I am having my target single feed 6 BR built with a 26 inch heavy 1:8 twist Bartlien barrel,pillar bedded, .271 standard neck, .100" freebore, Jewel 6 oz. trigger, Mc Millian stock and I am hoping for some opinions / advises on what you guys like. The action will be black with stainless steel barrel. What stock, color, bipod and cheekriser would you prefer? I just can't make up my mind.

Stock type: Mc Millian A 5? https://mcmillanusa.com/mcmillan-rifle- ... stocks-a5/

Stock color: https://mcmillanusa.com/gallery/

Bipod: Atlas or? Just need an attachment for future use, will use a Uncle Bud bullbag or Caldwell rest.

Cheekriser: Saddle or thumbwheel, or clamp bar thumbwheel?

Thanks for the opinions , if any.
 
I like the Urban and Woodland Spectre and the Desert Ambush. I have buddies with both of those Spectre colors and both are nice. You can put a rail on it for future use. I wouldn't do the saddle. The clamp bar or thumbwheel would look best. All 3 are functional and for the most part the cheekpiece never moves as long as the scope stays the same but the saddles are a bit ugly and it would be harder to sell the stock with one in the future if you chose to sell it.
 
Mark, what action are you using?

This seems like a very serious rifle, for benchrest competition!

Cool. Cheekriser? Consider just buying a stock with a high enough comb?

And, since I don't compete in benchrest... I think I'm done commenting 'cause I'd be over my head.

A Remington 700 action, just like my 6.5 x 284 and 300 Winny. I did not want to spend another $1500 for a custom action. I like the A5 McMillian, I have several of those on my rifles but curious what you guys have if shooting tactical or benchrest.

Idaho, I have the Urban Spectre on my 6.5 Creedmoor from GA Precision and its really nice. I agree on the saddle comment, i prefer the thumbwheel which the Creedmoor has.
 
The only McMillan I have is the M40A1-3 I had made some years ago and used on my SWAT rifle, a short-action Rem 700 with a Krieger barrel chambered for 308 Win, using the 95 Palma chamber.

It's a very comfortable stock from multiple different positions. At the time I was doing some NRA prone competition as well, and the stock worked nicely for that.

I too build a Multi use rifle in 6 BR on a Remington 700 action. It is however a magazine feed. It has 30" Brux. I used McMillan ATH stock for this rifle.



My daughter shooting this rifle for the first time printed this 5 shot group at 110 yards.
