Title: Camo patterns for turkey guns
Post by: WW on March 06, 2012, 09:25:33 PM
I've always liked bottomland as my favorite and wanted my gun dipped in that pattern, but after seeing a pattern called the ultimate camo pattern.........I think it's my new favorite. Y'all look it up, it looks just like the bark of an oak tree!

One of my most favorites for spring hunting would be Mothwing Spring Mimicry

Looks like the Realtree camo from 1992.

Yep, that's it.......Surehuntsalot, what choke does the best in that 835 on the bottom in the pic? I've got one just like that one.

haven't picked mine up yet, I'll try to get pics when I do. But I got my gun at the shop now getting dipped in this camo. You can play with the contrast in it too. Make it lighter or darker. The guy doing mine had many stocks in his shop that he was doing in various shades, and they all looked awesome!

Can't wait to get mine back.

I agree that this is an awesome pattern for a gun and it is the one that I will eventually go with. The company is not entirely alone in their approach to camo, though. Jim Crumley presently has two camos that are very similar,  Trebark® 005 and Outfitter Tuff® Camo (with leaves). (http://www.outfittertuff.com/camopatterns.htm)

It is interesting that you would mention seeing examples of base color manipulation to achieve a different total effect. I have a few ideas on this subject and will incorporate them into my gun base prep when I dip my 870.

you have heard this before,I'm sure,but the best choke that I have tried in that particular gun is a .676 stardot
no matter what lead load it is,it will throw a great pattern 5's and 6's work the best

I dipped a friend of mines 835 in Ultimate for this season. It was the factory greenish camo.

Why would anyone want that camo. If you would ever set your gun against a tree you could never find it again. :TooFunny:

I had my old black SBE sent off to get dipped in the Mothwing spring mimicry. Really like it. My SP10 is going to get dipped in mossy oak obsession. those are my two favorite ones.

I guess I'm just to vanilla but I really like the stock apg and max 4 colors.

I was really liking mossy oak obsession but that camo pattern is definitely growing on me.

Not that I can find! I have decided against having my 870 20 gauge dipped because the stocks are Advantage and you can't find that pattern anymore. i would love to dip the whole gun in Advantage.

Damon I'm with you on that one. That's my favorite and can't find it. Fortunetly I have 2 1300's and a turkey slayer in it. But if I could find it I would dip some more.
