Plastic stocked rifle,dont look if you dont like them.
|
I picked up a Sako Trg-s in .300 Win mag a year or so back,took it out and shot a stag with it and some other animals about the farm here but i never liked the standard black colour of the stock and recently a buddy in the US gave me the heads up on his own mate that is doing paint jobs on rifles.
A deal was done and I sent the stock over to the US and she is winging her way back at the moment this is a pic of the actual stock. Sambar hunters special! Nothing like having a radical and safe colour eh!

Depending on what the use of the rifle is, I can appreciate a stock like that. It would be very suitable for a dog handler while moose hunting up here for example.

Gryph,
My eyes!
I used Erik's Mauser M03 in 7x64 moose hunting with its "plastic" stock but it was plain boring old black. Worked though.

My other rifles are cammed in "ordinary" colour schemes JH and this Moth Wing Orange is also done in a green too,I like the look of it also.
As you know I do quite a lot of Sambar photography or at least try to and I will do my own ob`s on the deer with this colour scheme.Of course with 18,000 registered deer hunters in Victoria alone having a bit of orange on or with you has to help,mates of mine even have squares of BO sewn onto their day packs as an extra insurance.
I was impressed with Jason from Barking Spider Graphics and his service between Oz and the US especially when straight off he said with no hesitation "no probs I will deal with Australian orders" to my initial query.
I have an R licence for NSW and contacted them re the mandatory orange to be worn in State Forests whilst hunting...it doesnt fit their requirements so a BO cap still needs to be worn...safer all round eh!
