I am dropping off my Kimber Varmint, at the gunsmith tomorrow, to have a Wildcat stock and the metal Cerakoted. As this is my coyote rifle, I was thinking of coyote tan, for the cerakote, and a similar muted color for the synthetic stock, olive?
Any thoughts?

Lots of coyote in Alberta huh? I seen a chit load last winter!
Im a fan of the black webbing sprayed over OD,Gray,or even tan. If you get a nic or scratch on your stock it's easy to touch up w/black paint because it blends with the webbing versus a solid color. IMO

Ever tried to get webbing paint in Canada, or even some parts of the States? Not a bad idea, but for whatever reason, it is hard to lay hands on the stuff. Couldn't find it in Montana even.

Send your stock to Eddie or Karl. It may take a little longer than expected, but well worth the time.
You can purchase it at Fabric craft stores. Even check Canadian tire. Maybe someone from the states can buy a can & send it to ya. Pm me if you need help.
Whats duty on $10 bucks? Lol

Clown camo... Hey AB2506, If you don't mind me asking, who is doing your Cerakote? I have a 243 that I'm getting set up for next winter... Probably matte black metal with horse wrap as required and a light tan stock, eventually.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

Any thoughts? You guys do get snow.. I'd go with a Basic white/black stripe stock. Bell And Carlson stock that they painted for me. Rifle is a 22 BR.
