Ended up with a Hawkeye Predator 308 barreled action. Not many stock options. No more McMillans unless they would inlet for one. Have a line on a factory laminated stock from a varmint version. Anyone know if same barrel profile or is the varmint slightly heavier? Don’t mind a little extra gap.
The varmint has a heavier barrel. Last week I saw a real nice green laminate short action stock on ebay that would have worked perfectly. The laminated stock you are asking about is probably a heavier stock with the wider forend etc. It would add unnecessary weight to the rifle. You could also go with a factory plastic stock. They are pretty light weight and work well enough for hunting. I just put one of my short actions in a factory plastic stock and it is working very well:
Also, according to Ruger, the predator model has a "medium contour" barrel. Keep an eye on ebay, if you are looking for a stock. Good luck with it..
