I bought an unfinished Boyd's Tacticool stock for my .22 bolt-action rifle so I could try my hand at staining/finishing it. It's nowhere near as good as it would have been if my dad had done it, but I'm pretty proud of the outcome. 8 applications of Kona colored Varathane stain, followed by 2 applications of black Varathane stain, and 4 coats of semi-gloss varathane polyurethane. After it dried, I lightly took 000 steel wool to it to make it matte-finished and a bit worn looking. It looks great (in my opinion) and feels really great to hold. Still waiting on a few parts from Savage to attach the action to the stock, so it's just resting in for the photos, and don't mine the missing trigger guard.. It's in the mail.

I’d like to introduce to you the tacticool strobist bag. I was in the market for a bag for my new Gitzo 1541T tripod but wasn’t happy with anything I found. Most were too bulky and/or long, which defeated the purpose of having travel-sized gear. Speedlites are my strobe of choice for their portability and convenience so in that vein I also use Manfrotto 001B Nano light stands (19″ when collapsed), and double-fold umbrellas. Luckily, I found a bag that fits everything! You can find it at County Comm (I love this place).
Meet the Maratac Extreme SAT-COM bag.
