I hunt mulies and elk in an area that is mainly sagebrush with a fair measure of basalt mixed in, as well as stands of pine. I'm leaning towards the Desert Camo pattern but was also wondering what McSwirly color combo might come the closest.

Your terrain Swirly
40%dark grey = basalt 40%woodland beige = sagebrush 20%forest green = pine

Found these two from a 2009 'fire post by the Gasman. This is what it looks like....at least sagebrush-wise.

Maybe not a perfect camo but I sure like that Desert Camo, in fact I have a LVSF 7mm-08 at Eddie Fosnaughs being Cerakoted that pattern right now - I plan on using that as my go to antelope rifle. Those pics are nice!!

Well, maybe I should ask: Is the idea behind the McSwirly to create a cool, personalized, one-of-a-kind stock or one that lends itself to a specific camouflage or both?

Colors, unless you are hunting birds or humans, are for my entertainment on stocks.
I hunt elk and muleys with an orange vest and cap.... a camo stock would not be required and mostly I have a wood stock blued barrel MZ that is not camo that works.
At this point in my life I wouldn't even worry camo when bowhunting either also.
But I have camo stocks on a couple of guns because I wanted them. Desert camo on one.

Pull them white rags out and it would appear to blend in with the "sage brush" carpet pretty well... What is that, desert camo with black thrown in...

Why pack all that messy meat out of the bush when we can just go to the grocery store where meat is made? Hell,if they sold antlers I would save so much money I could afford to go Dolphin fishing. Maybe even a baby seal safari.

I sure do like the looks of the molded camo stocks, but they are bricks.

Stock needs a little red to match terrain exactly.

Muskie got it right. I was out at Little America and decided to take a walkie without my rifle after I'd gone in a ways. Left it next to a big sage -- then when I came back, I realized there were a LOT of big sagebrush. Yes, I found it after about 15 minutes -- after finding my shoeprints and tracking myself. Humans have color vision -- from then on I decided to take advantage of that.
