Would you use talley lowes for a 42 shv or is the clearance too close? ThanksTalley rings medium height
Seems like a common theme being over weight... Still going to get one if I can ever find the Camo 30-06 in stock anywhereJust got one in 6.5PRC and alone the rifle weighs in at 6lbs6.75oz. that’s way off of the 6lb advertised weight. With talleys and a nightforce it’s at 8lb8oz
I’m in the middle of putting a bit of foam in the butt section and doing my own camo job, when I get done I’ll post a pic. Waiting on Talley rings and have a Nightforce to put on top .Seems like a common theme being over weight... Still going to get one if I can ever find the Camo 30-06 in stock anywhere
I thought really hard about going with the grey. Figured since it’s only February I’d hold out for the camo.I’m in the middle of putting a bit of foam in the butt section and doing my own camo job, when I get done I’ll post a pic. Waiting on Talley rings and have a Nightforce to put on top .
Stock painted, rings and optic mounted, and ready to shoot. Comes in at 8lbs6oz as pictured.
I disassembled the rifle and the butt pad off of the stock. Sanded down some of the rough spots on the stock then wiped it all down with acetone. After it was completely cleaned and free of any oils I taped off all the areas I didn’t want paint and then hung it off a screw from the butt section. I sprayed multiple coats of the base color(green ) and let each coat dry before applying the next. One last coat of green then before is dries I spray it with the black webbing paint, helps the webbing bond too the base color. After that has dried I then apply a few coats of flat clear. Let dry (cure ) for at least a week and it will hold up just fine. I’ve done multiple rifles this way and never get flaking or chipping.that stock looks great! How did you do it?
Try it on a 2x4 first to get the hang of the way that webbing paint sprays. It can glob up if you don’t get the sweeping motion down when you spray it.Thanks! I have the 110 long range hunter. The ugly version of your gun. But the stock is the same. I was planning on going the sponge route but that looks great. I’m going to give it a go. Well done!
