I was just reading about camo-ing your rifle with spray paint and stincels etc. That is a good idea if you plan to keep the rifle for ever. I would suggest another option. I thought I would let everybody across the board know that "Kanes Products" are not out of buisness. There has been a real nasty roomer that says they were. They have the coolest camo cover for your rifles. They protect every inch of your stock and come in all kinds of camo patterns. They run about $25 dollars is all. You can find them at www.highlandersports.com or if you want to see a picture of them go to www.basspro.com and type in "Gun chaps" in there search option. Give them a call and they will tell you all about them. They also make neopren scope covers that are camo that keep the H20 off of your optics. I too have a hard time justifying spray painting an outfit that I have paid over a thousand dollars for. This is a great company...you should all check it out! If anybody has any questions just ask me. It took me a while to track these covers down, so if you can't find them let me know.
