Exclamation

I gave up 20 seconds into the video because I couldn't hear 95 % of what was said . If you can repost with audio you can actually hear, I would greatly appreciate it .

Did the camouflage stock get the ax?

Just as well if it did get the ax. . Do you want camouflage to be effective for woodland, desert or winter snow conditions? Camo paint is is just eye candy to impress your friends if it doesn't fit the environment. It can easily make the rifle more visible than a flat black surface. Netting or foliage has the advantage of camouflaging the rifle and the shooter at the same time eliminating the easy to recognize outline of "man with gun". Natural shadows are the best thing for reducing reflections off of the shooter and rifle.


Some people would think this is good camo, but who wouldn't recognize this as a man with a gun at 400+ yards?


Sensible use of natural light and shadow can provide better camouflage than paint.

We have just been sampling camo it to see if we like it.

All of the ones being built now are black.

My little girl is turning eight this month and she has been hunting with my 300 Whisper for two years now. She’s shot a buck and a doe. This year she will be hunting with my 7.62 Covert. If she’s still in to hunting at the end of the season we are going to get her a gun. The No 7 300 Blackout is in the running, but she really wants an AR. I have a guy that does camo dipping. The camo is translucent so the base coat shows through. I’m thinking pink or turquoise camo. She really likes the turquoise. The good thing is that he is local and I can stand there with him and get the suppressor done in the same pattern.

I understand. Camo is no longer an abbreviation of camouflage. It's come to just mean multicolored paint.

It is funny - I wanted to laser engrave either a Star Wars of Phineas and Ferb scene on my 7 year old's rifle, and he opted for just his initials saying he did not think a cartoon scene was appropriate for a real gun (I think it is, but I was still impressed he was thinking at that level).

Whats that say when your kids are more mature then you are.

My kids keep telling me to grow up. Of course my 17 year old daughter keeps telling me I am embarrassing.
