I joined this site a while back, and I wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the great info here!

I recently traded my AR 15 for this LR 308. It had a not so great paint job on it, and when I stripped it the black factory finish just didnt look good, so I decided to do a camo paint job that was similar to Atac. Once it was done I bought a Millet scope with the Atac camo already on it. As it turned out they matched pretty well.

As a side note, I'm quite impressed with the accuracy of this rifle. It has no problem holding 3/4" groups at 100 yards.

What did you use to paint the rifle? Duracoat, krylon? Looks awesome. <thumbsup>

I know some cringe at the thought of it, but I used Krylon. I like it that I can change or repair it easily, and it is actually a lot more durable that I thought it would be.

I really appreciate the compliments guys!

Thanks, I have no qualms about using krylon. I'm fixin to paint an old redfield scope, then my rifle in due time. I want to do a desert tan or coyote brown base, unsure about which one though. Then replicate a rattlesnake skin affect ( w/ laundry bag mesh drapped over rifle) w/ a dark copper and OD green pattern.

My LR308A2 Carbine.  This is my attempt at a flecktan cammo job.   It blends in good in my AO.   Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures.
