Spong Gap Tikka

[270quest]

My son for what ever reason has always loved the look of the stocks on Gunwerks Rifles - especially ones with orange. So I took his tikka 6.5 creed and gave him the sponge gap camo paint job - gunwerks on a budget! Lololol….came out pretty good - he likes it a lot.

Headed out today to shoot and get everything dialed back in. (Yes that’s a Leupold Scope) but he lives the eye relief and the view and for two season so far has found a way to stay zero’d)

when he wants a new scope - we will get him one.

Wow that looks nearly identical to one I did lol, I’ll post it up later.

Nice job my kids like to paint the stocks but mine are not of hunting age yet. It’s a good time for all of us.

Edit: I zoomed in and yours is much much better than mine

Interested as I was thinking of rattle-canning mine in a similar camo pattern. What was your process?

When I did the rattle can job on my stockys carbon I cleaned it off with acetone. I went and bought a couple of paint sponges from Lowes/HD, although you could probably order some on amazon too. Then I took the colors I wanted, sprayed them on a sheet of paper and dipped the sponges into the color then onto the stock. I let these dry for a day or so, then went on with a few coats of matte clear coat. Finally, I let it hang for a week or so to fully cure before putting it back together. Surprisingly both rattle can jobs I did this way have held up great.

I did try a rattle can job prior to these, and what I learned was that especially with the tikka stock you really need to douse it down with acetone to get all the oils and whatnot out of the stock. I also forgot to mention I masked off where the action sits and the trigger guard area. The acetone and letting it cure for a week really makes the difference in durability.

My daughter painted her 223. She’s happy with it so I’m happy with it.
