Camo or no camo?

[SpaceEater]

Ive already decided to pick up a remington 870 super mag.

Now the question is camo or no camo?

I intend to use this gun mostly for waterfoul, but also possibly slugs for deer.

the only camo this gun ive seen is the waterfoul/turkey. or black synthetic

I've never liked camo'd guns. As long as you're not using a super glossy gun, it all comes down to personal choice.

I don't really like gun camo. It shouldn't really matter, just stay still until you're ready to shoot.

I am a big fan of blue metal and dark wood. So my vote is no camo.

Camo is easier to maintain. All my hunting guns are camo...even my old 870's I had painted.

I love blued and wood stock but they are my upland and clay guns.

The remington matte type finish are notorious for rust issues. The painted ones don't have those issues.

Put it this way...the camo actually serves a purpose not just camo which is an added bonus.

All in all it's up to you but with the abuse I put my guns through especially waterfowl I really appreciate having a painted or wrapped gun.

I was thinking the same thing. With that camo paint job it will negate surface rust which I've seen happen over the course of a single day in the blind where it was wet and cold all day long. It was like watching corn grow where if you stare long enough you can practically see it happen.

Either way but if you plan on using it for ducks, go with a synthetic stock and fore grip. The wood will swell and crack after a couple seasons of duck hunting

[General]

Camo, yes!

[Freeballer]

Synthetic.

Duck or turkey hunting, especially a beginning hunter, I would go camo.

I would go with a quality cerokote job instead. Cheap factory camo jobs tend to wear poorly. I would buy, use it for a season to see if you love the gun. Then look into a cerokote job if it's a keeper. You can always rattle can in the mean time. It's just a duck gun.

Cerakote a 400 dollar Remington?? Just buy camo and be done with it I have 40 year old guns that have lasted and I just spray painted them. The factory stuff is even better. Sure it wears in spots but for a beater duck gun the camo will out last the gun. Cerakote is one of the more rediculous things I've heard with a duck gun.

I don't know of many hard duck hunters or turkey hunters that don't use camo guns. I would say the opposite most guys that have hunted for years and hunt more than opening weekend end up buying camo guns. Also a reason why the most popular duck and turkey guns happen to be available in mostly camo patterns. Shoot now a days it's hard to find wood stock and blued guns.

I don't like camo on firearms and I've never seen it to be a big advantage.

I'm usually set before the intended prey spots me.

I krylon camoed my Nova just because the barrel got a bit of surface rust on it from laying on a padded rifle case overnight. I haven't looked back, but it could use a few shots of touch up. Looking back now I should have just painted the barrel black with engine paint, but having the opportunity to make my gun super camo awesome seemed like a good idea at the time. The game wardens seem to like it whenever they check my mag capacity.

I don't think I'll ever buy a camo gun, the camo eventually fades or chips, is kind of slick feeling and, IMO, doesn't really matter anyway.
