McMillan McWalnut

[30338]

Have a few camo, painted, and swirly McMillans and like all of them. Decided to get a look at the McWalnut for a lefty 700 long action. Thinking its worthy of a build of some type now. Another option if you are looking for synthetic with a wood look.

Dang, those look nice! How much do they weigh and what fill?

I've got one on a pre 64 model 70. Classic look with modern performance. Not terribly light with standard sporter fill but rock solid.

Have a kitchen scale that I won't verify is 100% accurate but coming up with 29 ounces. That has a 13.75 inch LOP and the pic rail for quick attach bipods up front. Once I started using those, I have been adding that to each forearm.

Had a McMillan gift card so built this without a rifle to go with it lol. Have to watch for a lefty BDL now I guess. Thinking new 8 twist 280 remington would be a nice rifle.

I like them too. Hand polished this McSwirly. Took forever but turned out great! I’d like to get a McWalnut next and do the same way.

Tell me about that polishing process if you have time.

That looks very similar to the mcwoody, had one and it looked great straight from mc millan

Think it is actually called a McWoody.

The polishing process… with Mcmillans you can polish it as it comes, without adding clear or anything. Just be careful not to sand Thru the factory gel coat. Basically I started wet sanding at 800grit, then 1000, then 2000. Might’ve hit it with something higher after that. Then I finished with an orbital polisher with 3m polishing compound and wax.
