Got my scope mounted today on my Savage 12fv 22-250. Also did a little paint on the factory stock and added another bipod stud.

Thought I would share a couple pictures of my Savage 12FV 22-250 with you. Same gun as above, just re-Painted the stock with a Gray Textured paint and a couple coats of flat clear coat for protection. Really happy with how it turned out. The paint has a nice feel to it and seems like it will be durable. I've been able to put 20 rounds thru it and got the scope sighted in. Had a 100yd 5 shot group that was around 1.25" Not bad for the wobbly rest I was shooting from and it was a tad cold. Every good shooter has excuses. :D

Actually got the paint at Wal-Mart but I would think Lowes would have it also. Another guy said to wait like 4 days after painting to really let it cure before clearing it. I did it all the same day, we'll see how it holds up.
There are two big things to getting a quality finish. First is to let the painted stock cure for it to be durable. Second is to make sure the cans are at the proper temperature and thoroughly shaken.Quote:

During the winter months I will put it in a room and shut the door to help keep the warmth in.
My wife's 9mm AR was Krylon'd three years ago and it has held up very well. The only areas that have wore through are on the bottom of the pistol grip, around the take down pins from taking it apart and where the charging handle rubs. This rifle gets used ALOT. I let it cure for a few days before doing anything with it and then I was gentle for another few weeks but since then it has been used and abused. The barrel has been so hot you can't touch it and still no problems, even on the flash hider. The flash hider is stained from carbon but still painted. There are some reports of tan turning pink with extreme heat but I personally haven't seen it.
Here is her 9mm right after it was done and really it looks about the same today as the day it was done, complete with skulls.

I'm finally 'done' with these two rifles.
The first is my custom rifle.
308 winchester 1.10" twist
27 inch SSS douglas barrel
Choate UV stock
T&T action and competition trigger

The next one is a modified stock. I basically 'glued' an AR-15 pistol grip on because I'm too broke to buy a regular stock.
10flp 223
1.9" twist
Competition trigger

I suppose this is the rifle that got me addicted to savage when I was about 7 years old. It's a savage 24S-E 22/410 over under. It was the first shotgun I ever shot.
