The subtle touch-or perhaps the caress of the two components- of trigger matching the rear sling stud speaks of artistic genius. I'm sure it will only be a short time until Echols and other masters acknowledge such and copy.

Oh, my God!..Don't encourage him! Well my first thought was: Congratulations? Then the special qualities of the project became evident and if I couldn't say something original, I decided to make something up.

Looks like Clown Camo to me...now that I got my sunglasses on.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

BS might be on to something. Bears will never associate that thing with a gun until it's too late.

You should have used the tape to tape off parts of the rifle before paint

Bad 70's graffiti is what came to mind after seeing it.
Or one of those clown pattern minnowbaits that I use for night fishing walleyes in the tailrace.
No matter what you it reminds you of....it's ugly. I prefer the fl green better myself.
More importantly, what are the calibers? I have a can a spray paint, figure I could make either of them a little more palatable. Might as well get a cartridge/caliber I like, then fix the aesthetics.
If I lived in Alaska, I would probably want some colorful rifles also. The lack of real daylight would suck. I imagine this is the time of year when people start going a little cabin feverish.

You were going for over the top ugly and to get everyone's hackles raised. Mission accomplished As for me, I could care less what color you paint your rifles. All good entertainment IMO.
What are the calibers? That is where the inner beauty lies. (smilin)

I was going for subtle elegance,though feel things are perhaps a mite too subdued...but I'm not afeared to try again.

At last, the mystery of what Kimber does with rifle returns that don�t shoot! They send them off for a paint job.
