Look at Cerakote's website and see what you like. Request swatches and they will send squares of aluminum that have been cerakoted free. Then you can hold them up to the stock and compare.

I really like burnt bronze. I accidentally did it with krylon and really like it.

This is what I did. After painting mine badly in a multicam pattern I stripped it and repainted it with krylon camo brown but it is very close to burnt broze cerakote.

Now that's funny!

I think Desert Sand or OD Green would look purty snappy. Is this a Tikka build? Specs?

And he will tell you Tikka is the best gun on earth. Even though the only thing still Tikka is the action. Should've just bought a Savage and been done with it.

Nothing I have is the best

Some day you'll get rid of that smurfy savage and build something nice.

Haven't had these problems in over 1,200 rounds. You're talking about a part that cost $5. You will buy a rifle, strip everything off of it and spend thousands to rebuild it. Besides, I just like to give BIL a hard time, he's jealous of my rifle colors.

Yes, BIL can shoot, but still have to give him a hard time.
