I'm going to have to re-due the pics, the stock is a gray concrete color.
The flash is making it look pinkish!!

That's funny right there!
Funky paint job Dude
I've never painted a gun before, what did you use and how well do you think it will hold up?

Nice! Be interesting to see a range report. Didn't know they had a 30-30 barrel

As WCF3030 said the 30-30 is one of the most versatile round available. Real good job on yours, here is a picture of mine. Doug

I'm starting to think so.
Could be metal in the paint that reacts when the camera flash is used.

Yep.
I had no problem with covering it up.
The paint is a textured accent paint.

Good job. FWIW it does not look pink on my screen, just pinkish
A perfect day can only be achieved while hunting

I think chameleon camo is a good idea. Blend with the surroundings.

Are they Light Weight? I have a Nephew that will be hunting this year for the 1st time, 12 years old. He wants to start with a Single shot, and those look perfect.

Between 5 1/2 to 7lbs depending on caliber.

I'm pretty sure they all have the same barrel contour unless named "bull barrel".
So the bigger the bore the more "meat" has been taken away from the total
weight.
