Boy are you brave mate, looks good though. Have a good evening shoot, looks like the rest of the week is goinmg to be a bit wet, plus your off soon? Heard from a cousin in Tofield that they still getting big dumps of snow, so break out the cold weather kit mate

[pipa 299]

[darren watson 14]

very brave, it would take some kahunas to do that to any old stock, but one as beautiful as an R10! but, like you say, its a hunting tool at the end of the day. nice job mate, and 10/10 for balls!

[darren watson 14]

i noticed you've marked out the true parallax on your AO, can these be used for accurate range finding?

Strewth! You've done an amazing looking job here Si. I was just over looking at the thread of your evening out with Andy (rossy08) before I picked this up. Personally, I love the classic look of nice woods and rich blueing. But this looks like a tactical rabbit-sniping tool now; built for purpose!

 

All the best with it mate.

Thanks Simon,

 

I know someone that dips antique furnicher and he will dip it for me he says if i ever want it back to walnut. All i will need to do is oil it then saving me on a new stock.

 

Its good to be different i suppose from time to time and breaks from the norm.

 

I havent touched the action at all just the stock.

Not sure about that myself buddy, preferred it the way it was...but good on you for having the balls to do it, and if you're happy, then who cares what I think?!

Hi lads I decided to give my r10 stock a make over and give it the broken outline look yesterday.

 

I do like the walnut stock on the r10 but wanted to try something new for a change and as my r10 is more of a hunting rifle than a thing of beauty so I decided to camo her up a bit and try and break up her outline.

 

The primer and paint that I used was from B&Q and is called Plasti Kote spray which is £3.48 a can.

 

I gave the stock 2 coats of Plasti Kote primer first and then 2 full coats of colour allowing everything to dry first.

 

The last thing I did was to give it 2 coats of Plasti Kote clear finish.

 

If I ever feel the need to go back to a walnut stock I will buy one from BSA new.

 

I can also go completely black if I want too which would give the rifle the synthetic look which I also like.

 

Hopefully this stock will be a asset in the field when static hunting over decoys for woodys in the future.

 

Si

Nom Nom, that's a sexy r10...what's happened to your pro sport?
