Hey guys. New to the forum here and just pick up my new Remington 700 .308 5R 20" stainless threaded yesterday. I'm gonna drop it in an A4 but cant decided on what color finish to get. I know it would look good in black but I'm wondering if you guys have any opinions/seen any other colors that really go good with a stainless barreled action. Thanks in advance!

Only you can decide what looks good to you.
I thought the stock that came on my 5R was a decent looking stock, I spray painted it any way (along with the barreled action)

Desert or some kind of tan scheme was something that caught my eye. Thanks for the input Matt.

Do you have a picture of it so I could get an idea of how it would look? Bc those are the 3 colors I am considering and about the same percentage of each. Thanks if you do.

Hard to go wrong with black, tan or a combination of the two. In the end, you will have to decide for yourself.

Haha no targets don't care but if this is something I'm putting money in I would like it to not look something that came out of a dog. Take pride in something you put together you know?

Get your action/barrel cerakoted to match what you like in a stock... or simply krylon it.

I do really like how that looks. That might just be my next project.
