Could members please post pics with different Speckletone Granite Finish Colored stocks here. Maybe Rick Bin could make it a "Sticky". Im sure it would help all members deciding on what combinations they want. McMillan has very little examples of Speckletone Granite stocks on their website.

Just ordered olive base with black and tan speck - dunno what it will look like. It can be easily changed if I don't like it of course.

Will post pics and edit here when it arrives.

gabbott, That is the same combination that I ordered in February. I should be able to show mine first. I have been asking for these photos for some time now.

My Game Scout in FDE with black speckle here:

http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/6212990/2

OK, I received mine today. I like it!

Looks good! I should hopefully have one soon, as I ordered about a month after you. It'll be similar, but with gray instead of tan.

Looks good! I have the same olive with black/tan speckles finishing up in about a month.

Here is a Remington Classic Edge short action ADL. Color combo is brown base and black speckle finish with a red 1" recoil pad.
Sorry the picture quality isn't better - its a really nice combo though and the speckle adds some really nice texture to the stock.

That brown with red pad looks good!

I ordered my olive with black/tan specks on March 21st and got the call today that it shipped out. Can't wait to see it!

I love this stock!!!!

C'mon people, show some pics. I ordered (sight unseen):

brown with black & olive

olive with black & tan

tan with black & brown

Thanks!

Got a brown with black speckle ordered for my 416 but it'll likely be year end when I see it.

Here's my Hunter EDGE in olive with black/tan specks. Turned out pretty nice.

^^^BEAUTIFUL^^^

I just got my McMillan today. It's black with gray specs. I'm liking it.

Here's an up close pic of olive with black/tan specs.

A couple folks asked me for a better picture since the "olive" looked more greenish/ grey.



I really like the olive/black/tan color combo.

I just sent in a stock for a LOP change and to have repainted afterwards in olive with black and grey specks. I think it'll look pretty good on a SS rifle, and I'll try to remember to post some pics once I get it back.

Got in an olive with gray and black splatter, intending to go with a matte CM action and SS barrel. It should work. The gray blends in with the olive to a much greater degree than the tan. If you want contrast, go with tan specks.

BTW, this M7KS handle has no checkering but the granite paint is very "grippy". More than what I've seen with their standard one-color paint jobs and more than what you get from a typical H-S or B&C.

Thanks for the post JPro

Olive green and brown with no checkering on a SS Classic FWT. I actually bought this on the "specials" page at a discount. With the rough texture all over I see no need for checkering

Nice, what Cal is that M70?

30-06. I have always felt one of the Classic Fwt's in SS would make about the perfect all around hunting rifle. I like the new FN rifles well enough, but just trust and prefer the older style trigger more.

I found this rifle still NIB at a gunshow in May. I believe it was probably made around 1999-2000 and it still had the hang tags on it. Got it for $700 OTD.

When I got home I looked on McMillan's Specials page and found this stock. I wouldn't have ordered this, but I could get it "right now" and it was $475 shipped. Now that I have it and see how it looks on the gun It has grown on me. Since taking the photo's I've upgraded the scope to a Leupold 2.5-8X36. It weighs 7.5 lbs as it sits.

On the first range trip I fired 2 shots to get it on paper at 50 yards. This is shots #3,4,and 5 fired at 100 yards.

Stock came in today, looks great. Black with tan speckles.

Here is a pic of the gray base, black and tan spec finish on my new McEdge, Browning A-Bolt Classic stock.

For color caparisons sake, here is a pic (again) of my M70 McEdge in olive base, black and tan specs.

Very helpful. Thanks for the examples guys.

ddj

rj308...good comparison pics

RJ could you put that pic up of the gray base again ? Thanks

McMillan Grey with Black Speckles:

Nice, like to know more about the action/rifle and also = is that the latest FX3 6x42? Ocular seemed a bit different.

Starting new thread to not interfere with the granite theme!

