Let me get this straight. I will be hunting with a silver colored scope gleaming in the sun for what animal??? There are so many things gleaming in the sun out there that a silver scope would be the least of worries....... Funny post not all things gleam like silver and any glinting immediately gets the attention of most game animals. Dog I rescued in January
