There is an excellent example from THibben on this thread.

Not specific to camo, but there are a lot of camo guns in this thread.

I've been suffering from B.B.R.D (basic black rifle disease) for too many years, and recently decided to rattle can my Savage 12 LRP. After watching way too many Youtube video's and searching the web I came to one conclusion and found one unique worthwhile tip.
1. There are so many different patterns, colors, and methods to paint your rifle that your head may explode trying to sort through them all! Personally I am partial to the GaP style pattern, which is a modified woodland. Although Multicam works well; if done poorly it just looks like multi-colored splooge rather than multi-cam.
For making stencils use wax paper sanwiched between blue painters tape (two mirror image stencils for half the work) and messing around in MS paint can yield some cool shapes.
Alas my work in progress:
Krylon on a Savage 22 ... came OK for my first time!
Poor Mans Digital
Here's a few of my recent paint jobs. The two 22's together are a Savage Mark II for my sons and a Marlin for my wifes dad. The textured stone paint job is my savage FVSR Mark II. I made the stock myself. It was one of my first projects before I went into business doing stock work. I was going to camo it, and probably still will eventually, but I really like the way the stone and the black look together. The other two rifles are my poor mans digital sponge jobs. If you look close at the darker rifle on top, the stock slides apart so my six year old can shoot comfortably. I'm thinking of doing a post with pics to show how I did it for the dad's here.

I like this. I have the TR version myself and just painted it green after a failed camo job( the barrel and action are still black). I liked half of the rifle and not the other. Your camo patern breaks the rifle up nicely. Do you have any issues with the bipod leaving marks in your paint or impressions from tightening it down? I never noticed it in the factory black, but my bipod has a pretty good angle to it and tends to do this, maybe it's just easier for me to see now. Just wondering.
A couple of different patterns I have tried. It's been really helpful to be able to practice on a broken airsoft gun before doing the real thing.
Not the greatest pic, but here is a digital camo by shortbus... just read your post regarding spray paint can... see below on lower AR...
