I thought the grey would be a little darker, but I'm happy with it...Now to give it a test drive. I've got about 8 different bullets to run in it...

Looks really good. Next on my "to get list" is a stainless XCR in 338wm.
I was also going to go with a "greenish" color of stock. Let us know how it shoots.
 
I'm not sure I like the colour mix but any McMillan stock is a good stock. I have three myself, one swirly and two camo.

I was expecting the grey to be a charcoal colour, but I would call it medium grey myself. Hard to envision how things will turn out from a 1/2" coloured square on their site...At any rate it was the custom fit and feel I was after, and when you pick this one up and hold it, everything comes together...:)

I was going to knock the barrel down a few inches, but may leave it as is...

Mike, if they still have any, try Lebaron. Great prices on these right now...

So I after getting this together, I was getting the urge to build a custom .338-06 again...Began parting this one out, sold the stock and was getting around to selling the barreled action.

I had bought another McMillan with the intention of using it for my build, but decided to slide the XCR into it for a range session. Now I'm not sure if a build would give me any better results than this one?? Might just have to keep it!:D

Beautifully executed rifle!

Too bad about those "patterns" it shoots. You should immediately sell it to me cheap because of the lousy groups. :D
