Ordered thru Rick on March 18. Took delivery last Friday. By my math that is under 3 mos from order to having it in hand.
I hadn’t ordered one in a few years. First one I’ve gotten with a speckletone paint job and first Hunter’s Edge pattern.
All I can say is wow is this a nice stock. I was surprised at how quickly I got it given it was inlet for a weatherby vanguard which I can’t imagine is very common
Will do exactly what I hoped - which was to replace the youth stock on my son’s rifle with a nicer stock and save some weight (exactly 8oz) in the process.
When I installed the stock today I was definitely questioning why I dump thousands into custom rifles when my son’s would do literally everything we need a rifle to do
Will confirm zero this weekend and decide whether or not to bed it after hunting it some this fall

6 months is my experience. Was pleasantly surprised to be under 3
My gunsmith also got another stock of mine back from mcMillan today that he had sent for repaint. 4 weeks on that. Haven’t seen it yet but that should mean my build is nearing completion

I ordered one a month and a half ago.
Woke up the other morning and I had an email saying my McMillan order had shipped.
I about schit!
Right up until I realized it was the McM hats I had ordered the night before.

I don't always venture out into the sub-freezing darkness, but when I do, it is deer hunting season, and I carry a Remington. Stay hungry my friends.

I have about 10 mcmillans.
Never understood why they have such a long wait time.
I would think that adding equipment and people to speed up delivery would result in more business.

True, but some people get tired of waiting and buy something else. Depends on what it is, I guess. If the line never gets any shorter , the money flow is still there. Seen good money making gigs go belly up quick because they went to big. If I wanted a McMillan in the past, I waited for it....

Ordered an Edge Mountain Rifle Stock for a 700 and got it in about 5 weeks. They said I caught the tail end of the run they were working on.
Wished I’d ordered a couple more.

How many orders do you think McMillan has LOST because of wait times?

True, but some people get tired of waiting and buy something else. What other stock is available with shorter lead times and the same amount of customizable options, features, and price?
