I have never had an issue with scaring game with my weapon finish that I can tell.
Its more the movement, wind direction control, and sounds you make that are most important.

I have hunted for years with Recurve, Long bow, and black powder rifles. This stock is going to be scratched up yes, for sure! It has a few already. But, this is a hunting rifle, no more no less. And it has done quite well for me so far!
