Jamieb is NOT kidding around!!!

Longrangehunter, is that tape? Been toying with painting mine myself. Form follows function for me so I'm not afraid of painting it, just gotta find out what to use that won't rub off too quickly.

If your going to use paint then use Krylo Fusion. I camoed the 22-250 thats pictured above about 4 years ago, it's held up great, way better then I thought it would. I dont baby rifles by any stretch.

I have always run bushmasters for calling. 2 years ago I switched to a r-25 in 7mm-08 for a little more knock down and love it. I have been thinking about getting another one because I LOVE MINE SO MUCH :IBCOOL: I use to run a bolt when I first started but after a few years I really started liking the ar advantage. I also pack a shotgun 90% of the time on all my stands. I have shot a lot of yotes with a shotgun.

Savage stevens in .223 using lightweight otm rounds. 3-9 buckmaster on top. Didn't seem worth it to shell out all the extra for BDC and camo otherwise woulda got the predator model.

got the stevens 223 also with just the cheap 3-9 scope it came with its a good shooter im shooting the honady v max bullets loaded withe varget. looking for anew scope though something with turrets and would love a thumb hole stock but cant find one anywere.


Try Boyds Stocks or STOCKYSSTOCKS, they will have what you need.

Remington R-15 .223 with a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50.
"One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted..If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job."

The reason I got the .243 was just in case your calling, and something comes in that you have a tag for but need the larger caliber to be legal.  I call in units and areas with lots of timber.  Not alot of open land where I live.
