I think its rather basic, not sure what look you were going for but its not what I was expecting to see.

There all in a straight line, maybe throw in some smaller blotches in high and low areas.

Camo breaks up a silhouette (i.e., the edges), but only 3 of your blotches even touch the edge of the gun as you look at it from the side. I'd go back and add a lot more black blobs and dots, then come back with the white as an accent touch.
Your color selection (light base, dark blobs with color 2 and white as color 3) is very similar to the desert camo concept - you might look at the shapes/patterns and try to emulate.
An example from Google:

+1 on adding more design.
And the scope still looks exactly like a scope.
Keep at it, you'll get it.

go to where you plan to hunt and pick foilage and leaves, lay them down and spray over them. for a natural look, defiantly looking good. Alot better than i could do >.>
