Did you do the paint job? Im looking at getting a wildcat made for my tikka project. Im going lightweight 6.5x55, no sling studs, barrel chopped to 20" and threaded with cap, no scope either- necg ghostring. Trying to plan and budget for the wildcat stock. Cant decide if I should paint it or get corlanes to.
Paint it yourself. It's not a difficult thing to do so long as you pay attention to properly cleaning and sanding the stock as you apply each additional layer of paint.
Read the first post. Milling of the action and such.
Ya I’d paint it yourself, easy to do if you’re on a budget.
Misery loves company here, My rifle is stuck in purgatory indefinitely now because canada post is on strike, its 3 provinces away and no end date for this strike. Hopefully all turns out well. Super interested in your build.
I'd rather not name him until I have the rifles in hand, but still waiting...
Dude thats crazy, I hope once theyre in hand you put them on blast!
It's frustrating. I wanted to support a guy that was local to me when I lived in CO, and I'm having to deal with the delay associated with it I guess. I could have sent them to Kampfeld and had them done in a matter of days it seems. Hopefully they are as accurate as all his other customs when I get them, if not, then there will be some hell to raise for sure.
