McMillan,

I am the winner of the 2010 Wimbledon Cup Match at the National Matches at Camp Perry. The trophy was first presented in 1875 to the American rifle team attending the British matches at Wimbledon by Princess Louise, on behalf of the riflemen of Great Britain. The Wimbledon Cup has been presented to the winner of the 1,000-yard match at our National Matches since that date.

I wanted to write to let you know that the rifle I used to win this match was a Winchester Model 70 Classic, bedded in a McMillan Baker Special stock. I thought you might like to know that McMillan was again in the winning circle of one of our most prestigious long range shooting events.

Thanks for making a great product!

Sincerely,
Richard L Kussman

McMillan,

I have been a long time fan of your products. My father always told me that you have to have faith in your equipment, if you’re going to have faith in your shot. Those words stayed in my head from the first rabbit I took down with my .22 To the first time I went thru the Basic Rifle Marksmanship qualification course with my M-16, to my final stationary quall to get my B-4 qualifier at Fort Benning GA. 

Respectfully yours,

Marco Dominguez

McMillan,

I am excited to have received my McMillan Model 7 stock in time for opening day of deer season. I wasn't sure it would be finished and shipped before hunting season began but thanks to your great staff, I received it in time. I own several McMillan stocks, and I am very happy with each one and with your company.

Thanks for the superior product and above ALL YOUR superior service. You have a lifetime customer in me.

I just wanted to share with you this picture of a red sheep I hunted with your Outdoorsman at 350 yards. I am very happy with this rifle, the best tool for mountain hunting.

My best wishes for 2011

My McMillan Dynasty 270 WSM is a true "tack-driver." I have shot many rifles in 29 years of military service and I have never seen a rifle shoot a bullet repeatedly in the same hole at 100 yards! I'll send you pictures.

Very respectfully,
Karl A. Schwartz

Kelly:

Here are a couple of recent targets. I am going to be using your 270 WSM Prodigy on several hunts this season. I enjoy your rifle very much.

Very Truly,

Kelly,

I know your busy, so I'll be brief. I'm dialed in. If a bull elk comes out to 600 yards, and I've got a decent rest, and I'm not fighting a wind, he's mine.

Last group was in a hurry as you would be in a field situation, at a target that had come off its backing at 425 yards and was flapping in the breeze, presenting itself edge on as you would turn the page of a book. I shot between gusts and would of been surprised if I hit paper at all. Three shots center to center was 3/38 inches. Less than the space in the palm of my hand. If I miss an elk next month the excuse will be looking into the mirror every morning when I shave. It can't be anything else.

If any of your clients ask for advice for what ammo to use if they don't reload for the 338 Win Magnum, I can give an enthusiastic recommendation for the 225 grain TTSX Barnes Vor-TX. Cableas and Cheaper than Dirt sells it for right now. I've just ordered five more boxes. Once the secret is out on this stuff, its going to be impossible to find.

As I mentioned before I've been chasing a McMillan rifle for twenty years. It was my Holy Grail. I could never afford it on a Police Officer's salary.

People who purchased a McMillan, keep them, and the pre owned market for these rifles simply doesn't exist. A slim window of opportunity came my way with my last active duty check, and I jumped at the chance to own this rifle.

I will say you don't fill a Ferrari with E 85 gas, and I shouldn't of tried to shoot this rifle with ammo from a relatively unknown manufacturer. It caused me to doubt myself, my optic, and the McMillan. Turned out it was none of them. Plan B with Federal TSX loading was infinitely better, but Plan C with the Vor-TX turned up golden.

As a retired Police Sergeant, at 52 years of age, I learned long ago that dreams almost never come close to reality. I say almost, because this McMillan is every bit as good as the dream. My only regret is that I am not financially strong enough to own a safe full of these rifles. I want to thank you again, and will drop a line sometime next month on the results of my first elk hunt.

"I’m having a blast with my McMillan G30 rifle. Recently I dialed in my hunting load and did some final testing. My target was a 12” gong at exactly 575 yards. I was 10 for 12. I believe I misread the wind a couple of times. I’m looking forward to three hunts this year, elk in ID, deer and cow elk in AZ."

Thanks,

McMillan,

"Thank you for the McMillan Tactical Hunter rifle with a left-handed action in .308 Winchester McMillan built for me.

Today was the first chance to shoot the rifle. Wow! My Tactical Hunter has a Leupold VX II 3-9 x 40mm scope mounted on it. The ammunition I shot was Hornady A-Max Match. At 100 yards, the first six shots were in such a tight group that there was only one hole in the target. Enclosed is the target for proof. A few more shots and I had the group at two inches above the bull just where Craig Boddington says a rifle should be sighted in. The slightly larger fore end is easy to get used to and fits nicely on a Hart bench rest. The Tactical Hunter lives up to its reputation as written about in the Sports Afield article by Chub Eastman. I am happy to endorse this rifle for serious hunters and marksmen."

I wish I could shoot as good as this rifle does ...

Kelly, 

Thought I would drop you a line to thank you for my new McMillan rifle. I just returned from Kyrgyzstan on my quest for Marco Polo. The gun was subject to sub zero temperatures at 14000 feet for 18 days and worked perfectly. As you know I had no doubts about the rifle. I should know I own FOUR of them. Again many thanks.

Your Friend,
Chris Savittieri

Kelly,

My son finally got to shoot the gun you built for him. We ran five different reloads and one factory Remington loading for group accuracy. The 1 in 12 twist shoots the 165 gr bullets into 3/4 inches at 100 yards, but it shoots factory 180 Rem into 3/8 of an inch. These were three shot groups. You can really build an accurate gun. My Rem CS 300 RUM can shoot 1/2 inch at 100 yards, but only with custom Arizona Ammo and I'm down 28 rounds.

