My wife has been wanting me to paint her calling rifle ever since I painted mine.
Barbara said she wanted a bobcat track on the side of it....
It got me to thinking about the recent article in Predator Extreme magazine about how coyotes "see" camoflage.
A bobcat has the most convincing camo of nearly all animals that I know of....Plus, I like the way a bobcat is colored. They are magnificent! Especially those with lots of color.
So, I did some thinking about how to paint Barbara's rifle to look like a bobcat pattern.
It took some doing to get a plan & then buy the flat paint that would work for the new camo pattern.
I finally bought what I thought would work, & Saturady evening I put it all together on her rifle.
I mean, my wife is my calling partner, & she is very special, so nothing less than a special paintjob would work, Right? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Here's a few pics of her rifle.
As you can see, I DID paint a bobcat print on the reciever for her....She loves the print & the pattern. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
What do you guys think? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
Closer....for detail
I'd love to hear your opinions.
BTW, her AR shoots sub-moa & she IS deadly with it! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Thanks for looking!
