I've got a McMillan hunter stock in the 'McWoody' flavor on order for my favorite deer rifle. Although it'll be a while, I'd like to get some ideas on a Cerakote color for the barreled action... was thinking plain old graphite black. What does the 'fire say?

I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Midnight blue with extra hardener if you want to get close to the look of bluing.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

bsa1917hunter - Boy, is this one of those '6 of one, 1/2 doz of another' moments. Both the black and the blue look really nice. Guess this is what flippin' coins is all about...which one looks better to you? Homesteader

Guess this is what flippin' coins is all about...which one looks better to you? Homesteader I think it's hard to go wrong with either color, honestly. However, having had both cerakote colors on rifles, I do like the midnight blue better. If you like more of a matte finish, go with the graphite black. If you are looking for something that is more of a satin finish (looks closer to bluing than any other color), I'd go with midnight blue. I do like those mcwoody stocks too..

I'm not Orion, but it looks like the pre-64 Monte Carlo pattern, I've got one in the Woody swirl pattern but it's not cerakoted. Yes, it is a Pre-64 Monte Carlo pattern. This was my attempt at a "faux" Left Hand Pre-64 .300H&H. Besides the Pre-64 pattern stock, it also has factory original pre-64 sight set (18 line front ramp+hood, Lyman 16A folding rear). I eventually bought/traded my way into an LH Echols Legend which replaced this stock. The McWoody looked nicer, but, the ergos of the Legend fit me better.
