No chit. Definitely one of Mcmillans pluses. They'll do about anything you can ask for.
Is that a Hunter? What rifle is in it? Sako 75 in 30-06 and coated in Birdsong Black-T. Yes, definitely a plus. Finding a LH Sako in a LGS is like finding a gold hens tooth.

Nice rifle.
I just picked up a older L61R Finnbear in 30-06. Heavy fugger. The plan is to put it in a McMillan and rebore to 9.3x62. You ever run the Sako Classic? Kinda torn 'tween the Classic and the Hunter.
I may have to keep it 06 for a while though!

M70 New Hunter ordered in Jan. Not expecting to use it this hunting season. Edge fill w/speckletone finish. First Micky for me - I'm hoping good things come to those who wait.

I may have to keep it 06 for a while though! No, only done two so far, both Sako 75's so have stayed true to that pattern. The other, formerly a Gray Wolf, which was heavy as hell. The McMillan shaved a pound off just in standard fill.

What model stock and for what action? Just curious. They tend to do them in batches.

Left handed Game Scout, Edge Tech for a Pierce Ti long action. Can't wait to see how this one comes out.

Hah! Doubting they had a huge run of LH Game Scouts for Pierce LA's!
I'd like to may with a Gamescout. They look like they'd be pretty sweet.

I think McMillan has been claiming 4-5 months for the last 5 years, haha. Just count on 8 and you won't get impatient.

They do the runs according to stock design, not inletting. Mcmillan builds a lot more Game Scouts than say, Ruger R series stocks. Thus you are more likely to get a popular stock design quicker than one which is less so.
