I was looking at that rifle that Grouse mentioned and saw it was a fully camouflaged rifle. I have nothing against them. I have one rifle with a camouflaged stock, my Knight Disc. Its a sharp looking outfit. Personally though, I admit I like the looks of a wood stock, even a black composite stock, with just a blued or stainless steel barrel in it. Not that a camo weapon does not have an appeal. I do like them, just never owned one. And I better stop going back to that Sportsman Guide page or that could all change.

Here is the kicker.. a lot of companies think that a fully camouflaged weapon is an asset in hunting. Now I hunted for years for about anything I could get a license for. Never once, did I have a camouflaged weapon. Even turkey hunting, for yearsI used a old wooden stock, Stevens double barrel 12 gauge and I shot turkeys as close as 14 yards with it.

In your opinion, is a fully camouflaged weapon that big of an advantage. And if you like them for their camo appearance, I have no problem with it. I kind of like the looks of them too. BUT is it really an advantage or a marketing gimmick? What do you think?
