Default First time at painting a rifle

Got thru putting the Mcgowen stainless select match barrel on and worked up a load for it. I noticed that the barrel was way to shiny for varmint hunting so i found some Krylon Camo Paint in the shop and went to work. Used all Flat colors, black, brown, olive, khaki.

I wanted it to blend in good, but didnt want a tigerstripe or any type of camo. It turned out better than i was expecting. I held the can a good ways away so it kinda "dusted" it.



Before:






After:




It looks kinda funny up close.





I think its a keeper, 22-250 - 5 rounds at 100yds.
80Gr Berger stays supersonic out to 1500yds and shoots flatter than my 300wm out to 1200yds.
Bye bye coyotes..

Im gonna do more testing with it, gonna start using it in F-Class 600yd competitions. Its a heck of alot cheaper to shoot than my 300wm.
