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.
