I found a stock that someone had butchered and my 16" 6.5 saum would fit in it on the cheap. I can get rid of the butchering with a good bedding job and either a hydro dip or paint it...I'm doing both barreled action and stock. I've narrowed it down to Kuiu Valo or Verde. Which one do y'all think I should do?

Of the Kuiu patterns listed I'd undoubtedly choose Verde. Please don't though. I'll even give back your AR vice block if it'll help!

Where do you hunt the most? Pick the color that matches best. For me it would be Valo since I hunt the transition zone between the Hill Country and West Texas.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Can I vote for Muddy Girl? Looks like you and the two Big's play for the same team...sorry we are phobes around here...move along  Sort of shocked you 3 didn't ask for bottomland  Seriously....where I hunt most is valo but likely I won't keep this rifle long. I've already killed last years buck with it and things don't seem to stick around long after I've killed something with it...so interested in what the majority prefers.

I think OCP (Scorpion) is the best all around pattern but that’s not an option in the poll.

Verde for sure if those are the only two options, that pattern looks good when the barrel and stock are done together.

Verde is green in Spanish. No idea what the other one is. Helpful no vote.

Verde would look cooler on a rifle but Valo blends with more backgrounds…….Valo.

likely I won't keep this rifle long. I've already killed last years buck with it and things don't seem to stick around long after I've killed something with it In that case, WWBD? what would Buzz do He's perfected the art of Quick Sale Sally, and I'm thankful.
