Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Mcmillan Bridges stocks

Does anyone have any photos of these stocks? Also guys that have these how do you like them?

Don't have any pics handy, but maybe they have some on Hill Country Rifles website. Have one in a 338 Federal. I believe Hill Country developed that stock when J Earl was there for use with the Win Model 70 action. Its a classic American style stock with very nice lines.....

Thanks!
I looked on there website can't seem to find anything. Photo bucket has taken most of the photos when you do a search.

i had one and loved the profile of the stock on the front end but never could get use to that straight grip area

Lone Wolf send me a PM with your phone number I've got a few of them

I had one float through my inventory. It has excellent lines, but I ended up flipping it instead of building a gun with it because of the grip radius. The top of the grip was shaped more like the narrow end of a chicken egg, rather than the large/round end. It just seemed like that would drive into the webbing of the shooter's hand in an unpleasant way.

It could well be that someone who has actually shot one would tell me that my fears were unfounded.

Your fears were unfounded.

They are a pleasure to shoot. I have a 338 Winchester Magnum stocked in a McMillan Bridges with Edge fill and it's a pussy cat at 8lbs scoped..

I also have a 300 Weatherby Magnum in standard fill that is likewise easy to shoot.

Now that I think about it I have had Winchester 70s stocked with the Bridges in the following calibers;

.308 Edge fill
.30-06 Edge Fill
.300 Weatherby Standard Fill
.280 Edge
7mm Rem Mag Edge
338 Win Mag Edge
.350 Rem Mag Edge

I'm sure there's others I'm forgetting about over the years.

I also had a model 70 classic stainless in 340 Weatherby mag that I had made up in an Echols Legend stock. The legend is thicker through the grip and through the foreend, I personally prefer the Bridges

Thank you for your time.

Utah, +1 on the above. Mine is a 338 Federal and it is very easy to shoot....

Please, can someone post a picture of this stock and if they are available anywhere. Timely as I'm in the process of searching for a stock on a current 6.5-06 build.

Stevan, PM me a cell # and I'll send you a few pics

Inbound.

The stock is only available from Hill Country rifles in Texas.

Curious, will they sell the stock "a la carte" ? Or, only as part of a build ?

i was able to buy just a stock from them several years ago.....mine was made for a remington action

They will sell you just the stock. While it's been a few years since I bought one, I have sent them the barreled action and they bedded the stock, and they also have sent me a stock to have a local smith bed it.

Maybe if you have real small hands. The grip on that stock just looks uncomfortable to me...

Be interesting to get a tape around the grip, or hold one. Doesn’t look smaller than the grip on a Montana or Compact. Both of which are already quite trim to be sure.

I rather like the looks of that Bridger stock.

I’d have to agree with Doug here. While the grip may not be for everybody, the 308 and 7.25lb scopes 35 Whelen that I’ve had with the Bridges both handled recoil and flip quite well.
