Dad, change my stock color!

[FOTIS]

So Steph's 325 WSM started life like this.

and then he wanted purple!

Nah dad, not my cup of tea!

And I just finished her this morning.

Stephen is gonna like it. :mrgreen:

He has a good eye for colour! He will definitely make it into his own rifle, and that isn't all bad. I kinda' like the current iteration.

 

[OU812]

Me like very much.

As much as I hate to say it, I like the last version the best myself! It looks pretty darn cool. Nice job Fotis. Has Stephen seen it yet, or is it a surprise?

I think I would have gotten him involved in the process (assuming he wasn't). One more thing you can spend time together doing.

As soon as he saw his sister's he had to have a different color

Of course, if it's all based on his sister's experience, one has to ask, does he have bright teal colored socks to match his rifle stock?

 

[FOTIS]

Not too sure....

 

[Elkman]

Can I send you three or four of mine?? I am not so picky and lean toward olive and black.

Nice work Fotis. That looks really sharp.

 

[ScreaminEagle]

that looks really good!

 

[FOTIS]

Thank you guys!


Steph's 270 Winchester (Savage) is maroon and black webbing. Sharp looking.

 

[SJB358]

Very cool looking rifles Fotis. Those kids have them personalized pretty nice.

 

[brianwyo]

Fotis,

Thanks for the info on that paint job. I always wondered how that webbing on the stock came from. It has sparked a few ideas. Brian
