Hello, all.
I have a Beretta A400 in Max4 camo.
Will this stick out like a sore thumb in the woods to a turkey?
Thanks!
Steve
I think you will be fine if they are that close to spook from that you should be shooting. I have had them within a few feet before and that was when I had a solid black gun.
I wouldn't worry about it. I been hunting with a max 4 gun for several seasons now and haven't had any problems. All my previous guns were blued and wood and they didn't seem to spook them either. I did eventually take to camo taping them up just to be on the safe side, and to help protect the finish though.
You'll be fine.
Thank you, guys.
My SBE2 is MAX4 - The bird didn't seem to notice it at 20 yards this past week... :)
Nice, taylorjones20!
Turkeys can not tell the difference between a stick and a gun.
If you let them get close enough to inspect the finish on your gun you've already messed up.
Have never had a bird see my Shadow Grass Browning. They see dead grass every day of their lives. Also haven't had any spot my black guns. You moving is what will get you busted, not the color of a gun.
same camo on my 835, not a problem
Thank you, guys!
I thought I may have been a little (ok.. a lot) anal about the camo. I just hear how good a turkey eyesight is and the ability to see color. But, I assume movement is more a culprit than varying camo patterns.
Thanks, again.

I have a max4 SBE II. It drives me a little nuts but it is more than fine in the woods. Down here in south Forida everything is green and I have this tan/brown gun.
Thanks, Ross R!

Don't over think it. I've had full camo turkey guns, but only only own 1 of them now. My 2 go to turkey guns are black and I never have a problem. When I first started I hunted with a Remington 870 wingmaster that was wood and shiny blued, I killed a pile with that gun.
Max4 blends in great on the woods floor and good in the treestand too. In many cases i prefer it. My aimpoint scipe is max4 on my mossy oak break up gun. In pictures taken after a kill most times my scope is hard to detect.ive had to tell people hey see my scope?
Thank you, darn2ten and outdoorsmen!

:agreed:
Lots of turkeys have been killed and are still killed with wood stocks and blue barrels. Movement is the key. Even a pretty camoed gun that is swung around like a baton will be seen.
Thank you, jblackburn!
