McMillan forest stocks: need action color help.

[jml403]

Yet another boring topic! Throw me a bone though, my black on Forest stocked rifle is so plain it pains me to look at it. I will be having a muzzle brake soon (edit- Badger thruster on the way) since I cant shoot it for shit, figured the action could use a little duracoat as well... The question is, what colors look best with the forest stocks besides black? I think I have come accross maybe one with OD and it wasnt a very good picture.

Any opinions? Maybe pictures of some rifles wearing Mcmillan forest stocks that dont have black actions? Thanks

Before someone mentions it, I went into this "build" to be pretty, my krylon cans wont be touching her!

How selfish of me, requesting pictures and help without sharing. This is my 300WM budget build gone horribly wrong...

Its a tough call, and im being a pussy about it. I just dont want to do it without seeing a couple pictures so I know it will look good... Maybe someone here in the next few days will help us out!

JML,

I have a Forrest Camo stock and I'm thinking Milspec OD. To me it looks a lot like a Parkerized finish and blends well with most camo color schemes. I've used it with GAP and Desert camo so far and they both look good IMHO.

By the way - I like your stick so far!

GAP 300 WM in a molded in GAP Camo A5 with metal in OD Green Cerakote.

GAP Surgeon 308 in GAP Camo painted Manners MCS-T with metal in OD Green Cerakote.

Gap sure does know how to build a rifle. Very nice. I guess OD cant look too terrible on woodland, I guess I'll stop being a puss and find out for myself. Hopefully Triad can come up with a few Thruster's tomorrow.

Dude, don't diss the pink.....this is Superseal110's wife and she shoot's her pink rifle better than half the members here.....and her rifle is a 223AI.

At 600yds

Her pink rifle is in the mix

Re: McMillan forest stocks: need action color help

Maybe if my 3 week old plays her cards right, I'll get her a rifle like that in 10 years!

Re: McMillan forest stocks: need action color help

I was going to wait for a range day to post up pictures but Northern Virginia thinks it's Alaska right now, and no let up on the snow anytime soon. So here it is in the kitchen. It looks a little better in natural light.

Nothing wrong with trying a few different colors of krylon until you decide...

Budget build gone horribly wrong? Are you kidding?! I think it looks fantastic! I'm in wait mode right now as my Remington 700 SPS Tactical has been sent off to the gunsmith for a complete overhaul and I've been mulling over which McMillan stock to go with, more specifically which camo pattern. Your build has me convinced Forest Camo is a great option. I plan to do the Duracoat the action and barrel ( I do that on the side as a hobby for people ) and I'm thinking of either Tactical Desert Brown or OD Green. Great job on your build!
