i agree.....a good bluing job will shine when most stainlesses are silver in color but more or less matte and dont have that shine like chrome...and i also agree by the time the deer see you and react it should be way to late for them if you are going to take it...i hunt close quarters....most shots 30yds or so....ive moved on deer and they didnt have time to react...you can tell they seen you by the look they give you....but htey dont have time to run and id love to see a deer jump a bullet going 3000fps at 30 yds lol....id say buy what you like...
