I got rained out on my morning hunt so I rushed back to the shop to see if I could finish up the stock and scope, I did.:) The stock is curing for the night and will receive three more coats of matt clear. I lifted the stencils here and there to give a haze effect here and there since I don't want to many sharp lines out in the wood's and I think this camo will work great for winter hunt's also, even left some paint spatter dot's for effect. Remember if you decide to do a camo job on your hunting shooter, don't worry about fine detail's or some over spray here and there, I do it on purpose since camo is made to be seen from a distance and blend into Ma Nature. Three day's for a complete cure then back together and ready to rumble. Oh I left the rubber eyepiece untouched, don't want the rubber to get hard do to paint.:) Ed

Thanks again guy's and I'll get some pic's up when it's wrapped around the action again.:) Funny you mentioned that Tim, bump and paint I also did that with my dad in his shop years ago. I did custom work on car's, boats you name it I probably threw paint at just about anything that it would stick to one time or another hehehe. I even got into shooting color on RC cars for hobby shops at one time. It all worked out since I love hunting with airguns and shooting camo on em.:) Ed
