It'll hold up great under weather conditions etc.. The camo and stock are sealed in 4-5 coat's of matte clear to protect it from the elements, got camo on several of my shooters that have been there for several years and you can see that I have laid my shooters on the earth and in snow but their always wiped down after a hunt. Just run a slightly damp soft cloth over it if you get some earth on it. They will resist scratch's also as long as one's not dropping the shooter or kicking it around hehe God forbid hehe. I put my shooter's through their paces with the camo since I hunt year around.:) Ed
