Help me choose a color

[3-0-hate]

I’m leaning toward the dark grey/green, but I’m not 100% sure.

going the cheap Krylon route for now. I will likely cerakote in the future. This is mostly a beat around hunting rifle.

 

[b6graham]

what are you hunting terrain wise? that'd be pretty deciding for me

 

[Son of Dorn]

Why not both? Tan base, green on top to break it up.

 

[Steel head]

Sako green!

 

[Blackgloves]

I love the green finish, Been hooked on the green finish for many years.

Forever we have had the "Help me choose a scope, bipod, trigger, rings, just about every part of a rifle. Now we have to choose the color for someone we don't know, from somewhere we don't know, for rifle that is not identified, or specific use in mind, that will be beat around and repainted in the near future.
Are we that damn bored and without anything else to do. Lord take me I am ready.

[hkmp5s]

I prefer od greens but tan rifles don't get as hot in the sun.

I see that you are embarrassed to have responded and feel the the need to lash out.
I did not pick a color though.

by respond you mean ask use of said rifle to better inform people who might make useful comments/votes

I may or may not have originally forgotten to post the images of the two colors. My bad.

This dude must be fun at parties.

 

[supercorndogs]

Tan.

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

I'd paint that stock, then decide about the rest...

 

[FjallJager]

Thai bar chick pussy lip brown?

Stock is dipped. Likely going to keep it as is for now.

 

[Jscb1b]

Tan base with sponge green camo. Or green base with sponge tan camo.

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

Stock is dipped. Likely going to keep it as is for now.

In that case, I'd go with that green for the barrel. It looks nice. I generally like the tan colors better but that green looks pretty good

And you are the guy at parties that will corner some one and spend and hour telling them how you torque the lug lug nuts on your car.

Should not.

 

[DannC]

Should not.

Thanks, one square of TP was not helping much anyway. There's a shortage ya know.

 

[GrumpyOleFart]

Should not.

Keto diet and shit standing up.

Little or no bog roll required.

 

[3-0-hate]

Thanks everyone.. Ill be painting the barrel and action the darker greenish/grey color. Just waiting on a new recoil lug so I can put it all back together, get it painted and ultimately get it back out to the range.

Green...it will bring out the sparkle in your eyes better when you hit steel at distance.

However...as mentioned above..I'd go to Home Depot or the Dollar Tree and get a nice fluffy sponge...get a few cans of krylon camo colors...and sponge job it....if you don't like it....a little acetone and a rag and you can be back to where you are now.

If you do that...you won't have to worry about marks, dings, finger prints...dirt.....on a solid color you see them...and you fret about the aesthetics....and in reality if you are that worried about how it looks...you should probably paint it to match the carpet in your gun safe...because it will probably stay in there.

Which ever you do.....hopefully you shoot the shit out of it and smile everytime you do.

That’s the plan. I’m not all that easy on any of my guns. They all get used as intended and then some.

 

[jcmullis2]

You gotta be shitting me! Really? What color? It takes a insecure person to ask for help on such inconsequential things as color. Does one color shoot better than the others? I can’t believe he even ask such a silly question because everyone knows he should use the green. It clearly said in the movie “Meet the Parents” that green is the color geniuses pick. Smdh

 

[Lost_Phil]

Mauve with Fuchsia accents!

But really, I would go Sako Green.

 

[nksmfamjp]

Just remember...you will have to set that rifle down someday....how long do you want to have to look for it?
