I can say from personal experience with McMillan, Winchester88s situation is far from unique. I bought a hunters edge a couple years ago and the fit was so poor if it hadn't been bedded (and remember McMillan will tell you bedding isn't necessary) the action would slide backward in the stock almost a quarter inch under recoil. I've bought two that had to be sent back to be redone due to someone at McMillan not being able to read or comprehend the order. Most recently was exactly what his situation was. Ordered a Featherweight with a Featherweight barrel contour and they shipped a Featherweight with a sporter contour. At least the paint was right.
Someone in their shop isn't doing their job when crap like that gets through QA. Or maybe they don't do QA. Either way, I won't be going back for more. I'll happily spend the extra money on the Brown Precision Pound'r and have a better fit and a lighter stock. McMillan won't get any more of my business.
