Different animal. I will break down my thoughts on the two. But wildcat is much more similar to Bansners stocks.

McMillan:
Good: tons of models available, drop in, nicely finished
Bad: expensive (about $1100 after exchange and shipping for us Canadians.) Not very light if you're into ultralights, long wait times.

Wildcat:
Good: Light (17oz blanks on most models = 19oz finished) stiff, very accommodating (different weights, different level of finish etc) much cheaper (blanks are mostly $300USD). Much faster to get - days or weeks not months.
Bad:limited number of models to choose from, mostly sold as unfinished blanks.

Wildcat casts their inletting, they don’t machine it like McMillan. This means a mold is needed for each stock and inlet. And they arent a huge company so models are limited. The majority of them are sold as blanks, although they now offer completely fit/finished stocks for Canadians.

Don’t get me wrong, mcmillans are awesome but at $1000+ and 6month waits, I think I am done with them.
