    Spray painting an Sako...

    I acquired this Sako Finnlight 300 Win Mag from a TBHer. It was in great shape just some fine surface scratches on the black factory stock. I got bored at home so I decided to remedy that

    Removed action and taped off all the rubber grip inserts and anything else I didn’t want paint on. After Wiping it down with alcohol to remove any dirt and grime I hit it with a coat of graphite grey spray paint, ended up with 2 coats of grey before adding the accents.

    Using a natural sponge and acrylic craft paints I started with black and randomly hit it throughout the stock. Afterwards I applied the grey to break up the black and finished with the orange to add some accents.

    A total of 4 coats of matte clear then one dried I removed the tape and assembled the gun.

            What kind of clear coat did you use? I am going to do this on one of my stocks and am curious as to what is the most durable.

                      Scope height is ok, I’d prefer it lower but the rifle came with the rings and bases. I’m not a fan of the rings and bases but the ones I want are $$$. And since it’s a Sako there aren’t just tons of choices since they have a unique receiver. So until then I’ll stick with these, the scope is a 42mm.
