RE: camo is it needed?
No offence but I have to strongly disagree with the statement that real tree is the best camo patern on the marker today. The only reason that Realtree, mossy oak, advantage, etc... is so popular is in the marketing of the product.
The two best camp paterns on the market today are ASAT and Predator. These two break up the human outline better than any other camo out there right now bar none. These two may not have the amount of market share as the front runners but they will some day because the work so much better than the sticks and leaves paterns.
