That Rem Varmint pattern is one of the best that McMillan does. Great ergos.
Yes it is and does.....
While a 26" barrel works fine in this stock, with it's shorter forend, it's really better suited for 24" and under barrels.
I bought this for night time coyote hunting, and needed/wanted the detachable bottom metal for ease of unloading/loading when moving from stand to stand, as Wisconsin does not allow any rounds in the chamber or magazine when in a motor vehicle.
Unfortunately, I decided I need a stock with an adjustable cheek piece too, so I bought a different stock that fits my requirements better.
