Orange

[diopter]

Blaze orange on hunting firearms, interesting idea.

Some of those new Euro guns are down right weird!

If you're gonna have a plastic stock, it may as well be colored.

A nice change from everyone having camo everything, personally I would rather be seen then have some trigger happy hillbilly shooting at noises.

Nothing too new. A lot of the hunts in European countries are driven game, so it's a good idea to flash some orange.

Personally, I would rather not be seen, by game or hillbillies.

Agreed - why give them a better target - It's almost an invitation for them to scope you because... well binoculars cost money and are not needed if your rifle has a scope.

This right here^^^

Hard pass on the blaze orange stock for me, the only hi viz item I want on a firearm is an S&J 12g mag tube follower and fibre optic sights.

That Merkel is tame compared to the Weatherby Vanguard Blaze that came out a few years back..........

True that, and I bought two of those when they were el-cheapo

On a driven hunt it is not an issue. Years ago we would have a blaze orange " sock " or even a low tac tape over the forearm of the rifle when hunting in Germany. All other times the rifle is neked...

Mauser m03 had orange on it a while ago already. You can also get orange pieces for the t3x.

I couldn't resist picking one up in .308 from Wholesale Sports when they were blowing them out really cheap. Who in their right mind would pay anything near list price for one of these abominations...........
Had the Blaze stock on it for a couple years until I scored a Weatherby Vanguard Griptonite stock and changed it out but I still have the Blaze stock kicking around here somewhere.
