Some significant sanding marks & a couple small chips in gel-coat right outta the box from McMillan.

No structure issues, purely cosmetic, but after 5 months of waiting and roughly $500 it just pizzes me off!!

If I could find a Manners stock that fit me well, I would never use another McMillan!!

My bet is that they would put you on the fast track to make it look better. Filling voids with like-colored epoxy and making sure the sanding marks aren't actually gouges should be part of their quality control.

You'd find something wrong if someone backed up to your house with a dump-truck-load full of money and dumped it on the driveway.

Strap it on and go shoot szchit, Nancy.

A NH Safari Express in 416 Rem with Wisner front and rear sights, McM magnum fill "Express New" stock, Michael Sherz scope bases with Talley rings, PTG aluminum bottom metal and the bolt handle sleeve welded to the bolt body by Dan at Accu-Tig. Lost 1 1/2# over the original rifle, feels and shoots great. Very pleased.

I ain't. I thought about cutting the barrel back to 21 or 22" but it lobs 400's at an mild 2250 fps which is plenty for buff and is not a pounder in the recoil dept. I figured keeping the 2 or 3" was free fps. The only changes I hope it gets are some dings here and there wilst chasing buffalo in the future. smile
