They are ok. I wouldn't use one again though, the vinyl is shinier than I would like, I didn't like the seam joins - even if you can't see them you can feel them. I left mine on for maybe 8 months and when I pulled it off it tore in places leaving an ultra thin second layer, it lifted patches of the clear coat/stain off the stock and left sticky patches all over everything, it was horrible. The packaging promised it could be removed without leaving sticky residue

Rhino1, was that the GunSkins brand wrap you used? Or another brand? Yeah it was the gunskins brand, I also used the mossy oak kit to camo my Bear recurve bow and it also left a few sticky patches but it wasn't on very long at all

I'm thinking about putting one of these (gun skins or the mossy oak graphics) on a rifle. Any updates or new experiences? I'm particularly curious as to how these work on the checkering.

my son started playing with Rustoleum ultra flat camo paint
the only decision your really making is , that your gun will never not be painted
he did 2 guns I am playing with some spare stocks I have to get the pattern I like , his did come out really nice
scuba1 did a nice post a while back about his painted guns

Ours are still on our guns and holding up just fine too. And the guns are still killing turkeys, lol. They will be taking a trip to the NW US in a couple of weeks and I expect they’ll look the same when they get back. If you’re wanting to camo a cheaper gun I’d use it. If you have a nice gun I’d probably send it off to get dipped. As stated before, I’m tough on my turkey gun. Thanks Wanna Be, and with it going on four years now since your original post it sounds like it's durable. I have a rifle with a plastic stock that I would like to put this on. I think the vinyl skins would go on quicker and look better than a paint job. Did your stock have any checkering? Do you just warm it up and get it into the checkering the best you can with a plastic spatula?

I have the Mossy oak version of it was well. Its has worked well so far. Its not bad to put on, but will take ya a couple hours. I have it on an affinity A3, I even done the bolt. It still there after several shots. I have the same pattern as Wanna Be has on his. Just clean it good and use a good hair dryer.
