Would seem a lot easier to me to just send it to NW Hydrprint and have it dipped?  :dunno: it's not expensive and in less time you can have a professional looking pattern  :twocents:

No  :) but it's not expensive ... btw I didn't mean yours didn't look good because for a home paint job it's excellent. You just seemed to be looking for an upgraded improvement. IMO the next step up would be getting it professionally dipped   ;)

I'm sure that would look really good if I wanted to pay for it ,i just have a hard time paying for something that I can do myself.thank you for the comments I was thinking about hdro dipping it my self but cold weather might affect it.

I don't know what that means but if you're refering to the patern, it was a random rope and tape job with predator camo colors in mind. Looks great in the woods. Better than trying to blend in with a big black stick I guess.

Sorry

It reminded me of the way they painted the FN-FAL'S  and G3's during the Bush War late 60's 70's

I paint almost everyone of my rifle stocks.  Not sure why but I guess it is to have something a little different than factory rifle.  This is the last one I did on my first savage build.  Also did the marine tex texture on it.  I now have the 5 year old help me with the sponge painting so it is a good father daughter time.

If you are on predator masters or join up there is a few really great write up's on there. I use the sponge technique a lot and have had excellent results.
