Show me your McMillan a6 and a5

[tarheel7734]

I am still contemplating the McMillan a5 and a6 for my 6.5 build. Please show them off.

Some pictures of A6 here. Mine is the red white and blue. It has been a great stock to run in matches. I have no complaints. It is easier to add accoutrements to the bottom because it is flat.

McMillan A6

Has anyone tried the new A6 and A6 PRS yet?

If someone has an a5 and an a6 I would love to see them together.

I like the A6 a bit more due to the flat surfaces.....

If memory serves, I split it 33% Olive / 33% Tan / 34% Light Tan. It was at Diana at McMillan's suggestion from her personal rifle, and she's since passed away.

I’m still deciding what barrel contour to go with; what is pictured here?

This build was roughly 8-10 years ago but it was either a medium palma or a Remington sendero contour. Both very similar. I used one for the build and one for the next

What is the purpose of the build

For now - bench gun

in the future - PRS

I have a 24" Bartlein M24/M40 contour barrel being spun up right now. I thought yours looked similar

I love my Bartlein m24 contour. I wound up going with Manners t4a elite instead of McMillan.

I prefer a heavier contour then lighter especially is prs is involved. I mainly use mtu, heavy varmint, or a comp contour that finishes at 1.00-1.1” with a larger shank like 4-6” at 1.250. My main prs guns are a Viking mtu which is an mtu that finishes at 1” at 26” and a heavy varmint that finishes at mid .93-.95” at 26” if I recall.
