I am having Dana English build me two rifles, a 6.5x47 in a McMillan A5 and a 300 win mag in a McMillan Rem Varmint. Both are Olive Marble as I think this is the best looking color/combo out there. The barrel on the 6.5x47 is a M24 Bartlein and the barrel on the 300 win mag is Bartlein Rem Varmint/Sendero contour. I am planning on going with Straight Flutes on the 300 and possibly fluting the 6.5x47. I am also thinking about cerokoting the 300 wm black and 6.5x47 FDE. I would love to see other color combos that have been done with these stocks. Thanks fellas!

I fucking love this rifle. Once I get a rifle I'm buying paid for and buy a KAC LPR my next move is a 6MM Creemoor. It will either be in the form of an extra barrel for my AIAX or a build almost duplicating yours, most likely the build because I gotta have one of those stocks.
Thrusty what is the length of your barrel? Love the look of that build!
That's my short stick -- 20"bbl.. It's great for matches that require a lot of movement, hunting and suppressor use.

4-6 weeks but I am supplying him with ALL parts. Picked up a Surgeon 1086 with Mag Bolt Face from Greg at Bugholes for the 300 and going with a BAT Tactical action from Jamie Dodson at Wolf Precision on the 6.5x47. Bartlein barrels, Jewell triggers, and APA Little Bastard brakes on both. I just got both stocks in today and they are beautiful. Great pics guys!
That is fantastic!! Sounds like you have a very understanding wife also!
Can't wait to see the pics of the pics when they are done. Which model stocks are you running? (Post pics if possible after all this is a OD marble stock thread ) BTW, I had that 1086 added to my cart and was about to push the check out button but I couldn't think of anything else to build... LOL

I am going with the McMillan A5 on the 6.5x47 and McMillan Rem Varmint with hinged floorplate on the 300 win mag. I had to wait a few weeks before I could snag the 1086 and it was stressful knowing he only had 2. I bet I checked Bugholes 5+ times a day to make sure at least one was still there. I even called Greg to see if he would let me put a deposit down on one. A buddy of mine (Gray) runs the Bat Tactical action and thinks it is also top shelf so I am also excited about it on the 6.5x47. I went back and forth on the stock for the 300 "Hunting" rifle. I really like the look of your Sporter but went conservative with the Varmint. Your pics also have me questioning whether I want to go FDE on both guns or stick with Matte Black on the 300 and FDE on the 6.5x47.

Jester - those black flutes look good. Nicely done.
50% OD, 30% black, 20% medium brown in the "RAD" pattern
B Swagger, great lookin rig! Just curious, what brand and barrel contour/length did you go with? Thanks.
Thank you, the barrel on the hunting rig is a Bartlein #3 finished at 24".
