    I have been working through getting my Blackops Perseus all painted up by Shortbus and I just got back the USO Optic in Multicam too. He did a great job on this stock and optic as they just fit well together. I will take it out this weekend in the sunlight to get a better pic and the colors will pop a lot better. I just wanted to get it up and show it off some of Shortbus's talent.

    Now it really looks good. </div></div> I will bring it out on Sunday for shooting if you want to cheak it out. I need to re-zero the optic anyways. I am definitely digging the painting and Shortbus has me hooked.

    No doubt it will be awesome, I'm looking forward to it.

    I have a PERSEUS on order, every time I see this one it makes waiting easier and harder at the same time.
     
    Re: Shortbus Express Painting Extravaganza

    Looks like another beauty by Shortbus. How come the bolt handle is on the wrong side?

    Looks extra pro. Needs more light on it though. Post up another pic next time she's outside so we can see it better.
     
    Re: Shortbus Express Painting Extravaganza

    You could trade me your pretty painted one for an unpainted KUKRI.
     
    Re: Shortbus Express Painting Extravaganza

    I promised better pics when it got sunny and today is the day.
