McMillan vs. H-S Precision. Help needed.
#117721 - 27/10/08 09:07 AM

I'm in the process of building a 225 Winchester on an M70 action (was originally a 225) with a Pac-Nor S/S 1-9 twist barrel. I now come to the point of needing a stock and I can't make up my mind between a H-S precision varmint style stock, or a McMillan Varmint style stock.

Anyone got any comments, good or bad on either please?

Thanks,
David.

IMHO you should get either an H-S Precision varmint style stock, or a McMillan Varmint style stock. :-) Joking aside, you can't go wrong with either. You'll need to be able to glass bed the McMillan stock (or have it done). The HSP is a drop in. They both work well.

I totally agree with Tatume's comments. I have worked with both, and find both stocks to be excellent.

Winchester for years had a relationship with H-S Precision and offered their stocks on the M70 varmint rifles. I had a .22-250 that was so stocked.

I had a custom McMillan stock made for a .338 Win Mag and, in my opinion, their quality cannot be beat. There was no need for me to glass bed the rifle because the action fit snuggly with no movement whatsoever. The downside is the wait period for a new stock but you will find the wait well worth the patience.

On drop-in vs whatever else, it's best to assume *and exercise* the notion that there is no such thing as a 'drop-in' stock.
No two barreled actions are identical.
Full bedding requires full bedding, and it's not difficult to do, and it's a good thing to do - especially when you're starting with a plastic-fantastic (even top shelf) stock anyway.
The makers you present for comment are both great. It's very likely that you can find a gunstock that will handle properly for your needs, that will be solid, durable, and stable through the seasons.

Choose the one that fits your hands and your style the best, then spend the hour or so and bed your barreled action.
You can't loose.
