Stocks Molded in vs painted

[Mag 300]

I am going to be purchasing a stock to build a surgeon based 338 lapua. I have had nothing but "issues" wit the poainted stocks and recently say 9 months ago bought a 3 color molded in McMillan and will never look back
What other stock makers have molded in colors like Mcmillan I know manners are painted and would love to buy an 4a but the painting part is making it a no go .

I came to the same conclusion. I really liked the fit of my Manners T2 but just prefer the Gel coat finish on a McMillan and the Manners was the first to be traded off.....I won't buy a painted McMillan either. I guess that's why we have options.

I really like the McMillan marbling.

Robertson Composites also does gel coats.

I also prefer the gel coats. If Manners starts doing gel coats I will buy another T4A. Until them I will be doing the 8 month wait for McMillans.

What kind of "issues" are you having with painted stocks?

Just got my McM A5 from JW Precision after only a 4 month wait. I was really considering a Manners MCS GAT for the next build. Still in the air on that one.

If you don't mind one color(no camo) the painted stocks are ok because you can hit it with the Krylon "one more time" whenever you need to.

But for me, the molded in Macs are the way to go.
