I bet the waterfowl editon is camoflaged. Matte or flat black is just as good.

I use a 11-87 - 26" barrel for close in shooting over decoys on big water and could not be happier!

Mine is a SP model - Matte finish on the barrel and reciever. Now I do take this barrel off and replace witha SP cantlever barrel and go turkey hunting. This barrel is scoped with a Nikon Monarch turkey pro!
