McMillan Mountain Tracker LR - Tikka T3 Dev Project

[Harvey_NW]

I called McMillan about this pricing deal. What happened is that @Harvey_NW got dealer pricing because it was sent to his gunsmith. My price is the normal price. I guess I should have had mine sent to an FFL. Feels a little scummy that they can sell for less and I am just paying more for no reason.

They said that the $859 pricing is 15% off so is probably first responder discount.

It wasn't dealer pricing, it was a Mil discount. I totally forgot they applied that, and it doesn't show up on the invoice.

MY BAD!!

The thing is we all ordered directly. If I knew I could do it on this project I would have shipped it to my FFL. The whole Dev Project thing just seems a bit poorly run as the way the orders were placed was very non-traditional. McMillan called me again and said they did have a lot of miscommunication on the project and have corrected it going forward. They were super nice and apologetic.

I don’t think you know what “poorly run” or “a lot of miscommunication” means. There’s another stock purchasing thread that would cover that.

At the end of the day, I’m just happy that I got a high quality stock in a very reasonable amount of time.

If there was a discount I could have received by sending to an FFL - sure, definitely a bummer. I’m not going to worry about it though.

@svivian apologies for giving you bad info, it's my busy season at work and I'm a dingus and forgot about the discount..

No worries! glad they take care of our military veterans!

Overall I think McMillan did a good job with this release, the quality of the stocks and price all seem within reason compared to other options.

Here’s mine! Hope to mount’r up tonight.

Why does anyone think the stock would have been cheaper through a dealer? The dealer has to make money so most of them sell at MAP or MSRP.

I have a MTLR stock on order for another rifle. If I end up liking it, I like having another stock option for Tikkas. I’d say the early adopters likely got their stocks quicker than typical production times as well.

For those of you that have these - how is the arca rail with it recessed? Can you carry with you hand in front of the mag where that rail is? I had one with rail surface mounted and it drove me nuts. Wondering if recessed makes a difference or not?

Its perfect. Still obviously square in the hand versus a round forend, but it is definitely the best way to have arca installed

I have had the Mcmillan ELR Hunter for a year, and now this Mountain Tracker LR. The recessed arca was 90% my reasoning for selecting both stocks, and I will not go back to non-recessed

Mine ended up being $784.55 with the MIL discount. I didn’t go with the premium paint, so it was $75 cheaper than Harvey’s.

HEC Sage:

I was thinking of painting my HEC Sage like with the Topo this to give it a custom touch.

Bad idea?

Good Idea.

I was just pondering some way to incorporate some orange into it and not look like azz.

What magazine is that?

Looks to be a Tikka CTR factory magazine.

Correct!

Is trigger reach on these the same as their m700 pattern stocks?

HEC Slate arrived - a bit more grey toned compared to their photo, but I like it. I’ll get it bolted together in a few hours.