Thanks Joel

The 2nd picture I asked for the same finish as McMillan's EOL rifles. Olive, with black and tan speckletone.

The other rifle is the McMillan SCI Phoenix raffle rifle. I asked the colors of the SCI rifle stock and was told they were the olive, with tan and black speckltone.

The SCI stock appears a lighter olive than mine. Sure is a nice looking rifle!

Derrickman..what hard case is that..I like the layout..and the colors of stocks DO look different!

Oldguns, the hardcase and rifle is McMillan's picture. Just using their picture for a comparison. Sorry, I don't know which hardcase that is.

I'm going to order another Speckletone stock soon. I think if I go with a 2 color speckletone, leave out the black speckle, should look more like the McMillan stock.

A couple of my olive with black and tan speckles.

-Doug

Very nice, Doug. I bet it looks even better up close.

I got tired of looking at the bad photos of my Grey with Black Specs, so I asked my wife to take a good photo:

Brown base with black speckle.

Thanks for the pics guys.

I ordered the Winchester Hunter Edge in brown with black specks and red pad for my 300 H&H, and a Rem MR Edge in gray with black specks for my Mtn Guide 7-08. Looking forward to 4 months from now!

Just received my Rem Hunter Stock in Olive green with black/tan specs. When I move slightly away from stock...I see NO specs...stock looks flat green(which is ok). I do have tired /old eyes. You may see different. For contrast you might want to go with grey with black specs or light tan with black specs. Sorry fo NO pics..NOT computer/pic savy. Hope this helps with your choice.

I don't know what it is about that Brown/Black Speck combination. I can't take my eyes off it. Especially with the red pad. It's going to be a stretch,but I have to get one of those. Between elk license and travel expense it's gonna be tight,but that stock rocks!

Classic Edge in brown & black speckle with a red recoil pad.
I like it!!

Does anyone have pics of a black stock with green specs?

I'm thinkin tan with green and Blk or brown and black. I'm ordering a new McM Hunter edge Friday. Gotta find a color combo::: stressful... They all look awesome!

I like black with grey speckles probably the most. (black or stainless action and barrel)

However, these look nice as well...

brown with black speckles (red pad, black action and barrel)

green with black speckles (black pad, stainless action and barrel)

nice

I've got a FDE with olive speckle on order. Can't wait.

That flat dark earth looks 100% different with the specs. Love it!

You wouldn't happen to have a picture would you?

Just what was attached to the link above our posts. Not many pics on the net of that color either.

OK. I'll put a few on this thread when mine arrives.

Fellas,

I'm looking at ordering my first McMillan stock and I really like the combo's I've seen on this thread.

Dumb Question(s) Alert: How does the McMillan Speckletone Finish Option work? Can you pick a base color and then one or two complementary colors in percentages you like? Or, do you select a base color and the one/two other colors are added to create the "speckled" appearance?

Just nominate your base colour and speckle colour or colours. They are painted on.

Percentages are used for colours on McSwirly gel coat stocks.

Olive base with black & tan speckle Classic Edge.

Anyone have any more FDE examples besides Greentimber?

Got this one last week. Vanguard S2 in 240Roy.

Stock is a Sako classic with Edge fill, tan base coat with black and brown speckles.

Recently received McMillan Hunter with Olive base and black and tan specks (seems like its popular). Looks great! The 6.5 Rem Mag is complete!

anyone have a tan with olive speckle? or tan dark earth?

Flat dark earth with olive speckle.

nice looking rig

Does anyone have any pictures of their rifle in the stock with the barreled action coated something other than black? I really like the OD green with black and grey speckles and I'm thinking of having the action done in green or grey to match. Or going FDE as the base and coating the gun to match. I'm still open to other color combos, I just want to do the barreled action in something other than black.

McMillan FDE with black speckles:

OD Green stock that I speckled with Coyote Alumahyde, and receiver coated OD Green from Black Ice.

