Re: Is the Remington 700 safari KS SS a good Rifle?

For Alaska I think stainless is the way to go--I just don't like it for Africa--Maybe I am wrong, but hate all the glare coming off when you are working that close to dangerous game..




I'm not sure stainless left alone is a great choice anywhere. It is quite easy to demonstrate the visibility of a gun in the woods or in the open, and I am pretty certain game can more easily pick up the silhouette of a stainless gun than the finish of a dull, darkish one.

I suspect that movement is more of a problem for a hunter than the mere color of his rifle, but though movement certainly attracts the eye, I believe the light color of a stainless gun is easily picked out against a darker background by game. It is very easy for me to see. Combined with movement, it screams alot louder than does a dull, darker or more background-colored/tinted rifle.

I find stainless guns particularly ugly anyway so I don't mind fixing the problem, which fortunately is easily fixed...
