Yep. You read that correctly. Looking for some ideas and sources for Pink Tikka stock for my daughter. . A T3X. I also have a 2nd rifle a Remington 700 SA with internal box mag as a 2nd platform if I can’t find a Tikka. Thanks.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I used the sponges to do the manners style pattern on a black tikka stock for my wife. Used dark and light purple. It turned out great, and it's not "too much". Cheap, easy, looks good.

Have you asked her if she wants a pink stock? I offered to buy my daughter one when she was young, she said yuck. Glad I didn’t buy it as a surprise like I was going to.

Or do what I did: https://www.mossyoakgraphics.com/rifle-wrap-mossy-oak-camo-skin these wraps come in 2 pink camo varieties. The break-up pink looks good and mine has killed a bunch of deer.....

Here's a thread I had from last fall, showing some I painted and outlining the process somewhat. If you scroll down, you can see the two I did for my girls. One was blue and one was burgundy. Both are still holding up well. Krylon stocks with webbing
Now with even more aplomb

We DID have to put a pink web sling on it though. She wanted walnut and blues because it would match her eyes and hair. My jaw fell open but I had the sense to close it without saying anything. Member Johnboy paints stocks. Might check with him.
Some people are educated beyond their intelligence.

Krylon will get the job done and wear very well. Johnboy does spray paint with the web pattern. I do Duracoat with about any color and pattern you want. Doing it yourself is easy and sponge is an easy way to go. If you do, roll the sponge from one side to the other, just putting the sponge against the stock and pushing will give a smear. As long as the spray paint isn't fully dry brake cleaner will take it off without hurting a Tikka stock. If you want to do something subtle put just a touch of pink spray paint in with a lot of black, just enough to get a slight tinted of pink and sponge it on...it'll give you a ghosted type appearance. It doesn't take much to make the black change color so add a bit and try then lighten more if needed. Try the whole process on cardboard first to get it down then the stock. If you need some help drop me a PM.
