OK Guys, try this on for size, It's all a matter of perspective. Imagine being a turkey and at the last moment of you life looking directly down the barrel of a 10 or 12 Gauge H&R. Now with your eyes closed and really picturing the moment see the LARGE hole in the barrel. Try to tell me if you can see the camouflage color of the stock when a gun is pointing directly at you, I think and know not. It would not matter if it was black synthetic, walnut stained birch ala H&R or full camo. I ended up looking down the barrel of a loaded 30-30 from about 3 feet away one night before I retired, boy of boy, I can still see that BIG .308 caliber hole, probably never forget it, it looked big enough to crawl into! I also remember seeing his thumb on the hammer, It looked about 2 feet long! I remember his thumb starting to tighten and the hammer starting to ever so slowly be pulled back. It's odd how time expands and everything slows down at times like that. Needless to say I relieved the bad guy of his gun before the hammer reached full cock and had some up close and personal conversation with him, cuffed him when he finally decided to stop resisting and after securing him jacked out a 170 grain silvertip from the chamber. After transporting him to a cell and locking him in it I THEN started to shake!! I can vividly remember every second of the incident from when I began to look down that barrel but I sure can't remember what color stock the Marlin 336 had on it, until well after the "interesting" part of the incident was over....<><.... :grin: Camo is nice but not moving around a lot and an accurate shot is better.
