What's the Cheapest/Best Way to Camoflauge a Rifle?

I went old school with my M-44 and wrapped it in burlap, several feet of twine, and local foliage. Basically, I made a ghillie suit for my rifle. Lots of fun, looks great, and it isn't permanent. No mess of any sort to clean up, and if I don't like it, it takes only a few seconds to undo.

Wow, you guys have bigger cojones than me! There's no way I could take a firearm worth hundreds of dollars and put spray paint on it! NWIH. I can't even force myself to re-paint the metal parts on my old Enfields that were previously painted black to begin with, even though they need it.

That Vanguard I painted? I have $700 in it. That's rifle, scope, and mounts. That is probably a minimum dollar amount for a journeyman hunting rig. I am out zero dollars on resale. It's only paint for cryin' out loud. It is totally removable with little effort.

When I was in the Army I understood CAMOUFLAGE, but in civilian life, what`s the deal ?

Not only the military needs camoflage. Ever hear of hunting?

It was fun and amused me. You know... different strokes.

That guy painted a high dollar trijicon ACOG's light collector thingy didn't he? Isn't that bad? Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that interfere with the optics ability to allow available light sources into the optic?

If you painted the fiber optic, yea, that would probably tend to dim things a bit.

Then again, as long as the paint wast permanent, its easily fixed.

I thought he did at first too, and started to post something about it a while back, but the closer I looked, the more I thought I saw some tape masking it. I don't know.
