Wait for McMillan, you'll be happy with the results.
Try Stocky's they may have one in stock.The stock search will continue as McMillan said 6-8 months & closer to 8.
It's easy to do a straight 7-375Ruger. Just start with a .338RCM neck die, follow up with the .300RCM neck die, and then run it through the custom 7-375Ruger.Sure it will as long as you want to shoot .375 or the newer .300 PRC. There is a little bit of work getting these cartridges necked down to caliber you want when starting at .375...
Bringing this back from the dead… @mtank can I ask you which stock you ended up going with? I'm in the same predicament except my Mark X action doesn't currently have a stock! I'm considering an ArchAngel as it seems very good for the price!
I am not @mtank but I have use a couple of the Archangel brand of stocks for both the Rem. 700 and the Mauser M98. Just be aware that these molded stocks are slightly heavier than standard molded stocks. Not relevant unless you're trying for a lighter weight rifle.
The prices are pretty good and the manufacturing is good when compared to factory offerings.
I have also bought a few of the stocks from Stocky's which work just as good as the AA but cost a little more. The selection of dips is pretty good. The carbon fiber dipped stocks attract a lot of attention. There are a few nice wood stocks available in either solid wood or laminates.
I've looked @ Brux & Krieger a good bit but hadn't really looked for a 8 twist. Does the lower the number of twist stabilize the heavier bullets or do I have it backwards? For a light weight hunter what contour? I need a barrel, a good trigger & maybe a decent stock. Still have the nice Woodstock but hate mess it up. When you add that stuff up I would be as well off to buy the new Remington 700 awr with the 5r barrel that's on sale right now. I bought the glass for which ever set up today.
