Mcmillian hunters edge and sps aac 20 inch

[boomer81]

I bought a mcmillian hunters edge after seeing a friends. I thought it would work but the barrel at the end is a little to big and it sits above the barrel channel. So Should i send it back and get a htg. Just bed it. Rebarrel it. or rout it out and bed it. There is not much to rout. I wanted to make the lightest .308 i could that was threaded for a can. for my truck and long hikes/hunting around caynons on my property. Or should i just say piss on it and buy a kimber mountain or a browning titanium or 700 mountain. Thanks to all

Have your smith open up the barrel channel.

yeah uh i got that but um it's a $700.00 stock just wanted some opinions before i went grinding on it and it's pretty thin walled if it was a a-5 or a htg i would say no probllem but this is the carbon fiber version thats pretty thin

In that case, contact McMillan and have them change the barrel inlet so it is done right.

On second thought...
Per McMillan on the hunters edge model, “The slender forend will accept up to a factory magnum barrel contour or custom barrel similar to a #3 Douglas or smaller.”

I would leave it alone and replace it with something designed for the Remington Varmint barrel your AAC has.

Sorry, but no way to get a Remington Varmint contour barrel into the slender little forearm on a Hunters Edge stock. The barrel is bigger than the forearm.
