I’ve bought a couple dip kits of eBay and dipped some stocks, they turned pretty good.

I had a Wildcat stock dipped by Victoria Hydrographics. It turned out good. Dipped it in KUIU Verde 2.0. Don't remember the exact cost, but it was a bit more than I was expecting. I wasn't brave enough to try a DIY kit.

At Wild cat it’s not just a dip. After dipping the stock is clear coated with an epoxy making it extremely durable

Hydro dipping is not very durable, it looks good for the first little bit but is easily scratched off.

Victoria Hydrographics did two coats of clear on my stock. Hunted it two seasons so far and no damage I can see. Seems durable enough for what I do.

I can see in elkhunter1234’s pic that his coating has come off, so the clearcoat would definitely work.

x2 a clear coat would need to be done, looking into a auto clear coat may be more expensive but what read on some dipping sites more durable?

I had a Tikka T3 stock done looks great IMHO but be sure to seal off the recoil lug cut out. The guy who did mine did not..but now it fits like a bedded stock with out the bedding...

I put 4 coats of clear coat on and it’s tougher than crap, I just did a crappy job when I dipped it as it was my first one and I tried useing a Rubbermaid tube that wasn’t quit big enough. The other ones I’ve done turned out much better, I just couldn’t find the pictures I took of them. I did this one about 6 years ago and use the gun lots every year in and out of a saddle scabbard and the clear coat has held up good. Someday I’ll sand it off and re dip it..

Had Liquid Customs just finish up this one for me. Matte clear that has some shine steel wool will take care of with ease.

I recommend Hydrographics Calgary. The guy is an absolute perfectionist and is professionally trained.

When you guys are dipping your rifles are you roughing up the stock a bit before the dip or just cleaning really well?
