A different sort of camo

[MrBowcat]

Morning all.

My youngest daughter has been shooting with me for around a year now, since she turned 14.

At our last club shoot she did really well with one of my rifles (CZ452 .22LR) placing 3rd in the competition against seasoned shooters. I decided to designate it as her rifle, and asked her if she would like me to repaint it. It previously looked like this:



Being quite a girly girl she asked for pink, so I decided to try my hand at a Krptek camo pattern. This is what it came out like:









It will probably raise some eyebrows on the range, but she is really happy with it which is all that matters.

At least you won't confuse it with your rifle
Nice job on something maybe not your style but making someone else important happy

Good for her, and good for you to reward her efforts in this way!

Very awesome
What's the stock made out of?

Great job

Amazing work. And a cool family story too

Cheers gents.

Cor, it's Walnut. My first and only ever attempt at stock making. It's a bit rough and ready, but I had fun when I made it.

Yeah it looks great. Hope the paint doesnt come off. Cool you and your daughter shoot together.
My dad shot for Australia back in the day, and taught me to shoot when I was 4yo with a giant german 22 air rifle. He had a fall last month and cant go to the range any more, at 83 he was the oldest club member. Shooting was his life.
