It's pretty gaudy as far as camo stocks go(I'd be happy with just a single color and webbing) and I would have to do something to make it look a little different, but I think painting it would jack with the soft touch coating (not that that crap lasts anyway). On the last Norma, that stuff started peeling off at the but after the first shot. And she did weigh 6.5 pounds without scope, 7 lbs 2 oz with scope. Pretty friggin stout recoil.
