The only one I know the spec's on is mine.

 

Rem 700 action chambered in .308 - its been blue printed and trued

23" Schneider 1-11 stainless barrel

worked over Rem trigger set @ 2.5 lbs (its a little heavy but it breaks like a glass rod)

McMillan A5 stock pillar bedded and then skim bedded in Marine Tex

Badger Ord detach mag system

Badger Ord over sized bolt knob

Badger Ord 20 moa rail

Bager Ord rings

SN3 optic w/ GAP reticle 

 

The action, optic, and mag sys is finished in CeraKote Dark Earth. The stock is finished with custom mixed DuraCoat in a MultiCam pattern. All of the smith work was done by G.A. Precision. The thing is a real tack driver and can out shoot me on any day.

Nice finish, Joe!  I have one rifle finished in Cerakote and another in the process of being Cerakoted, and I've been very impressed with not only the appearance, but the wear resistance of this finish.  How easy is it to mix different Cerakote base colors to get a uniform custom color, and are there any negative effects from doing so in terms of physical properties vs. the "pure" colors it comes in?  How would you rank Cerakote vs. other high tech metal finishes in terms of wear-resistance/overall durability?

 

Again, nice looking work!

It can be a real pain. You can lighten or darken colors but they dont blend well to get a different color (like making your own brown) There is a limited selection of "pure" colors. You can mix colors as long as you use the same series h & h or c & c. Dont mix a c & h. Mixing them has shown no ill effects in performance.
