I bought a used gun that was painted camo and don't like it. I just wish it had been left black synthetic. The reason being it's not chipping off in spots and has a run in one spot from whoever painted it. If you are a few feet away doesn't look bad but up close it doesn't look great either and I'm soo picky about stuff it bugs me. It also has a stainless barrel so I'm not sure what the benefit of painting the stock on it was as the barrel still is shiny.

I did however take a nice 8 pointer with it this year so I can't complain too much.
