Default is looks worth the extra money

OK guys i have been obsessing about weather or not to go camo on my muzzle loader. i have come down to the fact that it is a 130 extra.

Is it worth that much extra to you to buy something say camo that you like, that you think looks better. even if it is 130 more.
i would not think twice about not buying a camo bow over black.
It worries me if i do not get camo i will think i should have spent the money every time i look at the blue finish.

would you do is spending the money worth it on something just for looks
Would you buy a black bow.

I know this is a ml issue but to me it is a issue with any kind of hunting gear bow ml rifle what ever it is more of a looks issue for me not what kind of weapon.

I always gocamo if the price difference isnt much. For $130, I'd go with the black and put that into a better scope

well i budgeted 259 for the omega bdc scope. really the only thing i can see using the money for would be either a 3d target or a decoy.
I love the camo
i really can not believe it is that much of a deferents

Black & Blue would be my choice. Like Fats said - put the $130 toward a scope or other accessories. I really don't think the camo finish gives you that much of an 'edge'. Too much movement, especially at the wrong time will spook more deer than a blued finish.

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda! That's what you'll be saying next year every time you pick up that blued barrel gun that you didn't really want. On the other hand, a year from now you won't miss the extra bucks you spent for something you REALLY REALLYwant. Only you can decide how much you want it. Life's short, live large.

You will have the gun for say 20 years. Is it worth $6.5 per year to have exactly what you want. No question it is! Go for it.

Men love beautiful everything including rifles and women. You don't see many beautiful of either running around unattached do you? Buy the beautiful rifle, you will never regret it, and $130 is NOT a lot of money any more.
