Here is my Remmy in 308, just finished the paint job, definately a tedious process but very rewarding. I also had the 20" barrel cut down to 18" and threaded for a muzzle brake. AWC thundertrap in the works. Let me know what you guys think.

It's a Millett LRS, didn't realize that the scope was that big but i'm using it temporarily anyways. Just ordered a can so now i'm saving up for a Night force.

I am not sure, I don't have a scale but she doesn't feel too heavy.

I originally did this to just test out the stencils and was going to use Duracoat but it came out pretty good so I guess I will use Duracoat on my next project.

Re: New project digital paint job and muzzle brake.
if you took the sunshade off it might not be so intense. I think the scope is WAAYY to long!
Otherwise, nice paint job and looks like your headed in the right direction

Re: New project digital paint job and muzzle brake.
Great looking rifle and paint job. Very clean all around.
How long is that sunshade anyway? I guess the only time you have to worry about sun glare is when you're aiming directly at it, eh?

Re: New project digital paint job and muzzle brake.
Nice work and nice clean work bench.
Please give us some specifics on the making of the stencils.
Your sunshade is too long, but the scope looks fine. Let us know how it shoots. I have a GAP 308 with a 20inch barrel and I loaded 155 scenars at 2800 and it shot really well (1/4 inch at a 100 and made hits on steel at a 1000). You do lose some velocity but you can punch up the 155s pretty good.
Thanks for sharing

Re: New project digital paint job and muzzle brake.
I agree that the sunshade is a bit long, but overall the gun looks great! I have tried to do that same camo pattern using the rubber cabinet pads you buy from walmart that have the small squares cut out. It came out pretty good, not near as good as yours.

Re: New project digital paint job and muzzle brake.
Very nice rifle let us know how well it shoots. I have a .308 VTR with a 20 inch barrel that shoots sub moa , so I'm interested how yours performs.

I used blue painters tape and wax paper, used grid paper as an outline so I an get perfect squares. Then just cut out random patterns and just arranged to my liking. It sounds easy but wait till you hand cut around 50 different patterns and you'll see what I mean by tedious work!

Re: New project digital paint job and muzzle brake.
I agree with the other guys about the sunshade, pull that sucker off of there and I think I'll look fine. But as far as the camo goes, its pretty nice man, give your self a good tappy tappy on the back!

Re: New project digital paint job and muzzle brake.
what is with everyone saying the Sunshade is TOO LONG? it may LOOK too long in relation to the whole set up...is that what everyone is talking about? Is this just a aesthetic observation? or is there some sort of functional logic here? of course, you want your set up as small, yet functional as you can in a duty weapon, but I dont see the logic in saying it is too long...sounds like a personal preference. not being a dick, just a curiosity question.

Re: New project digital paint job and muzzle brake
Thanks for all the kind words, this project has been very rewarding. The only thing i'm saving for is a Nightforce and she will be complete.

Re: New project digital paint job and muzzle brake
Marvelous shorty rifle Man, cool paint job
I'd love to guet one rifle shorten like that, easy to put it between the seats in my pickup for night hunts
)
as everyones saids, the glass is bit to long but anyway as long as it is not longer than the rifle it does'nt take more space.
good job

Thank you much for the compliments, spent a lot of time on the paint but most importantly she shoots tight groups! I just put the shade on for the pic, check my signiture for the pic without the shade.
