How much gun camo is needed?

I recently purchased a Remington 870 "Express Turkey." Being that it was specifically entitled "Turkey;" I assumed it was suitable for hunting turkey. Since, my friends have commented that I fouled up and should have gotten a camo gun. However, this gun has satin hardwood furniture and matte parkerized metal, there is no glare or shine to this gun at all.

I've heard two schools of thought when it comes to turkey camo; one, you simply should not have any thing shiny that is going to attract attention, and the other, everything showing should be camouflaged so that there are no large solid objects visible.

Remington specifically states "A perfect turkey gun with the concealment advantages of our non-glare Express® wood and metal finishes." I would assume that would suffice, if there are any of you who believe I should or MUST wrap this gun in camo tape or conceal it otherwise, you're advice is appreciated. I tried to attach Remington's picture of the gun below, It may not work as this is my first post.
Thanks

I think your fine. I've used a matte finish before, just try to minimize movement and noise and you'll probably be fine. If your anything like me, you'll have more trouble getting them to you

If you are at all worried about glare or want cammo without ruining your current finish, you can purchase a cammo sock to place your gun in. Socks generally fit snugly and you cut trigger hole/action slide out to fit your particular gun. Nice, easy, cheap method of adding cammo to any gun.
