Really happy with my A5.
I went to see McMillan when I was in Phoenix and I was Impressed with the amount of hand finishing that went on to be honest. From memory there was nearly 8 steps between coming out of the mould and being dispatched. To get one with marks and blemishes I would say would be almost impossible unless it had been banging around in someone’s cupboard for a while. They are all dispatched in mint, and I mean mint condition.
I’ve got one of the carbon edge stocks and it’s very stiff, and I find the palm swell and grip just about perfect.
The PSE stocks are extremely well made and beautifully finished, and I can HIGHLY recommend having a look at Raven Arms stocks... they make some beautiful carbon fibre stocks.
