Rifle painting creativity at its best.

[JFrank]

We are fortunate to have some of the best rifle builders and painters in the country as members right here on Accurate Shooter.
The list is long and I would not want to miss anyone so I’ll just add that one of my all time favorites is from Mike Ezell @gunsandgunsmithing …

Finished this old girl up last week for a friend. Neither of us had any idea what I was gonna do for a while but I remembered him talking fondly of his first car...a 1957 Chevy. It's the original Tropical Turquoise but I used a pearl from a late model GM and silver for the striping. Check out the little Bel Air fender louvers. Lol!
Disregard the tape around the barrel. It wasn't glued in yet, when I took these pics.

Thanks brother. Did you see I finally got a mention in the bulletin on Sunday?
Ron Tilley's WFO made by Jason Avila in Bastogne walnut.
Here's a shot of a couple Dennis Ray @Southwest Action Works laminate stocks for two young lady shooters, Shilo and Grace Plue.

Of course when it goes to Brett as a blank slate and he turns it into a masterpiece.,

But I’m slightly bias.

Lots of skill and talent on this forum representing many trades.

I've been shooting benchrest for 50+ years. Over the years I've seen some really good painted stocks. In my opinion the best I've seen is from Brett Childers in Oregen. He did 2 stocks for Jeff Crose and me that were made on Cedar. When I got the stocks back there wasn't flaw anywhere. I held the stock up to a light and looked down the sides of the stock; not only was the finish perfectly smooth but there wasn't curve or straight section that wasn't perfect. They were the best finishes I've ever seen. I can tell you from experience that sanding a soft wood with raised grain is not easy. The application of the finish coat was as I said perfect.

Thank you Gary for the kind words, coming from a master of your craft this means a lot!
We've done 4 for Mr.Crose BTW. LOL

Thaks for the kind words; however there ae many out there that do what I do, but there is no one out there that does what you do on a rifle stock. I would have posted the others that you died and painted but I couldn't find the pics that I took. Your latest one on Jeffs blue carbon was a gold medal. Brett, not only does GREAT work but he is easy to work with. Tell him what you think you want and he'll make it happen.

The Jeremy Mataya for Jeff is a all time favorite for sure
