Ok, 3 coats of clear matte and the stock is still more shiny than I want. I’ll try a clear chalk finish tomorrow and if that does not do the trick, I’ll consider stripping it and trying to Duracoat it.

Or strip it and do an extremely light bead blast???

Worked on the dope charts for 4 rifles today (CZ 457, Tippmann, Noveske, Windham 308). Got the centerfire rifles on paper out to 300 yards, but stopped at 200 on the rimfires, because it was too much fun holding for wind (15mph or so today) and I burned up too much time doing that (along with yakking too much with other shooters there).

Didn't really shoot for groups at 200 or 300 yards, mainly just wanted to get elevation figured out and see what I could do with the wind today. Had fun and it was nice to get outside my comfort zone. Next Monday will be heavy focus on the rimfires at 200 yards, but I already did better today with them than I thought I would.

Also burnt up quite a bit of time and ammo trying to get that ZQI 7.62x51 ammo dialed in and a good 100 yard zero on it. I got quite frustrated with it after awhile. The rifle just does not like the ammo. I'll need to decide what to do about that.

And of course some target pics. The 300 yard targets were not shot for groups and I was playing around with different holds and adjustments. The Windham 308 really likes the Geco 168gr Match.

Nice shooting Carlos. Really nice results at 100 yards. I aim to get me and my rifle that consistent at some point.

Agreed I was thinking sanding or buffing it with something but bead blast probably better.

Yeah, I thought about steel wool !

That would make it flat gray again. I'm trying for flat tan.

Ah, forgot it wasn't FDE to start with.

Steel wool helped but I think a good flat finish is what it needs.

Ditto. Pay the $$ and have it cerakoted?

But we should all see and understand the reality's of war. Seriously.

Cause we may need to steel ourselves to view it again.

 

[patience0830]

I guess I'm getting two tripods, Samy's filled the backorder today and sent me a tracking number.

The wife can have the other one for her Canon that I bought her a few years ago.

Dang it. I was gonna put in a bid.

And sooooooo many have been isolated from the reality's of the social condition.
