B&C Gap Hunter stock vs. MCM Hunters Edge or ?

[cactusbrew]

A few weeks ago I ordered a GAP non-typical chambered in 300 WSM. The rifle is pretty standard with the addition of an M5 DBM.

In my original order I specified the B&C Gap Hunter and am now wondering if I want to go with the McMillan Hunters Edge? Or even possibly a different stock all together.

I plan on shooting this right handed configurated rifle both right and left handed (as needed) and bottom line, want "the best." This rifle is strictly for hunting, so lighter the better, if you feel me.

So what's your guys opinion on the appropriate stock for my non-typical? I am all about quality and not worried about price.

Thanks.

CB, my vote is to the McM Hunters EDGE.

For the the ergos are a no-go on the B&C.

YMMV

If price is not a consideration I would go with the McM.

What barrel contour? Also, heavy DMB on a light handy hunting rifle?

Decide if you have a problem shooting lefty with a stock with a left sided raised cheek. The B&C GAP hunter has one. As does the Manners SL, McM Mountain, and McM KS stock. Light handy hunting stocks that don't have the cheek piece are the McM Hunter's Edge and the McM Classic.

Keep in mind that the Hunter's Edge in edge fill is paint only as they don't do Edge fill in molded. You can also get a McM Classic in edge fill if you want the Classic superlight. You can also, I believe, do the Hunter's Edge in standard (non-edge) fill if you want the stock config with a molded gel finish.

The barrel is a Bartlein Stainless Steel, 5R rifling, #3 Contour.

I emailed Ken today and he upgraded me to the MCM Hunters Edge. The stock will be painted OD Green with black webbing on it, so the color is broken up some.
