    JAE or McMillan for M1a

    I am building an M1a and am wondering what stock to get. the McMillian is lots less expensive. Can the JAE stock deliver the accuracy that a McMillan stock that is bedded can? Which would you choose and why?

    Hello. The reason for this topic is that I was recently in a shop that had both the National Match M1A and the Supermatch M1A. First, I picked up the NM(9.8 pounds), and loved the feel. Since I was in the shop, I was in a standing position. Then, I picked up the Supermatch(11.2 pounds). The...
