Yep, that`s a beautiful rifle. Leave it. Use the camo wrap ( I have, they work ).Like many........leave it.
Ok I just want to see what everyone thinks about this . Camo it or leave her as is ? Browning 1885 low wall in 22 K Hornet . Bought the rifle to predator hunt with View attachment 1117497
I have already changed the value of it by converting it to a K Hornet! It shoot better after the conversion. But still decreased the valueOne thing is for sure, you will hurt the value of it if you do. If I wanted to paint a rifle, I’d probably pick something else.
However, I see brand new cars that people have covered the paint with a plastic wrap, so there are certainly tastes out there that I don’t understand.
I do have a rifle that I purchased years ago, stored in a hot water heater closet by the previous owner. Like new in function, bore and wood but exterior metal freckled with surface rust. I have thought about having it dipped before (hydrographic camo seems to hold up better than paint) but it still kills stuff the way it’s always looked…
It's been converted to a K Hornet already so loading isn't a issue. & Head spacing off the shoulder took care of the flyer issue from most Hornet riflesPut me in the "leave it be" camp. Get a hunting rifle in a better caliber for actual shooting if you need a camo gun. Shoot this one on Sundays. The only thing really going for this gun is the looks and nostalgia. So why scrap that value to make a mediocre hunting gun? Yes, I have hunted with a .22 Hornet. Liked my .222 Rem. Mag better for loading and shooting.
That's called " good, honest wear."
predator hunting blaze orange is not a requirement. I carry a orange beanie in my pack so if I get something I don't get shot carrying it out .No you should not camo that rifle. Some dime a dozen AR15 or plastic stocked bolt action - go for it. Ruin whatever little value those guns have.
I don't get the spray on camo thing. Unless you're playing rambo, have Red Dawn fantasies WOLVERINES!!! or are actually in the military, what's the point when wearing a blaze orange hat and vest? I wear blue jeans hunting.
