Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Advice on McMillan color, blued action, stainless barrel

Thinking about ordering two McMillan stocks for a pair of varmint rifles.. Blued action and stainless barrels.

Wondering if there is any molded in colors you prefer for that combo?

Not to flashy..

I have that combo on a few of my model 70's
one mcm OD green w/red pad, the othermcm brown w/red pad, I also have a brown precision stock gray with black speckles, PM me your email if you wants some pics.

I'll just go ahead and say it.

Yellow.

Not too flashy, but handsome?

Burgundy swirled with black
Dark gray with white

JPro,

Impeccable timing - I was just searching for one of your photos in the custom sticky.
I always thought this was about the right amount of lively and different yet still not "flashy".




70 black and 30 white (or light gray) looks great with about any combo.

The right color blue or yellow would look good instead of pink with the grays.

Black and white is a safe choice. This one was 60/40

Orange, Yellow, Black flame.

Steelhead used to post a picture of a Howa 1500 in a McMillan Swirly in Salmon color. I always drooled over it.

I’ve had dark red/black, red/black, and medium blue/black. My favorite was the dark red/black. Years ago, Big Stick posted one of his rigs in a “desert flame” pattern. It is one of the sharpest looking McMillan’s I’ve ever seen.

The new Carbon Ambush options are very cool too. My Desert Carbon Ambush pictured below.

Also have a look at the “Let’s See Your McSwirlys” thread at the top of the page. Still a lot of pics there that could give you some ideas.

70 black & 30 medium gray

I usually paint my barrels so I don't have to match the carpet to the curtains......
