As Joe Biden would say, I've got two words for you "McMillan Sako Classic"..... But then again, maybe since I've never actually bought a "new" BC before (only pre-beat take offs) this might be the glory days.

Most likely should not have gotten shipped, but I don not understand why folks do stuff like this. Do you feel better now? I bet we can find issues with every product made. Just sayin......goodshot!

Why don't you ask McM to send you one right away at the same price as B&C? Not getting after you, just pointing out the obvious. There are a couple things that need attention with it, but as stated previously, give them a chance to fix it. I'll bet you would have told someone that if it were a McM. I think, therefore I am, conservative.

Why doesn't B&C charge more if that's what it takes to produce a quality product? It is after all B&C's top of the line offering. The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea.

It's an open thread and fellas can post pics of the "better" ones as well... I imagine a guy considering one would appreciate the information.

I have a couple of McMillans and I paid a lot more for them and waited a quite a while for delivery. You pays your money and takes your choices. You get what you pay for and sometimes you don't get that. Last edited by rj308; 09/24/12.

I just got this stock yesterday, weighs less (std fill) and it doesn't seem to have any issues, they even got the pad right...

Getting my [bleep]' stock right on the first try, that's a different story, but they do always make it right.
