Saving some ounces would be nice. I don’t normally care but this gun is not light. It’s a .270 Win

Definitely worth going McMillan in their hunters edge pattern if 22” barrel on the 270. 24” might put balance a little far forward depending on what optics you have on it

I just put in an order for a McMillan Hunter's Edge Sendero after trying to decide between Manners and McMillan for a while. McMillan gets my vote

Went with McWalnut and a red pad for a stainless fluted 700...should be here in next couple months.

woah woah woah. You can get a red pad on one? Shoot I wish I'd have known

Red hawk rifles has 10% off hs precision. I had it three days after I ordered it.

I’d go Bansner for a win 70

I have a Mc Millan edge classic on my 700 xcr2 in 270. It was a lot of money but I was never completely satisfied with any stock on any rifle I ever owned until the edge. It was worth the money to me. I can certainly understand why someone would not spend that on a stock.

The edge has a superior carry to accuracy ratio for the calibers it's recommended for. I can't say enough for it's performance/comfort/ergonomics on a 7 Supa Mash.

Call McMillan. They can certainly change your order.
Here is an example. Not my rifle but a Mcwoody with red pad.

Good lightweight option for sure

While McMillan is an excellent stock it is fairly expensive. HS Precision stocks are very good, much better than the factory stick. The B&C stock is a very good value, and really quite a good stock. Houge stocks are inexpensive and popular, but I do not like them.

If you are deciding based upon just weight alone your decision should be easy, but usually other factors (cost, availabiliity, etc.) come into play. I would not shy away from buying the HSP or B&C just based on weight and internet opinions. They are very good stocks. I buy some stocks from Stocky's Stocks. I like Stocky's, but find that I can buy them for less and get more options by buying directly from the manufacturer.

I believe it has a 24”. Will have to check when I get home.
With a Leupold VX-5 3-15 and Talley low rings.

With the beefier vx5 it would probably balance pretty good

Bell and Carlson has a different angle on the grip that is very uncomfortable imo. At least on the rem 700 stocks.

I love my McMillan game scout for my Tikka T3x. Looks really sharp with my stainless rec'r and barrel. Dropped in perfectly.
MOLDED-IN, MARBLE, 50%-BLACK, 25%- OLIVE & 25%-MED GRAY
