Painted my RRS Tripod

Because it's his and he likes it that way. That's why.
In this thread we learn who the people are who stress themselves out constantly over what the resale value of shit they buy is.
I painted a stock with Krylon camo and I agree it's pretty tough paint. Much tougher than I anticipated. I might paint my RRS tripod OD Green. Did you sand the smooth finish on the carbon at all or just put down a base coat then krylon over the top?
No one paints RRS gear. They sip tea and keep their trigger finger in their spotters prison purse.
I actually had just the outside legs and Anvil Cerakoted (if that’s a word) just like the OP mine is used mostly in hunting applications. Never once was I worried about resale as I never plan to sell.

Looks good man, don’t listen to the haters. At least you’re using your equipment.
Thanks for the likes! I’m not sure why anyone else cares how we spend our money.
Let the haters hate and we will keep enjoying our toys.

Daniel at Primal Finish in Burlington, TN. Did both the RRS, TBAC and the DT.
His work is impeccable and very reasonably priced. I’m about to send him a couple of AR’s.
Give him a call - 901-451-1249
Couple of pics that shows his work

I might have to send in my covert after seeing yours. How much weight did the flutes save you? Is it a big difference in weight. I love my covert but dam it’s heavy! Lol
I sent the original 26” barrel to Mark at SAC and he cut it down to 16” then fluted it. All in all it took off a little over 2 lbs, 1/2lbs in just the fluting.
Don’t get me wrong it’s still a heavy bitch. But I have a 35oz ZCO sitting on it! I’ll have to weigh it again but I believe it is just over 13 lbs with scope, rail and empty mag.

Custom Cerakote on a RRS tripod with one ball head is $225 plus shipping. That includes camo on the legs, two tone on the top of the tripod, and one or two tone on ball head depending on the ballhead. BH40’s, BH55’s and such get air cure only and are one tone. Anvil 30’s and most leveling bases can easily be disassembled and can be two tone bake on c
I don’t cerakote inside legs as I don’t want to impede the function of the tripod. If you need the bottom legs of the tripod extended, then they are usually concealed by the high grass or whatever you are shooting over.
I digitally make and cut my own stencils so I can paint pretty much any camo you would like for the legs. Pictured camo patterns are TS Mirage designed by TS customs and painted to match Travis’s rifles.
Give me a call and we can discuss it further. 901-451-1249

I have seen most of the popular ball heads and my favorite is still the BH40 for anything less than 338LM. Second would be the anvil 30. The only reason I don’t say hands down anvil 30 is because of the position of the release lever.

If you want to do a full blown camo pattern look up a place called weapon stencils. I have picked up a bunch of vinyl stencils from them for doing cerakote camo on rifles. Their prices are very reasonable and their their stincles will work just as well with Krylon. I actually have a bunch of extra Multicam style stincles I can send you if those are what you would need.
