I wish McMillan would offer webbing paint jobs on their painted stocks. They offer the solid colors and the "Granite" or I think they are also called "Speckletone" paint jobs, which can have a base color of your choice of the colors they offer and you can pick one or two of those same color options for "Speckles" on the base color. I still am not sure what they look like up close, but I blindly ordered an Edge with an Olive base and black and tan speckles. I hope to have it in a month or so. At one time webbing was a option when ordering through here.

Rancho mentioned no paint would be cool so I went with no paint. It looks gray from a couple feet away. If you look closer it sorta resembles snakeskin.

I ended ordering OD green with black speckles in a Hunters edge in Rem Mtn Rifle Pattern. I hope it will look good with stainless. Thanks for your input. Tom

Here is a silly question...for the most part, are these stocks by McMillan "drop-in" operations or is there a bunch of fitting and bedding ect.?

Many do bed - I do but out of the 6 McMillans I have/had all fit perfect out of the box with no fiddling needed.

I bought this one used, and it was bedded to an LVSF prior. So when I dropped my LVSF in, the bedding fit like a glove and she shoots so well the dogs just fall on the cargo rack. This guy was an experiment. Shot it both ways, and glass bedding helped significantly. Same experiment with this one. Bedding helped. All three are "custom drop in". Travis
