Sully,
Here are some better (but still not good) pics of the rifles. I'm posting these two stock as they are very similar & about what you are looking for (i think). I zoomed in so you can see the "black web" on the HS. You'll have to excuse the scuffs & dings as this one has been much used. This is an aftermarket HS (actually says HS on the pad). I don't remember the web being anymore pronounce (even when it was new). But I guess it could have worn through the years???
I have had several HS's & a couple B&C. I still have a few HS but only have one B&C currently. It is a "Rem TI" lightweight stock. It's a pretty decent stock. Kinda bulky around the grip & not as stiff as any my HS of the same size. Once, I had two identical "VS style" stocks at one time (HS & BC). The HS was hands down stiffer.
McMillians are nice but it is hard to spend as much as an entire rifle costs, on just a stock. For the value I think the HS is were its at (especially if you can catch them on sale at Midway). Were I see a Micky being good is when you start looking at options. Adding hardware & specialty peices the McM becomes a much more value.
I personally really like the "swirl" look. THe yellow black is my favorite one I have. I can post some others but if you not like this one you really wont like the others. All personal pref. Nut'n wrong with that (as long as your not making up excuses to hate 'em
You do realize the Mcm does have standard style camo also? Looks really good. It's not all swirls & blends...
Personally, if you can live with a laminate that's not a bad option. I'm sure it would be a good stock. The reason I like fiberglass synthetics (other than scratches & stiffness) is that when wood gets wet it swells & warps. That doesn't help accraccy.
