't 9.3 recoil, but rather their poor information provided about what's the proper torque for their stocks. I was advised by someone there to go 35lbs when I got the stock originally. Come to find out if should be 47lbs.

I can't wait to get this rifle back in action, as it's a constant companion. More of a working rifle than a hunting one actually.
