Gunsmithing Predator in a 700 rem mcmillan A5

[radmcg]

I was curious if anyone else had seen this. I sent my LA predator to my my Gunsmith along with an A5 fully inletted for a Remington 700, badger m5 and #7 taper. The stock is fully inletted with factory pillars. Mike called me with a small problem. The ejection port on the predator is about 1/8 higher than the stock inlet. Everything else is perfect, magazine fit barrel channel,feeding etc. I called Stiller and Jerry said he hadn't seen that so I called Mcmillan. The production manager at Mcmillan told me this was common and the Stiller and the R700 were 2 different inlets. I always assumed that aside from the bolt release they were inletted the same. I have a SA Tac 30 in a Manners inletted for a R700 no problem. Has anyone else seen this? tried to search this but maybe I'm using the wrong terms I got nothing related to the ejection port fit.

Rad,

Here is what my Predator looks like in my A5. If you click on the first picture it looks like mine fits like yours.

Good luck with your build,
