mistem - really nice paint job. Did you use both black and white web paint for it? Krylon? Certainly changes the look from the basic green stock. BTW - wish more firms would make green stocks instead of black. Homesteader

Looks like silver webbing to me. I agree it does greatly change it for the better over the factory look.

mistem,
Nice job on the paint!
A couple months ago, down at the FTW Ranch in Texas, a companion was shooting one of those with 140-grain A-Max Hornady ammo. It shot very well, in fact just as well as the Ruger Target rifle I was shooting with the same ammo. Or at least we couldn't tell any difference, even out at 1000 yards.
