Browning X-Bolt Stock Paint & Cerakote

[Rapptor]

Got inspired by several posts on here to up the cool factor on an X-Bolt that's been sitting in the safe for a couple years. Paid a local gunsmith to do the FDE Cerakote on the metal but did the stock myself with Rust Oleum textured paint and Krylon marbelizing spray. Here's a before and after on how it turned out. Got me even more excited to chase some mule deer this fall!

Nice job! Prep is the hardest part.
Just finished a Durocoat finish on a Rem 700 yesterday. Again, prep was the hard part.

Looks great! What model is that? Looks to be the composite stalker. If so, is that the stock with out the awful dura-touch coating? I cant find much info on their fix for the dura touch

check for the recall. Not sure on the rifle, but I have a Winchester SX3 ( Browning) that was had Duratouch. Became sticky. They replace the stock for free. I just did mine a month ago. The shotgun is 8 or 9 years old.

I think it's a gray hunter or something like that. Not Duratouch. Basically the same as the composite stalker but with a cheap non-textured stock.

If I was a mule deer I'd druther meet my demise at the hands of a purty gun as opposed to an ugly one.
