I bought this Rem 1187 new in the early 80's. This was my main turkey gun until I bought my Benelli. Do any of you folks know what camo pattern this is ? I havent seen this pattern on any of the new Remingtons. Thanks

One of my favorites for Spring as well. I don't think they still make it, but I bet some custom dippers can produce it.

It will be difficult to find a dealer that has that pattern for dipping!

There is some talk around Mossy Oak that they may bring back some of the vintage camo patterns in select clothing lines.  ie the "Vintage" MO Bottomland Camo they did a few years back.

IMO Mossy Oak's eariliest patterns were some of their most effective one. (Bottomland, Greenleaf, Fall and Full Foilage, etc.) Now days everything has to be HD and 3D, what happen to the sticks and dirt idea, that MO was founded on?

X2; it would probally be nearly impossible; If one of these dipping companies would do the old patterns I bet they would get a god bit of bussiness. I was told that tarjac is the one that did these original patterns. I cant swear to it though.

You don't want that old out of date scatter gun with an obsolete pattern. Send it my way.

Brings back vivid memories the first few years of Mossy Oaks existance,,,,,i believe i still have a light spring jacket that i bought way back then.





Yep still have the jacket and heres a better look at the pattern.

That's a classic Mossy Oak all right, but I think this pattern was called "Full Foliage". Greenleaf had smaller leaves like the jacket shown.

Good luck finding a dipper with that pattern in stock, it's been out of fashion for roughly a quarter century. If you run across a dipper with Realtree Xtra Brown, drop me a PM.

Best of luck.

No thats Greenleaf on the gun, the leaves look bigger bc the stretch in the dipping process. Full foilage had huge white oak leaves and was a lighter shade of green.

This is the closest thing you may find to match: HC 540

Weather its Greenleaf or Full Foliage, it really doesn't matter.  Both patterens are pretty close to each other.

I'll say this......... Back when it was popular, a hunting buddy of mine had the Full Foliage outfit and in early archery season, he would just disappear in the woods.  It didn't matter if he was on the ground or up in a tree.  Those large green leafs broke-up his outline so well, if I didn't keep my eye on him as he slowly walked through the woods, I'd loose track of where he was when he stopped moving.

The old reeltree green leaf was good too.   I bought a pair of full-foliage mo pants ,  (fall) and a green leaf top , top shelf stuff for sure.


I was going to post an old picture,  but cant find one .

Looks real similar to my turkey slayer.  I love this pattern.

People who don't get it, don't get that they don't get it.
