Painted my stock

[Jcann]

Looks good, I'm interested to see how well it will hold up.

It won't last like a "molded in" stock and I'm sure it will scuff and chip over the years but it's a $20 paint job. I tried to prep it as best as I could and used acetone, scuffed the stock, and alcohol prior to painting.

I've got a lot in this rifle already and didn't want to explain to the wife why I needed a $200 paint job. Next year I'll probably need to re-barrel and that will be the time to explain things to the wife.

How does it feel? More like a wood stock perhaps?

Have a couple of synthetic long guns and they just don't feel right to me.

That's a tough question, I never noticed it felt any different than a wood stock.
