Hey guys, I have a Sako carbonlite .223 dream rifle, Shoots the 77grn Belmont black into silly little groups out to 800y but i digress
the stock finish is showing lots of signs of wear.
love the finish on them are is the options for getting it redone?
Definitely not a warranty issue its been well used and has many fellow deer, rabbits, hares, goats plovers, and magpies under its belt.
Keen on seeing what comes out of this - I have the same rifle with a small amount of the factory finish peeling from the pistol grip.Quote:

From memory it was a nice flat finish and slightly grippy
Murfs precision rifles in Renwick do stock painting
What exactly is wrong with the finish now? All I got from the above was bragging about how cool it was :D
Yip murfs is they way foward
....as good as a grippy rubber finish is, it's a super piss-off if it starts disappearing. The same problem appears on the 85 Finnlight models (can't speak for 75's).Quote:

They did an awesome job on mine had it done for about 12 months now .
They really look crap when it starts rubbing off.
I would love a .223 as well

I love rubbery tacki stocks, nothing better than something grippy to keep it in ye hands
But yes longevity seems to be the downfall of most & Carbonlites are probably the worst, I fuked mine in a weekend & then paint off my "work hands" went & stuck to the cunt, looked like a right mess
Great to see "Murf's" come up with a solution, Be interested in how it lasts n performs in the long term, what sort of dollars to get it done 25/08 Impy ?
I used a Matt furniture lacquer 3coats Danny
I think it cost $250 which you shouldn't need to do on a rifle of that cost but mine used to look like crap.Quote:

No, it has a finish similar to a very light sand paper. Don’t ask me how it is applied, but it is a nice finish.Quote:
