I have a .308 that is cerakoted in silver, and I want to use it for hunting.  I'm pretty sure deer wouldn't see it but I would like your guys input also.  And what about other animals (coyote, cougar, bear)?  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks guys!
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.

I wouldn't worry about it too much since you'll be wearing a blaze orange vest for deer.

 :dunno:

And plenty of stainless steel rifles kill all the critters you mentioned. I think you'll be fine.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

 :yeah:

Reflection from a bright or shiney surface could be more of a problem.

That would stick out in the woods like a whitetail's tail. I had a whitetail come into an area and about at 80 yards he stopped and looked right at me through the small shooting space I had and saw my face all lit up by the morning sunshine. It took him about a second and a half to turn and run. So they would surely spot a shinny receiver or barrel. Stainless is pretty and weather resistant but easy to spot.
