I have a Richard's Microfit Thumbhole Benchrest in Royal Camo that I just can't get used to, so I am thinking about selling it. It came with a heavy barrel MK2 in .22LR with rifle basix trigger and BSA 8-32 scope. I'm looking to un-benchrest it or sell it all. I'm looking at an SS EVO or a Rimfire Hunter. What color do you like in these two styles with a blued barel?

The pepper laminate always looks classy to me.

I like the brown laminate too. I picked up a Savage MkII with a brown thumbhole stock today.

I have a brown laminate now, and was thinking a matching SS EVO for an FV-Sr with the shorter barrel, and the BV stock for the .17hm2 with the 21" barrel, unless I decide to cut it down.

I tried a red one, for a Rem 700 varmint rifle I had, and it looked washed out, almost pink. I think its more the way it was finished though. I was expecting a much brighter, more vivid color. I suspect the blue would be the same way. The nutmeg is very nice, and the pepper is good too.

I have seen blue stocks and Jacranda also that I thought would look horrible but on the right Rifle it looks great.

About to order a Feather Weight Thumbhole and can't decide on Forest Camo or Pepper....

The Royal Jackaranda on my Mark II BRJ is awesome.

I really like this one too, I can't remember what it is called, but Boyds makes the same color.
