Which McMillan stock?

[GAHunterJim]

I bought a Terminus Zeus QC and I'm looking at McMillan stocks trying to decide which one to try. I have several presently, mostly the Game Hunters and a new Game Warden 2.0 TG. I've looked at all of the "A" tactical stocks and don't really see any that interest me. I want to be able to hunt with the rifle and shoot it off of the bench, knowing that the ergonomics for both may be quite different. Considering the Game Warden Long Range but have not handled it. Will start with a Proof carbon barrel but may want to shoot steel barrels too. Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm not against that stock, would prefer to delete the adjustable cheek piece, I do like the straight lines of the comb. I do need a pic and arca rail but would like some feedback from people who have shot that stock. Thanks!

I have shot a few of them. Love it. If I wasn't such a Manners fan, this would be the only choice for me.

I have the LRH with a Proof Sendero profile and really like it.

Thanks! I like Manners and visited their shop but McM makes it much easier for me, just order, wait a month or two, drop in and shoot!

Yep

I have this Game Warden 2.0 (on left) but not sure it will fit the Zeus QC.

I like the paint job on the stock. Who did that?

This a custom rifle from Lane Precision Rifles.

My take on a few different McMillans. I cut my teeth on the M40 so I like them.

Game Scout-great forend for smaller hands and barrel profile.
Game Warden-Same back half with a larger forend for bigger barrels. Both have good vertical, however for shorter hands/fingers, the ergonomics is not perfect for finger placement, I kind of have to cheat my hands up/around to reach flat placement (maybe just me).

Manners EH1- Similar grip style, but the finger ergonomics is better for my short fingers (maybe a little closer and not as far a reach). The forend is huge and square for my fingers.

I currently have an adj Game Warden on a 308 and honestly, with the low profile of the buttstock, that is a great benefit, otherwise I have to add a cheek piece. Manners is a little higher, but not quite enough for my cheekweld.

FWIW. If going McMillan, brlow is the route I would go.
