I Don't Want To Paint A Rifle - Alternatives??

[Demonical]

I have a CZ-527 .223 Varminter, that I'm using for coyotes. It's got the grey laminate stock.

I'd like to put a white covering of some sort on it, but then in the spring & fall, I'd prefer to just use it without the white.

What do you guys do for a covering, without paint?

Any pictures?

Thanks, Jim.

I used snow camo wrap that only sticks to itself, works well and leaves zero residue. I had it on a savage for two years before painting the stock. Found it at Walmart in the hunting aisle. Cost was 15 bucks or so.

not my rifle

double wide white hockey tape, cheap and easy, some old residue left behind but cleaned up no problem, no damage to my laminate stock

Sports tape would have a similar effect, its durable and will only stick to itself so there should be minimal residue, if any. Otherwise you could plastidip it, but I'm not sure how well that would hold up to hunting use (might be worth trying though). Last idea would be to wrap it with vinyl, but that might be tricky and could leave a lot of residue.

I've tried plasti dip on shotgun stock and it didn't hold up too well. The pump and the cheek weld wore off in short order.

That medical tape crap that only sticks to itself my wife gets it for me from the hospital.

Arma-coat.

He wants it to be removable

I should have been more clear. Arma-coat a spare stock, and leave the original untouched. He doesn't need to camo the metal or scope.

I found that, plus I also found this stuff called sports tensor tape. It looks like white hockey tape and is meant for taping ankles, wrists etc...
Gonna try both, see what works the best.

Gaffers tape could be an option too because it doesn't leave a sticky residue. And yes you can get it in white

Old socks. Or spraypaint hessian scrim.

Buy some of that fake snow in a can that people spray on their windows at Xmas time. Saw a Czech guy on YouTube do it

Nobody has said it, but plenty of us take yotes without doing anything to a stock in wood, black or laminate........ I don't think your rifle not being white is a disadvantage....... I wouldn't do anything to it personally.....

^ Yeah, I get that. I mainly only want to do the front part, that would be most visible to a coyote, as I go to aim.

After. This is with a wrap of so-called 'Sports Tensor Tape', which is glorified white hockey tape.
