Decided to camo the .270

[justimm]

Ok so i decided i was tired of the deer rifle bing black, so i camoed it the other day!! Its a Howa .270 with a synthetic stock and a Bushnell Banner 6-18x60 scope.

this is how it began......

---

then disassenbled and painted a moss green....

---

added a layer of brush similar to the area i hunt and painted olive green

---

one more heavy layer of brush, then black

---

removed sticks and brush then hit with a light coat of the moss to blend everything just right

---

bought a bipod and did the same thing....

---

oh, and look and the stock where ammo sleeve is, i also made a chin rest out of a broom handle to help relieve neck strain when focusing scope

---

---

---

was fun, and the pics dont do it justice....everyone that has seen it swears it came from the factory like that till i show them the pics of me doing it!! hope this helps anyone thinkinf of doing it

---

forgot to say, but bwefore you put on first coat, make sure you scrub with a scour pad very well and then wipe with a damp cloth to make sure everything is removed from surface.

Nice work. That is a serious scope on there

yeah man, went out to the land couple weeks ago and put all 5 shots in a 1/2" grouping at 500 yards no problem. the guy i bought it from said the gun smith put a 1" spacing at 1000 yards with it, but i dont think im good enough to even ATTEMPT that! lol

i love the 270. nice work with the camo.

That's cool, so that's how you do camo paint job.....Thanks

[justimm]

yeah man, just pick the colors and foliage thats native to where you hunt. im thinking of doing the barrel and scope too, but i havent decided yet

---

the most important part of this whole thing was the chin rest i put on! i lay my cheek there and im lined up perfectly with the scope, no neck strain whatsoever!!

---

my next set of days off, im thinking of doing my 9mm that i take with me when i go hunting too.....might as well, right!

[Mikey]

very cool i cant bring myself to the camo on any of my guns yet, i need to get one and just do it and do it up like you did.
My 9mm is in the holster and conceled, so i am not worried about that.
