McMillan Swirl Pics and Ratios

[Heretoimproveforhunting]

I'm looking to purchase a new McMillan, but can't decide on color. I'm leaning towards their 'dark camo', but am also inclined to try my own swirl mix.

I've been trudging through the various threads where people are showing off their HTGs, A4s, A5s, etc., but it seems that in many cases the mix ratios aren't shared or the pictures have been stripped by photobucket or whatever. I've tried reaching out to some individuals as well for mix ratios, but since some threads are old I'm finding that some users are rather inactive.

I realize that to some their mix ratios are custom, and something that makes their rifle truly unique to them (and that's the way they prefer to keep it), but if there is anyone that's proud of what they've got and wouldn't mind posting a pic and passing along the ratio it would be most appreciated.

Perhaps others can come along and use this as a resource as well.

RAD camo. Need to ask for it, special camo pattern developed between R&D Precision and McMillan a couple of years ago. Keeps the colors in the vertical.

Top is 33% each dark tan, med tan, OD

Bottom is 33% each med tan, light tan, and OD

Bottom stock on a rifle

My McMillan A1-3 (photo courtesy of Stephen at Surgeon Rifles - thanks!)
The goal was to get the color scheme close to MARPAT Woodland only marbled, I think it worked out pretty well.

MARBLE: 40% MEDIUM TAN, 30% OLIVE 20% BLACK, 10% WOODLAND BEIGE


This is my first McMillan and they did an amazing job! </div></div>
