On a blued rifle I prefer black but am thinking either gray or olive. My stainless has a olive and I really like it but its stainless? Any thoughts on this it will be for a FW 7-08

My color selection is utilitarian and usually depends on it's intended use, but black and tan looks good.

Gray with black specks or black webbing. Got a PF mod. 70, blued, in a gray with black web B&C and it sets it off great. Looks a lot better IMO than the all black with blued.

I like the olive, but any other color is just a rattle can away so I don't worry about it.

If I order another for a blued rifle, it will be in brown. I did not like the gray that I put on a blued rifle nearly as well as I thought I would from looking at pictures.

DMc I have a couple olive/stainless rifles and I think its a good looking combo even if the stocks aren't edges.

Olive (OD), OD w black specks, OD w black/tan specks, Tan w black specks, Tan w black/brown specks, Brown w black specks, and black w gray specks would be my choices with a blued rifle. There are a lot of good example pics in this thread, https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...6488249/1/McMillan_Speckletone_Granite_F

Olive looks good on my 270 WSM.

I LOVE the Instrument Tan with white and black webbing. I seen one for a Sako m75 rifle previously and been wanting one. Need it for my m75 ss 270WSM.
