Always try to give credit where it is due, and this is no exception...

Would like to give a big "Thank You" to Mr. Todd Jackson for making time to show my ST-10 a little love! I couldn't be happier with that way it turned out. Todd is great to deal with and was excellent when it came to communication (we had plenty of emails back-and-forth). I have also recently sent down a couple 10rd mags from .308 and have no doubt those will turn out just as perfect. Sorry, Todd, but I just might be sending everything I've got your way! LOL!

Also, a special thanks to my fellow Hiders for being so helpful and always pointing me in the right direction!

Thanks again,

John Messina

That looks great. What is the scope painted with and how durable is it? Did he have to bake the finish?

Thanks

If your smart you do not bake your optics.

That is what I have heard from several paint shops. They have also suggested not painting optics since not be able to bake them impacts the durability of the epoxy type finishes. I painted my scope with some Alumahide, which ever one is the no bake, and it did not hold up as well as I would have liked.

If there is a way to get it painted with a pretty durable finish? I would love to know.
 
I paint my scopes with Cerakote, the air dry version. This stuff is so durable I even paint my rifles with it for the ease of application.
