Chuck, although it is well known that I much prefer wood to synthetic, I sure do like the lines of these stocks!
The colour is not bad either!
That's a pretty nice setup.....

Heck, the fact that it has a bolt period leaves me to give it only a glancing look!!

Looks like the wrong brand for you. It must have been cheap.

It started life as a youth SPS of some chambering. I can't remember. I had a takeoff stainless 7-08 barrel put on it a few years ago, bedded it in this McMillan and along with a Jewell trigger sold it. I just bought it back and had another takeoff barrel put on but had this one chambered for the 243 AI. It has a VX 3 3.5-10X40 CDS in Talley LW X-Lows on it.

I was out forming brass for it today.

H1000 works best in my 243 AI with 108's. Slightly compressed.
