That smoke one in the back is cool! Any more pictures of that one?

Its not print. Custom mixed orange pearl base with black paint "applied" in stripes then enough clear to smooth out the texture. Really want to do a white and black one like this. Heres another with a different orange base. I really like this technique.

I should have said pattern.
It looks badass!
I'm getting a McMillan br stock I believe,
from a forum member.
I was thinking of a custom orange.
Have some green to gold carizma pearl
that lights up like Vegas at night.
Should make it really pop!

Post pictures! Pearl just doesn't come out though in pics like it does in the sun.

I like the print.
Is that on tangalo?

Here's a HOK Tangerine, for you orange lovers. Tons of pearl. It "glows" in the sun. Dang UT Vols fans! It's in North Carolina now.

I had an old McMillan for a long time that was close but Dusty's is prettier....but he never has beat me yet. Lol!
Wish he'd come shoot a UBR match with us.

We must keep in mind, pretty is as pretty does!

Lol! Thanks! I'm just not an orange fan but it was pretty...if you like orange. I did two for two different people at the same time...big buddies. One stock was for a different action of some sort. I think it was this one. Anyway..had to grind it out and fill it back up, etc, before I could paint it. I do like all that pearl in this one.

That white gun won a lot of fake wood. It took me forever to get use to my next one, in an Edge stock. I grew to like it.

Dusty's looks like a true fire technique done with greys to create that smoky appearance.
But this is just a semi educated guess.

I bet it is. Mine was molded in from McMillan. Not bad but not nearly as nice as his.
It was like maple...you either loved it or hated it. I liked it, myself.

Beautiful!

Speaking of fake wood, that white gun was built, painted, new shooter’s first match was the super shoot, he won it and never shot again. That gun has toted more wood than any that ive ever had

Must be lucky barrels...
