They don't reflect anymore light than a blued barrel. " I do view Jim Waltz as a really good Presidential candidate" Bama_Earl

My main rifle stays up at camp all of hunting season, it can get a bit neglected at times, lucky to even get a wipe down. A blued rifle wouldn't fair so well...and it didn't have any issue taking a couple of nice bucks this season.

I have hunted for years with a browning medallion..gloss barrel,scope and stock.The clearcut i hunt the sun rises in my face in the mornings and i have had the same thought bout the gun shining and getting busted.Never seem to have had a problem though.

Of course, I use a full headnet with just eye holes when turkey hunting because I don't want ANY skin showing at all, while by buddy just uses a pull up style that covers the front from eyes down. We're overthinking this stuff. It's a non-glare, matte finish. We were on the edge of Eternia, when the power of Greyskull began to take hold.
