Very nice! I’ve painted a lot of rifles, but I always love getting new ideas to try. Quick tip: I always started with the lightest color, but if you live in an area with more green and vegetation, start with that color first. That way if you’re using some of that vegetation as a stencil, the “leaves” will actually be green. Then you can add browns, tans, blacks, etc. or even other shades of green.
Thanks for your input! I totally agree with you... these techniques are a guideline; they should be geared toward the environment the rifle will be used in. In this case it's for coyote hunting in the desert.
