I really really hated the black plastic stock on the Savage mk2 that I bought from my brother a few days ago.
I started by painting it a jungle stripe sorta camo that looked cool but I wasn't 100% happy with how one side turned out.
Today after work I decided to bite the bullet on attempting an idea I've had in my head for a long time, and my inner BUBBA came out.
The question
What if a rifle had a different camo on each side ?

I think the concept of having 2 different camoflauges on something is cool, but maybe better suited to the front and back scales of a knife or something like that than on a rifle stock.

It's definitely something different that's for sure. I can always strip the paint off if I really don't like it, but will be replacing this with a factory hardwood stock as soon as I can get a line on one anyways.
 
I was kind of inspired by reversible helmet covers, the WW2 usmc frogskin or Vietnam USGI Mitchell that have a jungle / woodland color on one side and arid version on the other.
it's a pointless novelty paint scheme, but at least it's not a punisher skull or flames.
Kinda reminds me of when I work with sheephorn. Same knife, same set of sheephorn scales:
