It's a Mcmillan mcswirly stock on my Ruger MKII 7x57.
I'm keeping the original walnut stock,but wanted a little more weather resistance.
I ordered this thing October 22,and got it Feb. 16
I think it's beautiful,it's already grown on me.

Ummmm, no I'm not peeing in my gas tank :)
It'll clash with your camo, and the deer will see you a mile away.
Personally, I'm more in to wood stocks and grips. However, being more resistant to inclement weather is a real plus, and I would think it's a little more rugged than wood as far as dents and scratches go. How much lighter is it tan the walnut stock?

What's the logic behind the color? Deer are mostly (but not completely) color-blind so it's probably not an issue, I'm just curious why you chose the mottled blue over a more typical black or camo color.
As for wood vs. composite, the latter has a lot to recommend it. Less likely for your zero to change due to changes in humidity, for one thing.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Ha!,
I just wanted to be different Carl. It's actually supposed to be 50% blue,25% red,and 25% white.
I' was hoping for a patriotic kinda thing.
Although it didn't work out quite that way,I still like it.

Good enough for me! I wasn't questioning your decision, just wondering how you came by it.

I like the so-called 'black rifles' because there's absolutely nothing ornate on them, and you don't have to worry about scratching or gouging a wooden stock, rusting a blued finish after getting caught in a rain storm or dropped in a creek, etc. They just work.
That said, Mike's new furniture looks like it's well suited for its role in the field.

It's beautiful! What's the stock made of? I read "composite" up there, but dunno what that means, really.
The only rifle I had 'way back when was that Remington semi-auto 22 with a fiberglass stock. It was a honey -- only ever used it for target practice.
If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
I must be old fashioned, and love the wood stock on my M1 US Carbine .30, lovely restored it and treated it to auto lacquer.
Waterproof, and the wood really came out beautifull, but i only use it on the 100 meter indoor range, so moist is no problem.
I see the practicallity of the new stock if the rifle is used outdoors, but the colour scheme is hurting my eyes ;)
What matters is you are happy with it.
Happy hunting ;)

It's fiberglass mixed with micro balloons to lighten it up some.
I also have 3 AR-15's Fred,2 in 5.56,and one in 6.8 SPC.
Most of my other rifles are walnut,and steel,this is my first psycadillic one.
