    Default Painting an R700

    So this waiting game is killing me and has me thinking, when I finally do get my R700 .308, I kinda think I want to paint it. Question is, since I have not one really artistic bone in my body, how to go about this:

    Kinda think a woodland style paint job like what the USMC sniper guys do would be awesome and should I have someone with actual painting talent do the work, or should I grab a few rattle cans of gun pain and try it myself?

    Drink a couple of beers. It'll help get your nerve up.
