Winter Camouflaged Rifles


I personally would not "Winter camo a rifle. I camo them,
but come winter, I just get a couple of rolls of Vet Wrap,
from the local farm supply store. This is a type of self
adhesive roll wrap, used for horse ankles, and such. It comes
in white, and forms to any shape. Just wrap the rifle,
when the snow flies, and unwrap the rifle, when it goes
brown/green again, or the rifle gets wet, and needs to
be dried, cleaned, and lubed. It's relatively cheap,
leaves no residue, and allows any pretty rifle, or camo
rifle, to become a winter rifle.

Just a thought.

I wouldn't camo it either.

I tie pieces of white cotton sheets on it with cable ties.

If you keep painting it twice a year, it's gonna get real heavy after a while.

I'm on par with the guys above.

Vet Wrap or an oddball white tube sock will get the job done. Easy on/off and nothing permanent. It's not anything you will post pictures of on PM but it definitely works in the white stuff.
 


Here's my M1A. Although I usually just vet wrap my AR in the winter, this stock was painted with the cheekpiece and front handguard because it is hard to vet wrap an M1A. I would wrap the scope before venturing out to defend against the commie hoards in the winter.

Sorry for last post without picture. PM won't take the picture because it is too big. Just vet wrap the rifle. Take it off in the spring. There is also camo vet wrap available if you have that beautiful wood stocked varmint rifle and don't want to paint it at all.

For me the winter camo is a cool factor of ten
I really don't start hunting till the deer seasons are over and by then there is snow and I usually quit in the spring when the snow is gone or going
So if I had a mind to camo a rifle snow would probably get some serious thought....
Btw..... Have you seen the DPMS Artic Panther /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
Sorry, no pics.
My "snow" camo is a Kane Gun Chap.
It's a 1-piece cover, that slips over the gun's stock, & zips up. It covers all except the barrel, receiver/scope & trigger guard.
It can be put on/taken off in seconds. And has no adhesive to leave a residue.
 
Here's my savage .22-250 12 FV I did a couple years ago. I vetwrap the scope. The pictures don't really show it but I used white base coat followed by a yellow tan and then a brown finished with clear.
I added a picture of couple of pics I got this year that I like a lot. Ryan

What squeeze said. Only thing I do different is to draw some branches on the vet wrap with a Sharpie just to break up the solid white. Doesn't have to be fancy.
 
I use McNett Camo Form self kling camouflage wrap. It's reuseable and it's only $14. Available in 7 different patterns including snow camo.

Here's a pic of my AR-15 in Mossy Oak Brush.

I wear stick and white snow camo pattern in snowy weather and use a black gun but we don't get enough snow down here to justify a snow camo rifle. I just had a rifle done in Mossy Oak New Breakup and it looks to me like it will work just about anywhere including snow.
 
I like to buy and sell different rifles regularly so I never paint any I own. To much value lost. The paint job may look good to you and the coyotes but you will find krylon is the quickest way to reduce the value of your gun by $100 or more.

If your gonna keep it for-ever, have at it.
 
Here is a Tikka T3 Varmint Stainlss in 22-250 with Zeiss scope I should of bought last year.

Here is my Rem 700 in 6mmRem with a Douglas stainless barrel and syn stock I painted with Krylon Fusion. Yes, I know, the scope(Bushnell 4200 Elite 4-16X) camo is ugly...but it is functional.
