Cerokote color

[Dselman]

I've got a remington 700 bdl that I've just got done building in 6.5-284 with a 18 inch heavy barrel. When I built the rifle I was planning on buying an aftermarket stock for it, but I put the factory bdl stock on it temporarily and its starting to grow on me. So I'm probably going to keep it. Well my question is what color cerakote would look best with a wood rifle stock. I would like something different than the normal black/grey that people do but I'm not sure what color would look good.

google "cerakote with wood stock" choose images and you'll get some hits of rifles and shotguns with wood stocks and cerakoted metal. You local applicator may have some pic's on their website as well.

I find some of the olive or muted greens beautiful with wood stocks and black accents, but I could just be half a bubble off ?

Burnt bronze looks good to me on many rifles.

 

[Dselman]

Thank you I've been thinking about the burnt bronze or green, but all the pictures I've found are of shotguns and I'd like to see it on a rifle first. so does anybody have pictures of a rifle that they've cerokoted one of these colors with a wood stock

With a quick search the only burnt bronze long guns with wooden stock are Browning shotguns:

We did this burnt bronze on a customers shotgun with wood furniture a couple months ago. I know it’s not a bolt gun. But to give you a reference pic.

Recently, I've seen some cerakote jobs that look like "distressed" or "battle worn" finishes. Those can look cool on things that have some flat areas and corners. ARs, 1911s, chassis rifles. Perhaps not the best for a bolt action with wooden stock?

 

[Dselman]

I'm kinda leaning towards a green of some sort. I found a can of od green laying around the shop. So I painted the bottom metal to see if I'll like it. I'm not sure how I like any of the bronzes with a wood stock

 

[perttime]

What about... some pretty dark shade of blue?

 

[spife7980]

Bronze cerakote is gross.

I like the light green that minions how the old m40 bluing jobs or anodizing or whatever crap it was haycock shot could sometimes turn out.

Maybe blasphemous but have you considered refinishing stock?
The standard 700 r stock is lacking.

I have a few stainless walnut, always liked that combo.

This. I used to have a stainless Sako 75 in a walnut stock. Stunning rifle.

 

[Dselman]

Yea I'm definitely going to to strip the stock down and refinish it with something less glossy I'm just not sure what I want to use yet.

Yep. Looks like buing, at a quick glance. Might go for a little lighter shade, if I were doing it.
