The wait is over !

[Larry in SD]

My McMillan Rimfire Magnum Varmint Stock arrived today for my Custom Ruger 77/22.

I originally Customized this Rifle back in 2009. I used a Volquartsen Laminated Stock with a Clark Custom Guns 20" Stainless Steel Bull Barrel. I reworked the factory trigger till it breaks like a glass rod at 1 1/4 lbs and had a hole drilled for an overtravel adjustment screw. Ruger 77/22 VBZ Bottom Metal was polished so it matched the Barrel and Action.

I never did care for the feel of the Volquartsen Laminated Stock so I sold it and decided to replace it with a McMillan Rimfire Magnum Varmint Stock, which I ordered 50% Black, 25% Light Grey & 25% White Marble. While I was waiting for the stock to arrive I sent the Bolt to CPC for Randy's Beyond Bolt Tightening. At the same time I took advantage of Natchez Shooters Supply's sale and purchased a new Weaver V-24 6x24x42mm AO Riflescope to sit on top.

Above is the finished product. No I have not shot it yet since I had the bolt work done, installed the new scope or put it in the new stock, but I hope to before the weekend is over.

I am not disappointed in the stock. The size and shape of this stock is perfect for what I wanted.

Man, you guys are killing me with some of the toys that you have. Very nice. How long was the wait on the stock?

Think I may need this for my cz 455. I have the same scope, great choice. Nice looking rig!

Thanks guys. I hope to get to the range this weekend.

I ordered the stock on 1-23-12, so a little over 3 months.

Well that just swayed my mind, been hesitant as I was assuming a much longer lead time.

Do you think there is enough meat in the fore end for them to install an Anschutz rail? If I get one I think I should go all in on options like adj buttplate, rail and maybe saddle cheek rest.

How is the cheek weld BTW?

I think there is an I would think a quick phone call to McMillan would answer that question for sure. They are super folks to deal with in my experience. I just wish they made this exact same stock for a 10/22 (I asked, they don't).
