Walked in the door from work and I had a white box on the table. I couldn't wait to open it as I'd been waiting on this McMillan for a while. After opening the box, all I could do was laugh! Things didn't quite turn out as I'd pictured in my head. I was expecting more black at the butt, more brown fading to tan in the middle and a little tan/white near the tip. Instead, my great color scheme turned into a McWoody in the back and a dirty snowflake in the front.... Hard to describe what it resembles, but it may be the ugliest McMillan of all time! I'm still laughing.....

It's unique...McMillan did exactly as I instructed. No fault of theirs, just not what I had pictured in my mind.
It's starting to grow on me though...

Is the barrelled action SS or blued? Not that it will matter much. That thing is still horrendous!!
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

I'm not really sure what to say, it sure is unique.

We may just play it forward with this one Sam. Shoot something, take a pick and pass to the next guy.
That could be an interesting thread....

I'd run the dam thing with a ss action, blue barrel, black bolt, and miss matched ss and matte Talley's.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
