My HS Precision olive with black webbing is being made. I should have it near the end of the month.I've got my trijicon mounted with stainless leupold dual dovetails. I think this rifle will be very nice when I'm done

I just bought a LTR 700 308 black rifle. I been thinking about going olive green with dark gray webbing.
QUESTION ?? After the base coat (olive) is the best way to web by using dipped tooth brush in the webbing (gray) and thumb flick it onto base coat ?
I'll take all the help I can get.

I finally found some webbing spray paint. I did my first rifle, and LTR compact 308. First I used Kylon drab green, then smoke spayed it from a distance with Kylon chulkboard color, this gave it the slightest of haze. Then came the black webbing. I test shot the same procedure green, smoke on a black piece of cardboard. It matched what I had done to the stock. I tested webbing at different distances on several sctions of the cardboard. Then did the stock. Man it came out super great ! Everyone that has a black stock gun wants me to do theirs ! Thanks to everyone on this post for ideas and examples ! I will be post finished rifle in the next couple days !

Looks good, but personally I don't like the color of your scope mounts/bases

Yeah, I couldn't decide between stainless or black. The talleys would have looked much better, but were too expensive for me right now. Figured the ring color wouldn't make too much different. The bases and rings are a slightly off color with almost a slight greenish tint

originally i found this stainless model 7 as a gunshop trade-in, it had a sloppy coat of oversprayed flat back that had ran in places, looked like hell. Stock is by MPI. liked the feel of the gun but it was ugly as a mud fence. no webbing spray around here, so i used a textured/granite finish, turned out i like the way it feels, and doesnt look as homely now to my eyeballs.

I like it, looks good, whose paint?
There is no accounting for taste.
Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.
Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however, Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

Stainless Sako 75 300 RUM in an olive McMillan stock: Interested in hearing more on the picattiny rail over the sako action, as have wondered about what may be possible. Did you have some of the crosshatched surface milled off first, or? Looks nice and tight in appearance.
