Actually, it is just solid glass in the action area and is about 4-6 ounces more that the sporter fill. For max weight without lead shot being added you can order "full length solid glass fill".

On a somewhat related subject, does anyone know when McMillan's website will be back up? I tried tonight and was greeted by a generic advertising site that mentioned the expiration of a site registration.

Re: What is "Sniper Fill" on McMillan stocks?
Ok you guys covered some different fills but I think someone needs to tell the newbs what the different levels are so that the don't order a solid glass fill and find out it is too heavy.
Edge- Is the lightest fill, in my opinion is too light for a tactical rifle, good for hunting or some other app, you also can't add any features such as spacers or adj cheek.
Standard Fill- This is a regular fill and is just right for me, I'm not jumping out of trucks, helos, or boats anymore so it will stand up to what I am going to dish out which is carrying it to the line and shooting.
Sniper Fill- This is what the military gets cause they do jump out of trucks, helos, boats, and airplanes. It will really take the abuse and I'm sure Dick can chime in as to how many have actually come back from them broken. Not many.
Solid Fill- This is just like Dick said the heaviest you can get without adding shot, I don't think I need anything heavier unless I am crippled and in a wheelchair shooting from a benchrest. Even then I don't want a heavy rifle cause at some point I have to handle the thing, and I'm a puss these days and don't like to over do anything.
Whatever comes after Solid Fill- Rediculous unless you have to meet a weight requirement or want to bed your howitzer trying to obtain hitting within 10m of your intended POI within your grid square.
Hope this helps and if I didn't name a fill correctly "I'm sorry" there are others who are more knowlegable "Dick Davis" than I and I am sure they will fill in the corrections. Oh, and the staff at McMillan seem to know what they are doing, you can also go on their web site, I think the fills are listed on there somewhere.

Yeah I noticed that and called them, didn't get the stock shop but the machine shop. I work for the company that registers their domain and didn't want to see them lose it so I did the nice guy thing and gave them a heads up. They're so good to us they deserve some back. I was informed that they're changing the domain name but all their SEO still uses their old domain so even trying to Google stuff isn't coming up.

Everyone,
McMillans web-site address is www.mcmillanusa.com and has been for over three years now. Not sure how we can get the Google listing changed over to the new address, it's been three years and hasn't happened yet. We are working on it.

Re: What is "Sniper Fill" on McMillan stocks?
im assuming the sniper fill is the most popular for a tactical rifle. is this because of the weight for better stability or is it just for strength?

Re: What is "Sniper Fill" on McMillan stocks?
I thought that 'Sniper Fill' was when they add to the stock the crushed, finely powdered hopes and dreams of active snipers in order to give the completed rifle a more realistic aura.
