Hey all, new here, decided id say hello, introduce myself and ask a question ? Hello all, Im a CNC programmer and Machinist, and I love killing song dogs !
Anyhow I have Question, It might seem trivial, but im particular about these things, especially fit and finish of firearms and scopes (The machinist thing, I hate to see substandard work when usually a couple more minutes effort will usually yeald a much better product) I bought a Remington Predator model 7 in 22-250 and i mounted a leupold scope, didnt like it so i ordered a Nikon coyote special 4.5-14 x 40 in mossy oak brush same camo as rifle right ? Wrong, scope is brown, gun is green, anybody else have this ? i know the dogs cant see it, but i think it look rediculous.
Need solution or im in search of a new scope. Actually thought about having it re dipped but they wont gaurantee a scope so im hesitant to do that, I really like this rig too, shoots better than i can and rolls dogs like someone erected a brick wall in front of em ! Any Suggestions i really dont want to put this scope back in the box !

And Yes I keep Fowl !
 
I too have noticed that the Mossy Oak brush varies but I am not sure what to do unless someone else has a green scope and would swap.
 
An unfortunate trend with all camo I have used........

It is even evident when picking through the coats on the rack at the sporting goods store.

Welcome aboard Coopslave. Glad to have you!
 
Hey all, thank you for the welcome !

Id like to post a pic but i cant find the file manager link referred to in faq, Anyhow it stinks when stuff isnt what is expected, I think that the prices we pay and the quality of products we get nowadays are not equal. Im gonna vent on Nikon and/or Remington. I hate that if i want to see any firearms or scopes in person i gotta go to gander mtn. Not my kinda business, wont go there. anyhow just wondered if anyone else experienced this. good day to all

I'd vent on Remington. MO Brush needs to stay brown to work in my stomps......

To kill all the birds with one stone, it would make more sense to ream the camo company (in this case, Mossy Oak). There should be a standard of consistency demanded from all that are licensed to re-produce the patterns.

I have noticed quite a bit of variance in some dip jobs, when compared to the pattern as shown on the originators web-sites.

I have no problem either way, i just think it should be one or t'other ! And I think Ill yank all three chains ! I hear Savege wants my business and Bushnell and Realtree and you get the pic, im surely done with remington and nikon as well as mossy oak if i dont get some satisfaction. Oh well i like my old weatherby and its early yet, if i new this id have just bought a stinkin scope cover for 14.99 to fit the leupold ! it was clearer anyhow ! And This Aint my first go round with Remington, but will be my Last !

Thanks for the support and the bendin of your ear !
 
Wow, you're joking right? You would quit buying from a high quality manufacturer because you didn't like the shade of their camo. A little research would have shown you that Remington uses a green shade of brush camo on their predator models.
 
Im not jokein, its not that i didnt like it, I was misled these were supposed to match, and your right its remingtons pattern that is off. And the reason manufacturers get away with this stuff is because people like yourself dont demand better, and if remington is going to use a different "shade" they should publish that, no ?
 
Wow, getting all huffy because of the color of your rifle, huh? I looked a 3 seperate Model 7 predators and 3 seperate Nikon scopes and guess what, I saw at least 4 different sades between the 6 items. Remington is not using a diferent "Shade". My model 7 with the Nikon looks great. Do some homework and dont go blaming someone else for your lack of investigation.

My opinion is that MO Brush should be MO Brush, period....don't think it should vary shades, etc. I was more than a bit peeved myself when I ordered NatGear BDU pants and a fleece jacket and they were two different colors. I understand manufacturing processes could be a bit off, but to say that Remington's dip is a 'green' shade is just wrong. The camo stuff is at a premium price anyway, they ACTUALLY should listen to the sportsmen that are the end users...

First off im not getting huffy, or blaming anyone, but the manufacturers. secondly I dont have the luxury of living in or near a city,(thank the lord for that) ! If you want it here you order it ! The products we get are only as good as we demand, if we dont demand quality we are not gonna get it ! Last, it aint about the rifle, scope or camo ill just paint the thing, its about people being held accountable, maybe you remember a time like i do when you didn't even have to worry about things like that. if it wasnt right they made it right ! If you like buying these products go for it, me i will buy from the people that treat me right, I may own this rig, but i wont own another. I didnt come here to start anything. but ill end this before it gets out of hand ! my apologies to any one who thought i got out of hand ! thanks again for all the effort !

have a great day all !

Coop:

I feel your pain. I'm pretty picky also--some might refer to it more appropriately as "anal". I sent an older but very functional Leupold to be dipped to match my Savage Predator Hunter. The rifle is green tint like yours and the scope came back brown. I really think its Mossy Oak's problem. There isn't a coyote alive (or close to being dead if you know what I mean) that will ever be able to tell the difference but I can. I won't take it out on Savage or the dipper though. I believe it's MO's issue. I'm not sure why they can't keep their stuff consistent. Other camo makers seem to have mastered it and MO seems to do a pretty good job on their other patterns so why the issues with Brush? Dunno. Otherwise, Mossy Oak Brush is still one of my favorite "colors".

Might be your next new rifle and might involve something as "insignificant" to me as the composition of the steel used to make your new chamber, heaven forbid ! but maybe that will get my point across to ya. And i just got off the phone with remington and they ARE indeed using a green base not brown !
have a good day !

and how was it you were helping ?

I have quite a few articles of clothing that dont match 'perfectly' I dont think ant of the critters i have killed have ever noticed the 'mis match' I guess there is no way that remington and nikon comb will shoot straight without the colors matching. Oh well, i guess i have bigger issues to worry about then my freaking rifle matching my scope perfectly! And n sir, you have a Great day.


Quote from my last yote: "Oh my God, his rifle so doesn't even match his scope. What a loon. OWWWWW that hot lead hurts, now I'm dead."
 
I know your only trying to help, i can see your that type of individual, My last yote didnt say anything none of em do,they just die ! was you feeling alright the day you shot that yote, no fever or nothin ?

In coopslave's defense, I have gotten rid of rifles for much less....I had a rifle once that wouldn't shoot a deer. I could punch paper perfectly at any range with it, but it wouldn't touch a deer. Strange huh??? I killed 3 deer that season with a different rifle, but none with this one. I know it wasn't me. I am convinced it was the rifle!!!
 
Actually, i never even thought of getting rid of it, i actually like the rig, the whole Problem is Mossy oak brush is not Mossy oak brush ! and i feel i was misled by the manufacturers. You see Mossy oak is patented and trademarked, So the Patters should match no matter where or what i get them on. its not just a shade or two its extreme ! its like someone taking thier GM car in to have the door fixed at a GM garage after a fender bender, and they gotta paint it, say its GM's Aqua Blue, now he gets it back the whole car is Aqua blue and the door is some other blue, but the GM guy Says Its GM's Aqua blue, sorry about your luck !

How many more GM'S you want to buy ? Even though it runs just peachy !

Later Coopslave
 
You guys are killing me. I dont own any camo that matches. I killed many dogs in levi's growing up while bird hunting with a scatter gun. Get back to basics.
