Coordinating camo patterns

[hunter24605]

Haley didn’t like the plain black stock on the 308 XPR, it needed to match her She Outdoors hunting clothes with the Strata pattern. I stripped it down and cleaned it up for her and she went to town with sponges and flat enamel. And a top coat of of dead flat clear. Mission accomplished. Now if I could talk her into upgrading the scope……

First of all, that's an amazingly good match.
In jest, of course, you could always do some finish work and "accidentally" get some on the lens

Beautiful work. I'm sure she'll be pleased with the rifle.

I did my Tikka last season and yours came out WAY better!

Your camo job looks pretty darn good.
You fellas might consider adding an RFID tag to your camo rifles so you don't loose them outdoors.

Upgrade the scope? It’s got the tacticool throw lever

That old Monstrum scope has bounced around all sorts of rifles here, usually working as a temporary scope while waiting on a new to come in. It's a decent enough scope for timber whitetail hunting, and at the range for 200 yards work, but It doesn't have the light gathering and sharpness my old eyes need for any kind of serious shooting. But with her young eyes and only $130, it does what she asks of it.

She did a rather good job of matching the camo.

We always joke about how the camo is more to impress each other than it is for effective hunting. I hunt out of box blinds in NC and SC. My buddy asks why I wear all that expensive camo. I tell him it's just for the photos and that I remove it in the stand. LMAO

Great job. That looks real good.
