All the factory camo'd stuff that you see has been dipped.. that's how they get the camo pattern on there..

Be it guns, bows, ect...

It doesn't matter if you buy it already camo'd or if you have it camo dipped later.. it's the same finish.

Be very cautious sending scopes to be camo'd though.. alot of times it will ruin the scope.. 50/50 shot..
