It's a .450 Bushmaster built as a woods carbine, so I decided it wouldn't hurt to make it look the part...
Camouflaged my latest AR build...

I initially did some load development for it using a Nikon fixed 3x, but I wanted something a bit more compact and lighter, so I have a Dagger Defense reflex sight on order. Should be an 8lb rifle with the sling, full magazine, and sight attached.

so the Nikon was good except for the size. i have the Bushnell trs 25 on my ar15 but my astigmatism does not like it, i see a nice big horse shoe lol. and what paint did u use.

The Nikon P223 is a great little scope! I have astigmatism as well and had no issues with it. I do have issues with most red dot type sights, however, but the one I chose has been "OK" for me.
I just use regular Krylon camo paint from WalMart. It holds up fine and if it doesn't, it's no big deal. Seems to last about as long as those expensive cerakote jobs.

i am working on a marlin that i can blue at work but i still feel i need to paint it like it was before, i would do cerakote we have 100s of colors at work. the rifle is posted in the rifle country thread i would like to here what u would do paint or bluing since u like playing bob Ross like i do
I like it. I think a lot of people underestimate the good use of spray paint. To me, it's a great way to add color and pattern to a rifle for very cheap. When it wears off, add more. When the season or your location change, add more.

I typically cringe when I see a home grown camo job. That looks great

WOW! That is quite impressive. Nice job!
Whatever you do, don't lean that pup against a tree or lay it on the ground in the woods and wander off or you may have real difficulty finding it.

That looks good, I've considered doing that to mine but I'll be honest it scares me seeing how expensive the rifle is haha

God (and Eugene Stoner) intended AR's to be BLACK. Anything else is somehow not authentic.

Great camo paint job! A buddy of mine does the same thing to all of his hunting rifles and shotguns. Has it down to a science now.