Anyone sent a stock back to manners to have the granite finish done? curious on the price.

crap, meant to say mcmillan

I would think it would be the standard $56 charge.

Hadn't seen this combo yet so when I ordered it I wasn't sure of how it would look. I was stoked to see that it came out the way it did.

Grey w/ black and tan specks
Rifle is cerakoted w/ Satin Mag

Bobby7321,

Nice looking rifle.

Here's a similarly flavored one I've been tinkering with for awhile.

Also posted it in the "Rifle Blueprints Only" thread but figured it belonged here as well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

While not a full custom, here's a Stainless LH Model 70 I recently acquired and did some customizing to. I think it turned out pretty nice.

Work I did to it:

New custom Mauser-style bolt handle buildup and bolt release lever(by Mark Penrod)

Cut and re-crown barrel to 24", and whole barreled action bead-blasted to look factory fresh(by "Redneck")

PT&G steel bottom metal Cerakoted "Satin mag" to match stainless steel(by Eddie Fosnaugh). Still need to have Eddie Cerakote the Talley mounts in graphite black.

McMillan Win 70 FWT pattern in Black w/Gray speckletone paint

Glass bedding/floated barrel(did myself)

Cal: 7mm Rem Mag

Sorry for the crappy cell-phone pics.













Should be good medicine for Mulies/Elk on cross-canyon shots with handloaded 160gr Accubonds or 140gr T-TSX at 3,000 and 3,100 fps respectively.

Leftybolt

How closely does the satin mag match the bead blasted finish and how do you like the color? Thanks it looks great.

Satin Mag is about as close to beadblasted stainless as you can get, IMO. It isn't a perfect match but it is pretty darn close. Close enough that I doubt anybody would notice unless they were told it was cerakote. Just a slight shade difference in color.

I think it looks great; really like it a lot. Not many options out there right now if you want custom bottom metal for a stainless barreled action. Cerakote solves the problem and looks good.

Leftybolt

Both of the last two stocks shown above are really sharp. Glad McMillan finally came around to multi-colored paintjobs like these.

appreciate it

Tan with Dark Earth speckles...

My McMillan Hunter came in yesterday. I've still not seen this exact combo, but I really like it. Olive base, with black and brown speckletone.

Looks good Barry.

Thanks Ronny, I'm pretty stoked at how it turned out!

Gamescout in Olive drab with black and tan speckles.

Looks more like brown than olive base.......

Has anybody done a tan base with black and olive green speckletone. I think that would look pretty dandy.

I would love to see a pic if anybody has one

Here are the two Edges I just receieved in the mail. Both inletted for Sako 75. One is going on a custom built 257wby and the other is going on a custom 22-250 I'll be building next month.

Petro, beautiful rifle. Barreled action all stock? Balance well with edge fill?

Here's my Winchester EW 308 in a new Classic Edge with filled checkering. To say this stock is an upgrade from the B&C is the understatement of the year.

Its a bummer that so many of the posted pictures are "no longer found".

Yep, I leave my Photobucket pictures up.

Here is Black with black specks, Brown with black specks, Olive with black specks.

Let's try this again.....I accidentally deleted the pics

I really really like this combo. Black with flat dark earth and gray speckles.

Great shooting and nice rifle.

About time you made your first post. Ha!

With an elk:

I would like to see more if anybody would like to share. I believe the speckletone is route I’ll take when I get a McM.

Thank you for the pictures buddy. I’ve got a couple inbound this week.

Brown with black speckles and a red pad has become my go-to for blued or black coated rifles. Grey with black speckles with a black pad is my other go-to for stainless. My stock choices are pretty much vanilla and chocolate!

Gunnut,

Which pattern are these stocks?

Those are all Hunters Edge inlet for Model 70’s.

Saved those pictures for future reference.

Those are fine looking stocks, gunnut308. Well done, sir.

And with proper inletting, 🤣

I figured I’d add to the repository.
