Re: Lets see some of those McMillan marble colors
They ain't great pictures, but maybe you can tell a little from them. Rem. Classic in 50% Olive, 25% Black, 25% Light Tan. The rifle (LVSF .308) has since been Cerakoted in Graphite Black and the scheme looks really good with the black metal.

Shane,
The Tan/Grey/Black may the best combo I've seen with black metal... Awesome!

Re: Lets see some of those McMillan marble colors
The original "Coyote Bomber" scheme of 50/25/25 Grey/Tan/Black inspired my mix. I just twisted the color ratios a little.
It is fairly easy on the eyes.

Re: Lets see some of those McMillan marble colors
Sorry for the dupe, got another thread with the same pic, but what the heck, here goes! Marble with 80% black, 20% OD green. The lighting makes it look a bit tan.

Look at the post titled Pool Porn from Plano. It's the dessert Mcmillan had on their .50 BMG.

Jed, how does the fixed, instead of adjustable, comb fit you? I like the OD color, really nice looking rifle.

Re: Lets see some of those McMillan marble colors
John, how do you like your adjustable comb? Have you had any trouble with the screws stripping or coming loose? I have the saddle style on my A-5 and have had trouble with it doing the above. I like the look of Terry Cross's adj. comb.

Re: Lets see some of those McMillan marble colors
Yo Buzzsaw... My stock has the saddle comb like yours (coloured much like John's) and same probs as yours with recoil shaking it lose... I put a flat washer and a lock washer behind the tighting screw (knob) and it fixed the problem

Re: Lets see some of those McMillan marble colors
Anyone do a snow camo type marble pattern? I was thinking 70% white, but am having trouble with my fill colors. I was thinking 15% grey, and then possibly 15% black or 15% tan.
Any suggestions?

Ive had some issues with the screws loosening. I like the saddle better. And I should send this to Terry and get his mod put on it.

White/dark grey/light grey works pretty well. 70/15/15 or 60/20/20...

Re: Lets see some of those McMillan marble colors
Great bag. I have only taken it on one small range trip but it is build like a tank and has a perfect balance for the 20" rifle. A lot of detail improvements over the earlier bags, sorry for the limited info but the crooks are keeping me busy at the moment.
