i just bought a cz 527 varmint and i am happy with it, but the wood is pretty plain. i was thinking about a nice camo paint job but am to afraid to do it myself. i dont know how familiar you are with some of the mcmillan stocks. they have some pretty neat camo patters, kinda old school looking, to me anyway. i think a snow pattern would look nice. i guess my question is how or were would i have this done. any thoughts? thanks lee

It offers no practical advantage, but practicality has never been much of a hurdle for me. I have 'camoed' a few things (never a gun) and like to start with the lightest color as the base. As it dries, I apply each of the rest of the colors, lightest to darkest, drying in between.
The base color is solid, the others make up whatever pattern I want. When all is dry, I like to use sticks, leaves, etc. as stencils, and use light blasts of black to give texture.
Practice on something you don't mind messing up before you start in on your gun.

Both Cabela's, Midway and Brownell's sells kits of spray to camo your rifles. Using some leaves or such can make nice patterns. You can also get the spray from your local Walmart.
Personally I'm just not going to spray my guns, but lots of folks here have with great results. Do a search on camo for some great ideas and pix of some the guys have done. It's not hard, just mask off things like scope lens and anything you don't want painted. It makes it easy to update your gun for different seasons if you do it yourself.
