Darren,
out of curiosity, how many ounces dies a complete duracoat job add to the typical stripped stock?
Didn't know if you've ever checked that for knowledge sake
Wanted to compare to my results hacking it out here.
I have not actually weighed it. As far as volume is concerned, I use slightly more than 3 tablespoons of paint for a typical job. If that was water, that would equate to 1.5 ounces. The paint is slightly heavier, but I know I lose some in overspray, so I would guess the added weight is about that- 1.5 ounces I have wondered about this before. So I weighed the Ti stock you just did for me. It weighed 23.35 ozs before your paint, it now weighs 23.55 ozs so hardly any difference at all. The KS stock you did for my .280 weighs about 3/4 oz more, but that might also be due to what Master Class Stocks did to it since they added some bedding/pillars?? So it really doesn't do much at all.

It is nearly a perfect match for the factory Kimber Montana gray

It is nearly a perfect match for the factory Kimber Montana gray Looking at it that was my first impression. I've only seen photos of Gray Wolf and based on the photos, it too looks like a close match to the Kimber Gray. Apparently I'm the only one that likes Kimber Gray...

Just got this one from Darren yesterday, he did an awesome job on this one. Basically a GAP Flecktarn pattern and he added some texture to it as well. Feels really nice, should be great when I'm hunting in the rain. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r489/oregonmuley/AO%207MM-08%20Build/005.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r489/oregonmuley/AO%207MM-08%20Build/006.jpg)
