Kestros ZR Retro Fit

[boltman13]

I have an older McMillen Benchrest stock and I would like to fit it with a front bag rider similar to the Kestros ZR. I find nothing on the McMillen Web Sits that leads me to believe they would sell just that part. Does anyone know of a shop or individual who makes a similar device, either for sale, or fitting it to my stock in their shop? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Others might also be interested.

You would be better off finding some one to make you something. That zr hardware wont fit any of their BR stocks anyhow.

There are countless challenges to successfully implementing/retrofitting rails if you're looking to operate at the highest levels. You can watch the original video McM put out about how hard it was to pull off their design... And it still faces uphill challenges. Mounting, harmonics, barrel clearance, action Tang to barrel trim, 3D rail alignment to the bedding, center of gravity, torque, length, etc., Just to name a few.

My stock has a flat 3" forestock which even in 6BR-Norma rocks. I would like outer rails and to have the stock / front rest further forward to off set the longer, heavier barrel I now have for 600 yard Benchrest and F-Open. It may not be posable but I was hoping someone knew of a person or shop that might be able to.

@Bryan Blake

sales@fclassproducts.com did this one, it started as a bone stock Kestro (no rail). Blake Machine makes his own rails, and stiffens the forend to stock body transition. Very satisfied customer here.
