I've got it bad for a Mcwhorter. There are several for sale on his website that keeps me awake at night. I'm moving to Colorado as soon as I sell my home and I need an elk rifle. I'd like a custom, or semi custom rifle. Mcwhorter is on the short list. I can purchase one of his listed customs without a delay and his rifles offer everything I need. However, Popapi has a valid point.
I had a Savage MZ with a laminated stock with the same issue. After a year or so the bolt handle would occasionaly hit out side the channel marring the stock. For a custom that runs 10 times what I paid for the Savage, there shouldn't be any issues at all.
