    Painting a stock - Krylon says not clear coat????

    I don’t know the inside info here, but will accept it as the highest compliment. Having owned a manufacturing business for 25 years with multiple 30x30 paint booths, you do learn a thing or two ha ha. I have one more rifle, I am THINKING about doing soon. I was searching for paint to...

    Painting a stock - Krylon says not clear coat????

    Thanks for the responses. Getting the colors to mesh took some trial and error on buckets, but a light dusting with the antique bronze followed by desert sand really made it pop. Truly better in person. I keep getting it out of the safe to look again.

    Painting a stock - Krylon says not clear coat????

    I spent a few hours sanding down a manners stock to repaint. Currently, I have a killer paint job on it (I am bias). I called Krylon today to see how long I should wait until applying either a flat, satin or gloss clear coat. They said Krylon Fusion (which is what I used) is not designed...

    Need mounting advise: SAKO Finlight

    Got some help on another forum. If any one sees this in the future, Near Mfg makes a great rail to go on the Sako. Talked to the owner. He called 2 minutes after I sent him an email and one is on the way.

    Has anyone tried the ACTAR 4-16x50. I think it only comes in the second focal. I moved this to a new thread as opposed to adding to one of my others.

    Your thoughts on which Nightforce ?

    Okay, here is where I am with this. I continue to really like the NXS when compared to the others. All great products, but th NXS is being discontinued soon and already hard to find. I have the other three in hand. I am going to go with the NX8 4-32 x 50. Here is why. It is very...

    Your thoughts on which Nightforce ?

    Great question JFK. Two reasons. 1. A client/customer has already had all 3 delivered to my house said keep them all or keep one and return the other two to him. 2. For decades I used other brands and decided to take the Nightforce leap 18 months ago. I loved the NXS. So staying with...
