Need your help, McMillan colour Marble Finishes

[comagutsa]

Hi Guys and Girls i need your help
I have a new 6BRX in build and will be using a McMillan F class stock with marble finish
but i'm having trouble deciding what colours to get
now i have been looking at pics but none say what colours have been used on them and would only be guessing on some as to what has been used
could you people please post up some pics of your McMillan stocks and write down what colours have been used so i can make my mind up on what looks good
thanks for your help

If you'll go to the Precision Rifle Blog, you can click on 200+ photos of color combinations.

Or narrow it down somewhat to what colors you're interested in.

A couple things to keep in mind when ordering a McMillan swirl.

Whichever color you list first will be the predominant color.

So, if you order a Black and White 50/50, and your buddy orders a White and Black 50/50, thinking you'll get the same thing, yours will be darker than his.

The same goes for any combination. Order a Red & Blue 50/50, and you'll see what you think is more red than blue. Reverse it on the order form though, and that "same 50/50" color combination will appear much more blue.

And..... always remember it is a very imprecise process. You may absolutely love a certain blue/chartreuse/magenta stock, and order the exact same ratios in the same order, but get something looking nothing like the stock you had in mind. Sometimes it works in your favor, sometimes not.

Talking to the head lady in the office,forgot her name,but she has worked there for a long time,told me some combinations that impressed her. A suggestion she gave me was 75% black and 25% orange. I did it and am impressed. Also their red actually was a orange/red and now is supposedly red . In short ask them for suggestions as they deal with them every day.They can suggest but YOU make the choice.
