Title: Where to get a stock dipped in optifade camo?
Post by: buglebuster 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!

Shoot straight.

:dunno:

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.
