Maybe one of the new colors they have out now, something called Luminous color or something like that. They look like one color, but at different angle or light they show something else. Like it might look black, but in the light/angle it is a very dark green. I guess he will let us know. Bill K

Yeah, my truck is painted Bronze Fire. It looks different in varying light situations, mostly brick red. Just, try putting that on the vehicle registration or a theft report. You'll get a funny look. "What color is that"??

Took the .204 out with its partner m3500. However this was a 23 yrd job for the 12 ga. Stand only lasted 60 seconds but was a great stand despite 3 ft high grass. Was excited to try the new eotech on the shotgun and it is very nice.
