I've added a cheek support and repainted it.

Was the cheekpiece even lower before your modifications? _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

Not my kind of thing though. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed May 28, 2008 12:45 pm cw Banned Joined: 10 Feb 2008 Posts: 1771 Not really my thing either, but being as most animals are color blind it might just work if it breaks up the image enough to the animals perception. Plus it would be hard to loose. I went hunting years ago with a friend who had a $2500 Rapid rifle done in one of those Realtree patterns. It was a beautiful rifle, but one evening, well into dusk, deep in the Naselle woods I helped him srearch for it for 45 minutes before we found it. He was said that he was not going to leave without it.   Posted: Wed May 28, 2008 12:47 pm Sovremennik New Member Joined: 26 Mar 2008 Posts: 10 well i didnt actually try to camo it for hunting just for the looks. For hunting i have special camo sock for it   Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 2:12 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands cw wrote: Not really my thing either, but being as most animals are color blind it might just work if it breaks up the image enough to the animals perception.

I mean, you can spend to much on a rifle. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 2:56 am 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 Nah . . . $2500 is quite reasonable for a hand built custom. I've spent more . . . Of course, you already knew that. Pretty effective however . . .   Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 3:01 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands 23ib0d0n wrote: Nah . . . $2500 is quite reasonable for a hand built custom.

Your collection seems to range from El Cheapo (though never for to long, as far as I can tell) up to the great and unaffordable. It kind of makes me wonder what position you are in. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 5:28 am billandbeaufort Senior Member Joined: 01 Apr 2008 Posts: 563 Location: Florida I did not think anybody could "collect" Gary L. Barnes guns! Not due to price (there are plenty of people who can afford them) but due to availability!!! I just got on the ledger with him and will have a couple of years to pay and wait! If you need to wait 3 years for each piece you must have bought all at once? I was tempted by the "Nebula 25" but I already have a small caliber bench gun. I am leaning toward a Yukon in .58 caliber for 100 yard work. I was in the closet but now that I know there are others out there with this addiction I'm coming out!!! I like G.L. Barnes guns and I don't care who knows it.   Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 10:07 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Well, personally they're not my taste, in beauty terms, but I can't say he's doing a bad job either. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 10:21 am Rogerflat Silver Status Member Joined: 03 Jan 2008 Posts: 2051 I like the way it looks actually. Though if your going with tiger stripes, might be cool to use the colors of an actual tiger. That's also an effective camouflage color pattern apparently. As far as camouflaging rifles goes, you mainly just want to camo the barrel and scope. Those are the things that are really exposed. My dad always used to say that there is nothing in nature that looks like a shiny black wand, so when game see your barrel they'll know somethings amiss. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.
