Camo gun...really?
« on: September 26, 2010, 02:52:50 PM »
I see camo guns everywhere. Are they really worth it? I'm trying to see the benefit of a gun with camo print. I can't bring myself to spend the extra $100.

hey you really don't NEED to... but if you want to, that's a totally different thing....
but you really shouldn't spend the money if you don't have it or should spend it on other things like decoys or something...  :chuckle:

I dont have one. Black works just fine as long as it doesn't shine

if your gun isn't camo you won't get as many ducks.  It's just the way it is, sorry  :bdid:

the nice thing is I have a mossy 835 with the 'woodland' camo. it's basically a rattle can paint job. It's 11 years old this year, my daily shooter. it was before they really went hardcore with the cornstock and more detailed camo jobs. I got it at wholesale so no price complaints.. and since it really is just a sprayed on camo job, if it gets scratched or anything it's easy for me to touch up.

I think the best benifit from the modern camo is they are "dipped" and not painted.The camo film is extra protection from the elements like salt water.
I know its much cheaper to buy the factory camo than to have one dipped at a later time.

Is the camo needed.....................nope.Guys killed birds forever with brightly blued guns.
Is the extra protection worth it.......................yep and they look nice also.
You already bought camo head to toe so why not have a gun thats camo as well.Its one less thing to worry about flairing birds if shine could be an issue.
Lord forgive me for I shoot hens

Camo guns suck, barrel stickers don't show up nearly as well as they do on a black gun!!!

my bps has a nice camo on it and the texture of the stock makes it easy to grip. Is camo needed to kill birds, no.

You really don't need a camo gun.  They just look cool.  Maybe it helps for turkey.  I didn't own a camo gun until 1998.  I did just as well back then as I do now.  Several of my shotguns camo is wearing off and they now look pretty bad.  The main reason I get them coated or in camo is to help keep the rust down.  It help protect the components way better.  If you hunt salt you can start to see rust before you get back to the boat launch otherwise.

A couple cans of camo spray paint, some leaves or twigs for a template, and you can do it yourself.
