Does a tactical rifle (bolt action) need to be matt, I have a Savage 12 FV in .308 with a deep gloss blue finish and a jewel bolt.

Is it really important anyhow or are you worried about urban combat in Montreal? </div></div>

+1 make your rifle the way YOU want...
 
Re: Matt or not matt

+1 to the above advice as long as it's not for use on two way ranges.... shiny stuff stands out in most environments.... Then again, there was this "Ol Jarhead who used to run around the jungle with a big "ol white feather stuck in his boonie hat.... but that's a whole nother story......
 
Re: Matt or not matt

Thanks guys. The reason why I asked this is because I have the opportunity to trade my brand new 12FV for a brand new 10FP.

No problem! Many more gave more than I though..... and still are! 8+ of the best years of my life!! Wouldn't trade that time for anything, even though I came away significantly disabled the abilities gained far outweigh the disabilities!!
