Thank you for the kind words Gentlemen.

With Butch's permission, I will post a photo of the rifle when I'm done. He has a very interesting project in mind.

You can paint your stock yourself to suit your needs for the area you'll be hunting. I bought the Aluma-hide paints from Brownells and will be doing a couple of mine when it warms up this year!

Damn RC, That looks like the stuff shotgun guys put on their pop guns.

Don't want to let the cat out of the bag...but CAS is also one VERY accomplished woodturner

Cas do you build stocks? I did not see it quoted on your site. The pic's look very nice! If you do what is the going rate?

It may be. I'll have to do some checking

I have carved a few walnut stocks, but certainly not anything I would feel comfortable charging money for. If I want a nice walnut stock, a blank and a check go to Duane.

Duane is talking about these:





Don't worry Duane, I know I still owe you one. I finally got the wood on this side of the pond and it is probably dry enough to start turning soon.

RC,
I like to stick the pin in you a little.

It's OK! Better have a sharp pin, my skin is tough!

Seriously, some of the stocks I've seen painted by the owners of the gun/bow (I've camo'd my own bow) look great. You can tailor the camo to what you like and where/time of year you'll be hunting. It's personally satisfying too!

Some of the guys who shoot the Sporting Rifle Match have done their target guns and they really look awsome.

I really like the "prarie ghost", Mossy Oak "Brush", or Cabela's "Open Country" camos and will be doing that on a couple of my rifles. Planning on using some sage brush as a stencil.

Along with the link to Varmint Al's page (and its link), I've found others on other forums who've posted instructions and have done fabulous jobs on their rifles. The Aluma-Hyde paint seems to be the stuff to use for durability and the paint color choices are great. It's epoxy based paint.

I like Al's comment that if you scratch it or need to re-do it for any reason, it's a snap.


The designs on the rifles pictured above are really easy and basic; you can do it yourself and get more detailed.
