Has anyone noticed how much they've gone up in price? At least on Stockys, the standard fills are now higher than Edge Techs used to be!!!! No thanks!!!

I’m done with McMillan stocks. They’re excellent and I have about a dozen that I’ve acquired over the years.
As good as they are, they’re not worth their cost anymore. Never mind the six month wait.
Just had Jim Kobe build me another PD rifle
In the past I’ve used McMillan fir my varminters. This time, I went with a laminate. Saved $400+ and had it in a week.

For a varminter or anything you don't care about weight on laminate is the smart $ choice...and I like it. If weight matters laminate sucks.

Putting pieces together for a build. Hard to consider McMillan from the factory....I looked, and especially considering the weight penalty the edge has gained, I looked away. Have a lot of them I love but there are other options now that weren't there before.

Agreed, they've priced themselves out of the common folk...

That is smokin’ fast. Maybe covid and a price hike are shortening the wait list.

Was that a featherweight pattern inlet for pre-64? What fill?

Congrats! 🍀


Edge fill...

Let me know how the fit is on that one, particularly the trigger guard.

Thanks


They called and warned that the rear of the trigger guard would be proud.....nothing 5min and some sandpaper can't fix...

I would think that adding equipment and people to speed up delivery would result in more business.



If people will line up and wait to give you money, you are doing something right.


Maybe.
I just got out of the line. Bought a laminated stock. Saved $400 plus and I’m shooting the rifle in ten days after the order.
Is it as good as a McMillan, maybe, or maybe not, but value wise it may be as good or better.

My last one would have required modifying the trigger guard because of the heel on it, even after I letting the stock deeper. When I discussed with them they said the only drop in stock for a P-64 was the P-64 Monte Carlo, which ain’t a bad stock either.

Like others have mentioned, I won’t pay their current prices...could be why their wait times have shrunk. If I needed a good M70 synthetic I’d prolly seek a Winlite (P-64 withstanding) or go Banser.

They’re great stocks. I have a dozen or so.
But most recently (last month) I bought a laminated stock for less than half the cost and about 10 days delivery time.
Already have shot that rifle couple times.
While great stocks, six plus months delivery and $600 plus doesn’t work for me anymore.

If it's true that an inletted McSwirly with pad and swivels is now $700, that's roughly a 47% increase from the last ones I ordered. I think that was around 2012 or so and I want to say $475 was the number. That would be an average cost increase of nearly 6% a year. Ouch.

True story. I just ordered one today for a customer. Fully inletted HBR with pillars. $710 and a 6-8month delivery time.....ouch, but what the customer wants.

At least two in my case. I bought a lesser stock, because I couldn’t (wouldn’t) wait six months. And I have about 10 mcmillans.

Actually four stocks now. I’m 69 yo, not waiting six months for a rifle stock.

they are expensive, but what is out there that's comparable to them for less money?
