tanman Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 hated shooting my 22-250 the stock was bulky and heavey so i took a big chance and started carving her down ... took all the hardware off and heres how she looked took a wood planer and took even ammounts off where it was needed took a palm sander and evened it all out rough sanded everything that did not get carved down applied two under coates of dull black spray paint using stenciels put on one coat of flat white spray pain. havent finished it yet but planing on using matte clear finish and its all done!

walleye101 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 That's what I thought, very few of them made. An old St Huberts in original condition can bring between 10-15 grand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleye101 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Sorry man, that was a bit cruel. Actually, I really like the look and was considering doing the same with my old Remington 788 in 22-250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
