Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

I’ve been working on my stock by adding epoxy putty to increase grip/reduce length to trigger. I’m at 1.75ish depending on where you measure. I used this putty that ACE hardware sells. It’s fantastic. But you have to work fast as it’s hard as a rock in about 3-4 minutes. However you can rasp/file/sand in about 20 minutes. I then put a coat of Marine Tex over it.

What did you do to get that texture thanks
 
We’re trying to get as much inventory out before the hurricane hits on Wednesday so here’s some specials we’re running.
In stock Carbon blank barrels $599
In stock Carbon pre fit barrels $749
In stock steel barrels $300

Any carbon stock in stock $350 (you will have to call to place the order to get that pricing)


Call if you want something you don’t see listed in stock. We will go through the shelves and see if we can find it.
Is there any chance at still getting this deal on a carbon Tikka VG?
 
What’s the best way to add some grip on these without adding mass/circumference?

Can you stipple (either heat iron or a dremel bit) the carbon? I assume that’s a no no…. Is the only option a marine Tex coating type?

I have already sponge painted and clear coated the stock, that helped a little but it’s still slick.

I used a 'Granite effect' spray paint, then overcoated with regular spray paint, then three coats of matt clear coat. Have a look through my posts to see if you can find it - if not, let me know and I'll track it down. Post shows texture and steps of process.

Still selling the stocks for $350 if we call in?
 
Here’s a comparison of an untouched VG and one with about 1/4+” of steel epoxy and epoxy texture. I have decent sized mitts but these grips are stupid long. Modified, it feels about perfect.

Also added some texture to the forearm. These sticks seem to be a great value at $400 if you’re willing to put some work in. The overall shape feels excellent and the Tikka versions inletting looks really good. IMG_2607.jpegIMG_2604.jpeg
