However, McMillan will make most of their stocks with 'Edge technology' - I've also got one for a Tikka T3 in a Sako Hunter shape and have another for a Vixen on order.

If I were buying a stock for a Remington now I'd seriously look at the recently released Rem 700 version of the Kiwi Composites (now Southfort Labs) through NZ Hunter (Greg Duley) - I think also able to be ordered through H&F. I've got a T3 version on another Tikka and am extremely impressed with it - I personally think it is better than the McMillan. Have a look at the back of the latest NZ Hunter magazine.

Whats your thoughts of the edge stock?

In all honesty, the finish is a little variable (compared to the NZ Hunter/Kiwi Composites/Southfort versions I have referred to) and as Mikee has noted, they are a little low in the comb - I use extra low Talley mounts which fit most x40 scopes just fine but I wouldn't want to go any higher than mediums. The NZ Hunter version solves this problem, is much better finished, and from memory is a little bit better set up in the foreend for a bipod too.

One other thing to note - on my last McMillan order I was also told they are no longer doing the clear/see through coat too (which is popular in NZ). So that leaves you with either a marble/in-built finish (which is what have gone with) or paint - which are fine but something to think about.

In addition, McMillan's are getting very, very expensive...

Yeah, I used a pipe and a heat gun to mold it to the shape of the stock. That way it is removable. It is an easy oversight how low the standard edge stocks comb is.
