Agreed! Here's T3 hunter in 260 I did recently. Sanded off all the Euro-look lines and rattled out my own camo design. It shoots.

Some good looking stuff here, I'm gonna give it a try. Assuming you keep the webbing out of the barrel channel? Probably spray one coat of the base color in there to make it match, then try not to build it too much so it doesn't start getting tight.

just kidding. I love it. Haha. I am not sure I love it, but it is functional and some sandpaper and paint away from being different. It came with wood which I took off. I had an original plastic stock off my T3 lite (now wearing B&C Medalist), so I experimented. My wife is artsy-fartsy and she said it was cool. Ingwe is only fartsy, but he commented favorably as well! I like the webbing look and have it on several rifles. Wanted something different on this one. It's different!

Do you sand off the checkering before painting? I've got a factory Hawkeye stock that's a bit rough looking, but not sure how the paint and webbing would look applied over the checkering. Can't quite see in the pics how you guys handled that.

I've done them 2 ways. Paint and web over the checkering. Masked off the checkering...

Earlier this eyar I bought a Savage 110 in .243 from a fellow fire member. Stock was done in exactly the same paint and color. I kind of dig it and though it is the cheapo factory stock it grouped well. I added pillars and will finish bedding in the week or so, but will likely keep the stock the same or do something like this or this

Guys, I like a lot of these paint jobs very much. I have a good rifle whose stock would lose to a fence post in a good-looking contest. Would someone give ne a step-by-step how-to or the link to it if already posted? The "search" function here can't even find itself at least with me driving it. It'd be much appreciated. And thanks.
