This McMillan stock inlet has got me stumped. Any ideas?
- Thread starter Smith10mm
- Start date
Wow, so that set of two holes at the rear are For action screws???
not much beef around those holes (especially the bottom one) is there?
AI sold a Palma master that had a 5 round single stack mag. They were flat bottom with integral lug. Without pull all the shit out of my safe I can’t say for sure if the action screws go into the recoil lug, but it looks close. That Highpower stock fits the time period too.
Here is the bottom of my Coopermatch. Appears to be it..

Accuracy International Coopermatch
Hello! My gunsmith has an old Accuracy International Coopermatch with a shot barrel so it's a cheap but nice action (6 lugs, solid steel) I could buy for around $500. The stock is no bad and I could probably just keep it, it's a classical wooden stock from the nineties/early 2000. I wonder if...

My brother Scott traded Spike and I out of all our AI target rifles
There were three in the country initially, Carl Bernosky had one for a while. Kind of spendy for NRA High-power, cool stuff!

Not really. I think all of us who have one have considered changing the stock. I had a Sitman Prone made for mine in AA++ California Claro but decided at the last minute to do another Barnard because if the firing pin. It bolts right back into the wood stock. The Early AI match rifles were not bonded. I see Gilkes-Ross, AI, Grunigs, etc all moved over to synthetic stocks on occasion.
Whomever owned this one probably went to 260Rem or shot Palma and didn’t care for the way the AI stock felt. They are decent prone stocks but they would likely suck XTC.
As for 300wm, these have a replaceable bolt head. Drift out a pin, “pull” the head off. Seat the magnum bolt head, drift the pin and swap the barrel. You could do it on the firing line between matches if you cared to.
Not sure where you heard all that, the rifle pictured at Whidden Gunworks is a single shot 308 Palma master I sold to the AMU back in the day. AI England never made a 300 win mag target rifle. Like Chris said you can change out the standard bolt head for a Magnum and your off and running. I put one together and won the 1000 yard any-any rifle match at Oak Ridge first time out 200-12x. A Coopermatch was just a target rifle (repeater) in .308 quite a few were sold in Switzerland in 7.5 Swiss.Believe they been around since 2006
