I completely understand how his manner of speaking turns people off, almost did to me at first, you get used to it after a while though lol.

I have one of his 5/8" bolt handles and it is spectacular, best upgrade spent on my rifle so far, especially when combined with a lift kit. I didn't think it would make such a huge difference but it did, the bolt lift is so much smoother now.

Think about it this way, for those extra 43 dollars you can get a front rail, increased weight or length of pull, even flush mounted studs! :P

Also, according to Kevin, that was one of his big complaints for Mcmillan, they don't come bedded (unless you send them your action to have it glass bedded).
