The good:
Montana Rifle Company Left Hand Stainless Steel 375 H&H
Montana #5 contour SS barrel, 22 inch,floorboard crown
Mcmillan Winchester Classic Stock,painted green,14"LOP,blued studs. Bedded. Stock is equipped with a Danuser Counter-coil hydraulic recoil reducer. Here's a link to their site:
http://www.danuser.com/products/coil/counter_coil.htm
I had this installed by the factory guy, just to try it out. It works quite well! Eye relief isn't much of an issue, at least with this scope. If you don't like it, you could pull it off and have a 1 inch pad installed with about a 5/8" spacer to make 13.5" LOP. I had originally intended to buy another stock and use this for practice, but it never happened.

Weight = 9.75 lbs as pictured with Talley LW and 1.5-5 Leupold.

Fired around 200 rounds, shot 1-1.5 MOA. I didn't do much load work up, I'm sure it could do better with a bit of work.

The bad: recoil pad missing a chunk from the top. Paint is dinged up pretty good from being hunted. Inletting for the barrel isn't the prettiest. Action could use some polishing, as it's a bit rough to cycle. Feeds fine!

$1000 shipped from non/FFL with Talley LW lows,Lyman 375 H&H dies, 50 rounds of brass, and whatever bullets I can scrounge up (a few 235 Speer and TSXs).
$1200 with pictured Leupold Vari-X III 1.5-5 gloss duplex scope, Butler Creek covers, and everything above. Scope has some ring marks. Blue Tape over Leupold emblem free of charge smirk.
Payment: USPS M/O payment
If you buy it and aren't pleased, send it back and you'll get your money back.

Trades:
Ruger Bisley 45 colt or 44 Special + cash

Can the Mcmillon stock be converted back to std recoil pad?

CDNN had LH Win 70 wood stocks around $100 some were the deluxe model for the 375 H&H would make a classy wood SS look.
Good price on a nice rifle. SS LH 375 H&H control feed. Would cost lots more to build the same.

As far as I can tell, all that would be required for a pad is to unscrew the recoil reducer, and attach a standard pad. It would need about a 5/8 spacer with a 1 inch pad to bring it up to 13 1/2" LOP. Thanks for the bump!

Is there a way to keep the recoil stock the way it is but just get a new pad? Or is it fixed permanently? Thanks for your time.

Jake,

All that would be required is to cut the pad off, sand off the remainder, and glue on a new pad. Similar to replacing a recoil pad on any other stock.

As it is, it looks kinda ugly, but doesn't seem to affect performance. Hope this is what you were asking?
