Anyone have a realistic wait time on McMillan orders? I ordered one "in stock" from their retail store inventory in November and still don't have it. Wishing I would have just ordered what I really wanted at this point....unless they are like a year out, lol.
I need another one for a build, just weighing my options.
Thanks

Oh boy. I just did the same a couple of weeks ago. I hope it doesn’t take them three months to put it in a box and ship it.

I guess I was lucky then, I ordered a Hunters Edge for my new Tikka Superlite Creedmoor - it was one of their in stock ready to ship stocks. I ordered it on 12/17 and it was delivered on 12/23 so no complaints!

Custom orders are 20-24 weeks right now. Rems may come out faster.

My brother and I ordered a stock each on the 28th April last year and there is still no sign of them landing yet. Both were standard stocks for a Rem 700.

Just to be clear, these stocks weren't ordered from the 'in stock' inventory and they have got to find they way over to England as well. It still seems a remarkable time to wait though and is certainly frustrating. My brother is a bit luckier than I am as he has his rifle sat in a spare stock. My barrelled action is sat in the cabinet unused for approaching 12 months. I'm itching to go! Kind regards, Tim

Ordered 1 in Feb for a M98, took about 8 months. Ordered another end of Dec, we'll see how long it takes. At least you know going in there will be a wait. I keep a spare "beater"(Butler Creek) stock in case I would NEED to use a barreled action before the stock was finished(so far have not needed to use it).
Funny how it doesn't seem like as big a deal once you have it in your hands.

Thanks for the input. Even though it said "5 available", it said just needed final inlet for barrel, so you input what barrel you have when you order it and they are supposed to CNC the channel and ship it out.
The bummer is I already had a McMillan for this barreled action but had it rebarreled. Before I chose barrel I called McMillan and asked if they could reinlet my channel for new barrel and asked max size. They told me no problem, and I could go up to Krieger #4. I ordered a #3 to be safe, sent it all in last fall and was told it would work because my cylinder was too long. They told me to buy a different stock that they had in inventory and they would get it right out.
This isn't a complaint about McMillan, I just wish it wasn't such a mystery on REAL lead times.

I received one in late Dec. that took 5 months, 1 week to receive. It was a R700 SA inlet.

To really stir the pot, I ordered a Ruger MKII McMillian from Rick on the fire on February 4, 2018 and received it today, March 6, 2018. This is by far my quickest; 31 days for a custom ordered swirly!! Unless they had the exact stock I ordered in inventory, that’s pretty dang quick. YMMV

I have waited for McMillan’s many times. Wanted another and they happened to have close to what I wanted in inventory. I called this morn and confirmed that it was in inventory. I ordered it. Four hours later, I received a tracking number that it was on the way.
I was shocked.
