Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Blue and/or red McMillan pics?

I'm building two rifles right now that I think I'm going to order McMillans to fit.

Both will be heavy barrel groundhog/target rifles. One a M700 and the other a Shilen DGA. I'm thinking something like Hunter BR or maybe a Light BR.

I want the stocks to be somewhat "bright" and colorful, and lightish colored rather than darker, no camo on these.

I'm thinking something along the lines of red/grape/white in a 40/40/20, and another in light blue/medium blue/white in 40/40/20 or so.

Thoughts? Pictures of anything done in close to these schemes?

Thanks!

60/40 light blue and white. I also had a stock that was 60/40 blue and white, and I like the look of light blue much more.

Not red....I hate red.....

60 burgundy - 40 black

50/50 med blue/black Remington Hunter.



50/50 red/black Sporter

Here's another 50/50 Black and Red. If I recall correctly, McMillan uses the first listed color as the base color, which, even with evenly split percentages, will end up being a bit more predominant than the second listed color. I usually specify the darker color first, and have had good luck with that.

I think I'm going 50/50 burgundy/yellow

Yep, I agree on the light blue, hence why I listed it first.

I like yours, and with a bit of medium blue to accent it, I think I cold like it even more.

Yeah, I'm torn between red and burgundy myself, and keep going back and forth.

OK, thoughts on burgundy/grape/white instead?

I remember seeing that rifle before.

While black instead of white (probably better on a hunting rifle ayway), I always liked it.

I've noticed that as well, and it's actually why I'm thinking of specifying the colors in the order that I did, to keep these stocks lighter/brighter this time.

Nice!
