did you paint that up yourself or was that factory? nice job... wow.

Fellas-- I've seen some really nice rigs in this post.

Danthehunter- very nice stock on that .220Swift!

Skidder- Thats the nicest snow camo job I've ever seen!!!
Did you do it yourself, or was it professionally done? Impressive!!!

Thanks.I'm quite pleased with it. I did it myself. It's just Krylon whitefor the background.I drew on the branches and stuff with a pencil, then went over it with different paints to get the colours I wanted. I got all the paint at a craft store. It really wasn't hard, it just took some time. I used Skyline Horizon as a model to work from.

How durable is the paint job

No scratchs so far. If anything it'll be the branches that scratch but it doesn't scratch whenI use a fingernail on it. The krylon is made for plastiic and metal. It was a synthetic stock so it shouldn't scratch

My Ruger Mini-14 and Olympic Arms AR-15

TC Encore .22-250.... in case anyone inquires about the stock it is a stinger thumbhole stock in cherry and I purchased it from: http://www.gunstocksinc.com

SanSaba, how do you like your mini 14... im thinkin of getting one and was just wondering how it shoots. about how far are you comfortable shooting it. thanks Higgins

I've shot the older mini 14, I was a little disapointed with its accuracy at even 100 yards,but I don't think its made for distance for distance shooting.

i'm a bit of a newbie to the mini 14, but what caliber does it come in? i saw what i thought was one at walmart with the .22 rimfires but that clip definitely looks bigger than that...
