I think that it’s “cool”! Certainly personalizes your rifle! I’m glad that most approve of “your” customization! However, I also knew that some arse would make disparaging remarks.....also, suspected who that would be! memtb The title was: "Cool or not". Do you think everyone must agree with you? Or that only your opinion is the right one? Or perhaps you think only those who share your opinion should reply? WTF is wrong with you? A little sensitive there “cupcake”! Feeling a bit guilty? Actually, it wasn’t you I was referring to......but, if the ballerina slipper fits! 😉 memtb Lmao

I think it is a cool way to customize your rifle. Not something I would do personally, but it looks nice and adds a little bling.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

I think I would prefer it in the pistol grip cap, but other than that, I think it is pretty cool.

I think it’s a pretty neat way to go. Makes it harder to inadvertently mix up bolts. 😊

As many have said, it's reminiscent of the old Remington pump rifles. You did excellent work. I like it. What twist on your .260?

Not that my opinion matters at all, I think it is great if you like it, who cares about what others think when it comes to the appearance of guns unless you are marketing them. I think it is much classier that putting pool ball size (ala Tacticool) knobs on hunting guns.
Just my two cents, wade

Would look even better if you painted it in clown colors, stuck a couple Jolly Roger stickers on it and submerged it in a creek till it was speckled with rust. Then throw it on a rock pile a few times so it actually looks like you've hunted it hard, rather than just pluggin a few critters out the window of your truck with a spotlight. Hell yeah man, then post pictures of it here and you too can be a genuine internet BADASS !!!!!!

Or that only your opinion is the right one? Or perhaps you think only those who share your opinion should reply? WTF is wrong with you? Checking to see what the general consensus is. There is 1000s of accumulative years of gun experience here. If 60% said it sucked I probably wouldn't do it again. The idea is to have desirable things. Otherwise you end up like Stick with a bunch of custom garbage that is only valuable to you. I take that approach with all my things. That's why I sell things and don't loose money. If people don't like it, I really do wana know. Just not Stick...😃 Does it look cool? I think it looks pretty cool and you did a nice job. However, since you brought it up from the angle of resale and not wanting to lose money...I would personally pay less for that then if it were unmodified. Others may see it otherwise.

I guess it's okay, I mean if you didn't have any yellow tape to wrap around it.
