Where to get a stock dipped in optifade camo?
« on: June 23, 2014, 09:24:31 PM »
Have seen a few guns around with optifade stocks. Was wondering if anyone knew where I could get this done? Willing to ship a long ways if need be. Thanks!

Try Gorge Custom coatings or northwest hydro print

Northwest Hydroprint are nice folks to work with and do a quality job.  They are in Montesano.  You can get a price break for doing 2 or more guns so see if you can find a buddy to do his rifle, too.

Shoot straight.

You'll need to find someone licensed by Gore to dip in the Optifade camo pattern.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Northwest Hydroprint doesn't do Optifade.  They do all the Kryptec patters and military digital patterns (ACU, MARPAT, etc...) but they don't do Optifade.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Get ahold of Carp hes a dealer for NWhydro and usually gives a break. I went threw him/them for a .17 stock and it turned out great.
Anyone that thinks a Glock is better than a 1911 paints his toenails.

Yeah, that's ACU digital pattern.  Pretty close to optifade.  Depends on what you are trying to do.  If you are looking for a digital, light-sage pattern for camouflage, that should do the trick.
 
If you are trying to match your rifle to your jacket/pants/hat/handbag... it won't be quite the same... :dunno:

I was in the Army when we got the ACU digital pattern.  When we got it we said "What is this crap? We look like we are half downloaded on dial up..." 
They phased it in slowly, and I got the uniform before some of the rest of the unit.  We were training in Frenchman's Coulee out near Vantage and kept getting accused of "sneaking up" on people in the sage. 
A few months later we were doing building clearing training and I took some pictures.  When I developed them I was amazed at how well the pattern blended in with busted up concrete.   
It's good stuff.  IMO most standard hunting cammo patterns are too dark.  Neither ACU or Optifade have that problem.
