Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

[Dobermann]

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. View attachment 812753View attachment 812754

Great stuff! What materials were you using?

Great stuff! What materials were you using?

for the grip molding I used Ace hardware brand steel epoxy plumbers putty. I just roughed up the grip with 120 grit and couldn’t believe how well it bonded. Then over that, I taped off areas for the grip and forearm, and mixed 2 part steel epoxy and wiped it on and then dabbed at it with a shim to make the “sharkskin” type of finish. When ir full cured I knocked the sharpness off with the 120 grit and then degreased and painted. This stock feels amazing now and I actually really enjoyed the process.
