Getting close to ordering my first McMillan and have chosen to go with the painted speckletone finish. I have read through the speckletone thread many times but alot of the pictures are no longer available. I have listed a few color combinations that I am interested in seeing. If you could post a few images and close ups it is greatly appreciated. Stock will be a Remington Classic; barrelled action is stainless. I plan to either bead blast or Cerakote in Graphite Black.
Here are a few color combinations that I am interested in: Black with gray and tan splatter Black with dark earth and gray splatter Black with heavy gray splatter Gray with black and tan splatter Gray with heavy black splatter Olive with black and tan splatter
Any other combinations are ok as well. Also, does anyone know if it is possible to eliminate the checking and have the textured grip installed like the Game Scout or HTG model. I have emailed McMillan and am waiting for a reply.
Thanks, Ansley

Thank you all. Hard to chose as these all look great!
Oregon, did you have to specifically ask for white in the gray, black and white stock? I have never saw that combo before. If it is not too much trouble could you post a close up of the stock?
Keep'um coming!

That looks really good. I like the smaller flecks.

I have a brown stock with black speckle. I think it looks very sharp with my stainless action and barrel.

There is a sticky just a few posts above yours called "McMillan Speckletone Granite Finish Color Chart" that covers a lot of the combos you asked about.
I personally like the black base with gray and dark earth, put an order in for one with those color specs not too long ago.

Sevens, I have read through the other thread several times, but alot of the pictures are no longer viewable. The color combo you mentioned...is that one of the stocks on page 4? I like that combination also.

Here is a grey base with black speckles that is off being bedded to a blasted stainless barreled action.

The one posted by xverminator. I fiddled with my settings, but it's page 5 for me.

Ed, that that .416 of yours is by far one of my favorite McMillan stocked rifles. My FN 9.3x62 build is almost done and and took direct inspiration from your rifle. Mike McCabe is just finishing up the express sights, barrel band, Timney, and Dakota safety. I even tried to get Mike Scherz to make bases for it but he flaked out. Will be using Talley Signature bases, QR rings and a VX3 1.5-5x20.

You will have a fine rifle no doubt. Interesting that Micheal would not do the bases as I have a few sets of his with the 416's of mine having a "hidden" cross bolt on the rear base to lock it all well to/fro.

He was rather backed up when I contacted him. We set a plan and agreed on a timeline but then he wouldn't return my calls or emails requesting a copy of his FFL for shipping. I plan on giving him a second chance in the future.
