McMillan A6

Mine should be done anytime now. Two buddies have theirs. They look good, but are both at their smiths getting put together.
 
I have had two since June. I really like them both a lot. Feels a little more streamlined in the grip over the A-5. They did a great job! I am going to run them in some matches next year for sure.

Bat Tactical and Bat Tactical Elite Actions. Both are now 6.5 Creedmoors.

waiting on having it bedded, trigger fitted/timed, and a Henderson RSR rail installed.

Between the Edge fill on the stock, and the Proof CF barrel it weighs all of 9 lbs 2 oz so far ?

Any new info on the A6? Seen a couple post about flex between the barrel and front of stock, is this an actual issue with the A6 or a mounting issue? I'm looking at either this or the A5, any + or - to one or the other? Will be used as a working rifle on my SWAT sniper team. Thanks

Palma contour barrel in my A6 and no flex issues here
 
I've got a 30" Heavy Varmint on mine, and it flexes. I may have been the post you read about, not sure....think I posted about it once before. My A5s feel slightly stiffer, when you grasp the barrel and stock between your thumb and index finger & squeeze.

Still, it doesn't affect accuracy at all. I've only shot it in a single relay of a 600 yard match, but it put up like a 199-9x. Multiple ~.75" groups at 300 yards.

My big complaint about my stock was the horrible factory McMillan paint. I hated everything about it...durability, texture, feel etc. I just had my stock custom painted, and it's lightyears better feeling.

I love McMillan stocks, just ordered another for my FTR gun this week, but I'll never order a 'painted' finish again. Molded-in finishes from here on out.
