Hi everyone, I have the possibility of buying a used 7mm Rem. mag at a local sporting goods store and would like to know if anybody here has used a tubegun stock from

www.competitionshootingstuff.com or www.mcreesprecision.net

These are two very nice stocksand would like ya'lls opinion on these two. What are the pros and cons of each. The only con that I can find with the CCS stock is the target style buttstock (not so good for hunting in brush I could imagine).

One more thing off topic, the 7mm Rem. mag. is $449 plus tax, it has a nice wooden stock that looks barely used (I will use the wooden stock for the time being) I am really thinking that this is a good deal considering the ballistics of a 7mm Rem. mag.


Thanks,
P.B.Walsh

The McRee takes the AI mags as well and has far more options of end user upgrades and add ons. The 7mag is a great round. I would jump on it and get the mcree and not look back

from a tactical rifle. What would the pros and cons be for this type of platform? Just finished a comp that had a 90 degree prone and other "non typical" positions. I know Tubb make a "tactical platform" also. Would love to hear your input.

Re: Mcree vs. CCS

I think a major pro would be the AR-15 likeness and modularity, and a tubegun or Mcree stock won't look like your average sniper rifle and this could decrease a snipers profile.

I still haven't figured out a con of either the CCS or the Mcree.

It looks way cooler than a McMillian or Manners!! I really don't know other than that and it's cheaper than buying a fully bedded A-5 or T-4 with a DBM. A McMillian or Manners could be upwards of $800 while you can have a GTG Mcree stock for around $650 with a DBM and all of the goodies.

Re: Mcree vs. CCS

Update: I am going here in a few hours to put the 7mag. on layway!! Yay!!

Yes, looks can be subjective, but I personally like that coolness of a "radical" style stock, aulthough the Sentiel stock is a very cool fiberglass stock.

Thanks, and please keep up the comments,

Re: Mcree vs. CCS

I like the McRees overall but don't I don't like the square forearm. I thought I had seen someone mention that there was a round forearm (similar to the TacMod) in the works from McRees. If thats true it might be a winner. Even just knocking off the corners/rounding the edges more on the current style McRees would help.

Re: Mcree vs. CCS

Update: I just brought home my new (to me) Remington 700 BDL Classic in 7mm Rem. Mag. for $490.49 used of course but who cares! Thanks to my grandmother and mother for supplying the money.

If anyone would let me to e-mail theme a pic so that they could post it, I'd really like that. All I have is an Iphone, computer is broken.

Thanks,

Re: Mcree vs. CCS

I don't have any experience with the other stock but I did just pick up a McRee. I would have to say I like it. I dropped a remington action in it and took it to a competition. We shot in all the basic positions, and with gas masks on. No problems.

Re: Mcree vs. CCS

Wow that's pretty good I think I will go with Mcree for my .308 instead of my 7mag. vecause I fell in love with the walnut stock that she (the 7mag.) came in.

Thanks to all,

Re: Mcree vs. CCS

Good Day Everyone,

Well I would like to address a couple of the items mentioned in regards to the McRees Stock just FYI.

1. The squared edges are going to be rounded very very soon on all models. The programs are being modified now.

2. A rounded front section has been the topic of many many hours of conversation. And honestly I am not sure whether it will become a go or no go thing. Knowing Scott he has a rounded design in mind but trying to brainstorm the pros vs cons.

3. The space between the grip and the trigger guard is actually there for a reason. It allows the end user to go with different grips from various manufactures and that space is needed because we cannot control the dimensions of every grip from every manufacture from batch to batch. Also Scott has an adjustable aluminum grip being tested right now that needs that space due to it will adjust from straight up and down to 20 degree backward movement. The space is needed for the pivot.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

Out of curiosity, for those that already have the Mcree chassis, could they send the front section in to get it rounded? Or will it be a total re-design?

**EDIT** Got off the phone with Scott and he said that when they have everything setup for the rounded front sections that people could send in the fr section to have it rounded. Awesome!

Excellent. I eagerly await photos of the new modifications.

I keep forgetting about that one. I saw it at SHOT and it was very nice. A bit more money that the McRees but not as high as the TacMod.

Re: Mcree vs. CCS

Hello all-

Haven't posted for a long while. I have a Mcree's and am very pleased with it. The gap between grip and trigger guard bothered me too. As I have a small mill at home, I knocked out an aluminum adaptor which pulls the grip snug against the TG.

It did take a few hours of fiddling around to get it together, and at the next range session, I expected it to make a big difference in trigger finger position, but honestly, it didn't.

The only change I've made to the system which I felt was an improvement, was the addition of a few flush cup swivel locations, and I believe Scott may have those on his product now.

In short, the Mcree's is an incredibly fine addition to a good rifle, and I don't think you could do better. I hope someday, he'll do a Tikka T-Mag section, to accommodate those new AI .223 magazines. That would kill the only weak link in a really great off the shelf rifle.

Cheers... Jim

Re: Mcree vs. CCS

Dawn, the IMAGECAVE website is not working for almost 2 day's, i hope my pic will still be there !!!! sorry, i can't post pic for now...
The only mod i had to do on my MOR-07, was to cut the left side of the stock to accomodate the bolt release of the surgeon action. The KIT is not finished yet, i have received my Kreiger barrel for it but the tube is NOT screwed on the action yet !!

I had the chance to try it with regular remmy SPS and R5 and it work EXCELLENT, the mag supplied with it are JP, but regular AI mag work fine too. i also like the fact that the rear portion of the stock is a excellent Magpul PRS, i specially appreciate it here up north with our cold weather, they are made of tough polymer and are not cold on cheek as the other alu/plastic covred cheek rest (some of you south of me don't need to worry about that last +1 for me)even at -45C, it didn't bite the cheek and warm up to you face temp prety fast. i also didn't see the other stock but i appreciate the wedge that apply pressure to te recoil lug of the action, i have made some test with 3 different barraled remmy at the same time, once zeroed, if you switch one from the other and torque them properly each time, the 100y zero very very close eact time you switch it. Also, if you are concern (like me) about the gap behind the trigger guard, there is no gap on this baby.

Well, as soon as i can access imagecave, i'll post pic of the beast

I still think the way to go would be to allow for a barrel nut adapter that clamps into the reciever which allows you to attatch a AR10 handguard to it. A laRue 13.2 would be awesome and the ID should be sufficient. The only issue I see would be optic choices.

Maybe someone with some machinery and equipment can make that possible? I'd like to see those with AR furniture as well. Would definitely make it even more "modular" to an already modular design.
