What stock is this?

[Spike A]

Hello all I’m looking for some information on a stock I picked up.... the gentlemen said it was an older McMillan benchrest for single shot 700 that some one glass bedded a follower in to use with a repeater action? The paint is good with only a couple small blemishes .... Any info / value would be appreciated.

Side note the pictures make it look sort of blue ish ... but it’s actually green metallic

I agree, older McMillan

I agree, older McMillan. I have a couple and have had more. Good stocks. Might bring a couple hundred, maybe a little less.

Thanks... I got it and decided I want to go in a different direction... was hoping I could either sell it or trade it for the same amount as a b&c.. so there are close to same value...

Not a mcmillan. Its either a lee six or hall. Mcmillan front ends have straight rails from the front to the grip.
Here is an example. They still make this stock today.

McMillan Hunter Class BR

I guess if it has a 3” forend we can figure that one out

How wide is the for end on it?

 

[geo.ulrich]

Lee six the Mcmillan were scalloped in on forearm

I have a mcmillan that looks very Mich like this stock except it is a hunter benchrest with bdl inletting. 2 1/4" wide

 

[STS]

The McMillan Hunter BR stock is 2.25 inches wide and the scallops that the HV/LV have are not present on the Hunter stock.

Do they tend to be on the heavy side if you are building an LV rig?

Those lee six stocks are actually quite a bit lighter than a mcmillan. They make lv easily if it was made as a lv stock

Sorry took so long to get back.. Christmas party ... the forearm is apx 3 inches wide and flat the whole length ... and it is very light... I can weigh it when I get home..

Your stock was probably used by someone on a Hunter Class BR rifle. The reason the follower is epoxied in is that in order to meet the requirements for Hunter Class the rifle had to be able to feed a round of ammo. Most competitors simply placed a piece of foam under the magazine cut out that would "lift" a cartridge into the chamber. They never worked, and nobody ever checked to see if they worked at the matches. I've put a bunch of those stocks on Prairie Dog rifles, they work well for that application too.

If it has fiberglass in the barrel channel and the action area it sure isn't a McMillian.... jim