We thank you so much. Hopefully we can encourage others to invest in the most accurate 30 caliber I have ever seen.

Best Regards,
Paul Elia

Kelly,

Thanks for the great rifle. I am so happy with the feel and balance of this gun. It is truly the nicest gun that I have held, and I looked at a lot of guns.  I will be using the rifle for hunting, primarily deer and bighorn sheep. I know I've made the best decision going with McMillan.

Thanks again, Great Gun!

Kelly,

I have been hunting big game for fifty years and have used several models and calibers of rifles. I purchased the McMillan Outdoorsman 300 Ultra Mag for my trip to Namiba, Africa. It is the best performing rifle I have ever shot in my life. The owner of the Uhlenhorst Safari Company fell in love with the rifle after shooting it and wanted to keep it.

Thank you Kelly McMillan for manufacturing such a great firearm.

Kelly,

I experienced a great Kodiak bear, squaring 10 ft. plus...1300 lbs., a great guide, a great hunt, and a great rifle with excellent training. Alaska Trophy Safaris took care of providing the most incredible hunt, and McMillan took care of providing me with a superior weapon system, my 375 H&H. McMillan also gave me the opportunity to train with their trainer/sniper that in my opinion was the reason I had no hesitation in taking a 215 yard shot at this monster bear. One shot, one kill.

If you’re going to Kodiak Island where you’re definitely are number two on the food chain, take along enough gun and make sure you have the confidence to use it. McMillan can provide you with both, and as a matter-of-fact they're going to build a .458 LOTT for my next hunt as well as provide another day of training.

A Midwest guy that is still smiling and will for years to come.

Kelly,

The first thing I did to get ready for my hunt was to get outfitted with a McMillan Dynasty rifle chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum, topped with a Swarovski Z6 in 3-18x50. I was fortunate enough to draw a Utah Buck/Bull combo tag and spent many hours preparing for what I hoped would be a great season. Hundreds of rounds made their way down the barrel making sure everything would be right on when the moment came.

When hunting season finally arrived, I was prepared. After spending much time hiking I eventually found a buck that met my criteria – his head wider than his ears. It took about an hour to get to a range I was comfortable with and I settled in to make the shot. The rangefinder read 458 yards and I was shooting at a slight decline. Deep breaths, a good rest, and the squeeze. When all was said and done, I found myself looking at my biggest deer to date, a 27" wide Muley that green scored 162" B&C. This was a shot I never would have taken with any of the equipment I had previously hunted with. I was glad to have a rifle in my hands that I knew could handle anything I threw at it.

TESTIMONIALS –TACTICAL

"I took first place in five out of six meets that I entered between 2009-2010 using a McMillan TAC-50 BMG. I won a total of 21 plaques. The TAC-50 performed well even against many custom built rifles costing significantly more than mine."

The instructors were a bottomless cup of knowledge.  Mark’s valuable insight from simple observation methods to a snipers capability of demoralizing the enemy were pertinent to our profession and added innovation to thinking outside the box.

I like the fact that he [Mark] sees sniping a bit different than us and has a lot of real world experience to back it up.  It gets us out of the one-dimensional mindset.

Hello Kelly,

I would like you to know about the Tactical Fifty BMG I purchased last year. I was very curious about its accuracy potential. Not at all worried about the quality of the firearm... really the accuracy potential of the 50 BMG cartridge it fires. To me, the obvious quality traits lie in the McMillan craftsmanship, from the stout action to almost indestructible stock. The blending of quality parts, Jewell trigger, match barrel, brake, tripod and the Night Vision Optics compatible scope rail are all outstanding. I started my load development at 300 and 500 yards. Well, I am here to state that there is NO accuracy problem with this combination. The 5.5x25x56 mm Nightforce with the NPR2 reticule proves a winning combination on this rifle. During load development I have not had very many groups over 1 minute and several load combinations at 1/2 MOA with a couple of near 1 hole 5 shot groups at 300 yards. Now that loads are developed, I intend to shoot this at 1500 to 2500 yards. This is a winner of a rifle. You can buy other 50 BMGs out there that just have a lot of boom or gee whiz...or buy the real tack driver ... TAC 50 with it you really can "Shoot to Win" and it'll get you a smile as well.

Kelly,

My name is Michael Mayo.

I just returned home from a week with your employees and the guys at GPS. I was the red headed guy from NH.

After my experience, I felt compelled to contact you.

When I purchased my TAC-338 I made the buy on your reputation (McMillan International) alone. Which of course is outstanding.

After a week of marksmanship training and time in your shop – I am a believer. I believe in your rifles, in your company and its employees as well. Your hospitality, patience and commitment to customer satisfaction are outstanding as your rifles.

So please thank Ryan, Keith, Maura, Dave, Charlie and the guys at GPS for me. I will use everything I learned to excel to my full potential.

You guys have made a friend in New Hampshire. Please don't ever hesitate to call on me for anything.

Respectfully,

Maura:

I want to thank you, your family and Keith for inviting me to the shoot, to say the least it was a hoot. I had a great time and learned a lot about your rifles, which hopefully will translate into more sales. I got to see first hand what a quality rifle McMillan builds. I came away from the class with a greater appreciation for what a great product an American company in Arizona can build.

Again, thank you.

Britainy,

I want to thank you, Ryan, and your whole organization for allowing me to be part of your marksmanship course. The instructors from GPS were outstanding and very professional. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had while training. I would very much like to do it again, if possible.
