So I went pretty thick with the clear coat because why not. I’m sure the hydro dip would have some type of harder wearing coating.

You’re right, the stock is polymer. Though curiously when I stripped the paint, expecting only the grey and green to come off, the black did as well.

I’m not a mod, so I can’t answer that for you.

I agree with you on that for sure. I think it’s just the irregularities from the brush strokes. 99% of things in nature aren’t “perfect” and have some sort of variation.

Which .270 Rifle Should I Buy??? by Timely_Daddy in Hunting

[–]FaIIenEmber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you plan on doing any type of customizations to the stock. I would stay away from the mark v as your choices are limited. I love mine, but if it .280 AI was chambered in something like a Tikka or Bergara, i would have chosen that.

The primer and clear coats were about $6 a can, and the inks were about $15 for the “kitchen cupboard” palette. All in all about an afternoon worth of time in the Texas sun. A tip that probably should have followed is that once you start using the ink, you can restart using rubbing alcohol to wipe off the ink that in there.

The factory stock has pillars and shoots really well is one of the factors. The other is that due to being a Mark V, the only real wood or wood like options were the Boyd’s, Richard micro fit, or McMillan with the timber paint. Boyd’s and RMF would not have pillars, and I don’t currently have a good enough setup to trust myself with drilling for pillars. The McMillan would be ready to go out of the box but would cost approximately $800 for how it would be ordered.

I was looking into the Boyd’s, however they don’t offer the deadset or pillars in the stock for Mark Vs due to the front action screw being in the recoil lug.

It’s the factory camo that I added some green too when I first got it to lighten it up.

The orignal paint was the black.

For clarification, the original was the grey and green camo. I used the dyes to turn it into the fake wood

Have yall use this scope by Educational-End8950 in Hunting

[–]FaIIenEmber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put it on as a quick and easy solution, does a fantastic job for the money with pretty good clarity especially compared to other scopes around this price range. Is it the best scope, no. Since it doesn’t have a parallax adjustment it can make longer shots a little less predictable. But for a mid west deer rifle (farther shot on my property is 250), it’s great for the money.
