Remington 700 stock

[dye]

I'm looking for some suggestions or ideas. I recenently purchased a rem 700 varmint SPS with the black synthetic stock. The palm swell and the forearm rubber grips are grey, not black. The more I look at it, the less I like the contrast of the grey against the black, and am wondering if anyone has any ideas of how I could color or dye the rubber grips black, and what product to use? I would like something that is permanent, that might not wear off, and have to reapplied periodically. BTW, it's a .204, with a 26" bbl and shoots like a dream, even with factory ammo. My 1st Remington weapon ever. I'm very impressed!

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I use Sharpee pens. When I'm holding the rifle, I can't see it anyway. I'm not joking.

There are much better/ stiffer factory stock options available for your rifle. The used hs precision stocks sell around 250 to 275 or you can buy a new bell and carlson for that amount as well.

I've stiffened the factory Tupperware to decent. Bed the recoil lug and around the front screw, tubes in epoxy in the fore end hollows.
$20 and some time.

Rit dye should work. Works on plastic too.

I'll second the Rit dye.

Please post pics when you do it, rubber and certain plastics can be tough to dye...
