HS percision, to paint or not to paint?

[callen3615]

I have been trying to remove the green paint from my 700p stock, I got almost all of it off. I just did this out of boredom, all of 5 minutes.

So to paint?

This could be alot better btw, I just rushed through it. It still hasn't dried either.


Or not to paint?

I have that same dilemma with my 5R take off stock. I'm thinking OD with Devcon texturing at the forearm and palm area.

I like to change stuff, upgrade later. Its hard to sell painted scopes.


I think its pretty easy to take paint off a stock, a barreled action and scope? not so much.

I got tired of the entirely black kit. After painting it in a sponge-camo pattern, I decided it wasn't for me and went to the solid OD Green that same day.

Here it is all together.

I have painted my rifles before. I usually start with a pattern I like then change it acouple times because im way too anal about that kinda thing, then I give up and either strip it all or go with a solid color.


This was actually just tan for the last week then I watched shooter and was inspired. lol

Looks good but I still haven't seen it out shoot my inferior stevens yet

.... JK

(and for the haters it's an inside joke so relax)

But for real it looks good.

Good luck,
Merritt

Painting is an option.

Shooting is essential.

Yeah, well I think its more the inferior shooter than the inferior rifle.

But anyway, thanks.

I'm not so sure that's it. It may just be you haven't found the right hand load for your rifle yet.

Good luck pimp'n,

I really havent shot many handloads yet. I need to find out my chamber length so I can get my bullets seated correctly.

Right now im just loading all my rounds a 2.790. I havent tried to figure out the whole "seating just off the lands" thing yet.

I'm not so sure that's it. It may just be you haven't found the right hand load for your rifle yet.

Good luck pimp'n,
