Seen a 350 RM in a 77 SS that was fine bead blasted after the owner took it home, looked nice, that's what I would want.

Distinctly recall seeing a glint/glare coming off a rifle FAR FAR off on another mountain side in Colorado years ago. I first saw the glint a few times before ever seeing the hunter, and finally picked him up in my bino's. That was probably a half mile to mile. Had it not been for the glare, I would never have known he was there.

It always stuck in my mind how a polished rifle can alert game after seeing that happen.
