The other day while hunting I leaned my gun against a fence and some of the blued got scratched off, is there anything i can do to repair this? It isn't a very big scratch but it just bothers me seeing it.

Yes, there is something you can do. Birchwood Casey sells a couple of different gun bluing products. One is a liquid that comes in a small plastic bottle, the other actually comes in a small marking pen, just like a felt tipped Sharpie. Neither of these products is what you'd want as a first choice, as they will not last as long as a factory bluing process, but they are very inexpensive, very easy to use, and can do a fine job touching up small dings and scratches. They are definitely worth a try. I've not used the felt pen version, but I have used the liquid that comes in a bottle. The key to getting decent results is to make sure that the surface you wish to touch up has been de-greased completely, otherwise the bluing rubs right off.
If you can't find them at your local store, you can order a felt pen version from Midway USA. They also list many other products that are worth looking into. Good luck.

Leave it alone. I know we all like our guns to stay "pretty" for as long as they can but if you are that worried about it gatting scrached you better not go hunting with it. Cause it's gonna get beat up over time.
