Well I let the stock cure up yesterday and all night in my 80deg spray booth and today it was ready, kicked up the heat in there to cure it quicker hehe. I spent the last hour slipping the action back into her new coat of color, she loves it.:) Mounted the scope and sighted her back in which was maby a click  at 30yrds, she's ready to hunt if I can get a break in the rain here.:( Some pics of the completed project, I'm liking it.:) Ed

Thanks Dan, Craig no problem I can do that buddy.:0 How's this sound just cover shipping and if you got a outdoor store in your area throw in a tin of .22 Predator's if they carry em. No biggie if they don't and here's the shades of pink that I would use for her camo and if she wanted I would add those really cool black jagged strips to finish it off. The pattern would be my design I just used this pic to give her a idea of colors.:) Ed

When this wet stuff stop's falling from the sky.:( She was ready today and the sun broke out........for about twenty minutes and left me standing at the window thinking about all the harvest out there with a free day from me lol. Look's like this will last until the weekday but I'm watching the weather channel radar like a hawk.:) Ed

Geez, I love that camo pattern. The raked back angles are what make it so cool, kinda racy. Beautiful job!
