I get enough queries about this color scheme to warrant posting it. When I ordered it through Mike Bryant, I specified 80% dark red, 20% black. After discussing it with Rick Bin and looking at the color chart, I think McMillan used Burgandy where I requested a dark red, since they technically don't have a "dark red." In any case, I was extremely pleased with how it came out.

This one is SharpShooter's Nesika 6.5-06 put together by Charley Robertson of Score High Gunsmithing out of Albuquerque. Charley does extremely good work. I once shot a group with this rifle that measured .137" with 129gr Hornady Interlocks. Anyway, back to the colors. SS said it's a 50/50 red/black. This is the scheme I'm going with on my next project.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
