just wanted to show off my SOCOM with it's current camo pattern.... I'd like to think of it as Arctic Snakeskin haha. Wanted something different so I did some work on my brothers car and he painted my stock. I think it came out pretty slick... thoughts? I chose arctic, but just tweaking colors we can get desert, woodland, etc... might try to pick up a few stocks and experiment a little. We'll see..

Looks pretty good, what type of paint did you use?

Sweet!

Nice and slinky looking! How's she shoot?

I'm not exactly sure what type of paint was used... probably just some rattle cans from wal-mart. It's held up so far though, so I can't complain. Shoots pretty well, not too fond of the wide rear aperture though. I've been looking at different sighting options, still debating whether to keep it iron sights or go with a scope of some sort. Had an EOTech on it but didn't like that too well. All I ever do is put holes in paper, so the CQB thing didn't quite work for my style.

I run an EOTECH on my duty AR and really like it and am considering putting one on my Bush rifle.

Up to now I've been running a Burris 2.75 scope on the Bush with a Scout mount like your gun has. It worked fine for punching paper but I like to do the CQB stuff so am trending towards an EOTECH for my Bushie. What didn't you like about that setup on your SOCOM?

I felt it sat a little too high for my liking, like I'd have to put a cheek rest or something on it. Just a personal preference thing... I've used them on AR's and loved em, just didn't quite feel right on my M1A.

 

[mercman]

Understood! I picked up a Troy MCS stock and will probably put that on my Bushie and then run an EOTECH on it. The Troy let's the ergonomics be more AR like........

Excellent!

Looks good, I have always liked the snake design. This would be perfect up in the cold country, the polar bears would never see it coming.
