SeaFire,
About the only thing I can add is that the pattern is Natural Gear. It matches the rest of my camo, I don't have a closet full of camo, just what I need. I try to control my calling equipment instead of the advertisers telling me what they think I need. It's worked for the forty years of calling for me (not the NG, the equipment part). The rifle was dis-assembled, dipped, then dipped in a clear rubberized coating that I really like.
