I also considered that, if hunting, I don't need anything flashing in the woods.
You could hunt with one of your non - flashy guns and keep the 'flash' to the range or non-serious hunting such as varmints.
I hear Ya Ed, however, my collection is limited due to finances, so I have to keep my priorities in the right place when making a gun purchase. Don't own a lot of options.

I wouldn't discount hunting with a brass rifle.

The 'flash' could be an issue but it think its overstated - considering all the other things I see 'hunters' doing that are much more likely to inhibit success than the possibility of a little 'flash'.

My Henry has a few character marks on it now, just from wear and tear, and packing it horseback in the bush. All good.

Totally disagree, Whenever I hunt, I am not stupid, wear appropriate clothing and anti scent preparedness. Don't need a shiny gun to defeat all other efforts!!!

One thing I do with my stock cover, is put a layer of plastic saran wrap over the brass butt plate to keep it off the leather and avoid turning the brass green. Works good.

I guess. I never realized the little red dot was a tongue. Thought the face represented an exuberant happy face.

I like you too Mark. If you weren't so far away we could be in real life I think, good shooting buddies.
