So I ordered a carbon McMillan Game Warden for my Tikka CTR today. I have it ordered in Sonoran transition right now but I’m thinking of changing it to desert transition. Anyone have one on these colors? Which would you choose?

They all look nice. The Desert Transition caught my eye most of those 3. I have a Game Warden on my CTR. Mine is the molded in Sonoran Ambush. Game Warden is a great stock for the CTR.

I prefer the Sondran one. I have a keen sense of style too.

Desert Transition for me. When I'm on the ground it's a sandy river bed. Other times I'm on the ground when the grass is dormant. But that's me, what's your area like?

Thanks for all the input! I had another color in mind when I called to order it, but didn’t realize they advise against most colors they offer on the carbon fiber stocks since the black carbon bleeds through.

This is going on a stainless barreled action so that’s why I was thinking the lighter desert color might be better.

Wow, those are nice! I went from a stock (HS Precision) over to a chassis, then back to the stock. I have small hands and thought the pistol grip would suit me better but the whole unit never felt right. Maybe I didn't give it enough time. Sure looked cool though.

This changes my answer...for SS I would go Desert because it has some grey which would match the SS better, IMO. If it was a black action/barrel I would go Dark Desert.

Sonoran, the darker the better. Im in the camp that personally thinks wood stock are art work not tools. I use tools, I look at art
