silver or matte scope

[Guest Jcochran88]

Ok guys, so I am fixing to purchase my first stainless action rifle. So my question is should I go with silver scope and rings or just stay with matte. I really like the look of both, so not sure what to do.

[Guest Jcochran88]

Really no one has any thing to say on this......

Matte ! !

I have a couple of stainless rifles one with silver scope and matte rings, the other with matte scope and stainless rings. I think they look good both ways, as much as looks really matter. There are a whole lot more options with matte scopes though. Not a lot of silver scopes out there really.

I had the same problem arise a while back. I feared that the silver on the scope would not match up just right and look goofy. I choose a matte scope VXIII 2.5-8 with stainless rings for my stainless Ruger M77 MKII in 350 REM MAG. I like the look. But as with much in the gun world.....to each their own.

Wow I too have a ruger M77 MKII but mines in 30-06 with a thumbhole stock. Ive always cheeped out on optics but this time Im holding out for the Nikon Buckmaster 3x9x40 in silver.

[Guest Jcochran88]

Never really thought about the silver not matching up. Now I am sorta leaning more towards matte.

[Guest GunTroll]

That was the deciding factor in my choice.

its gotta match up, imho

[Garufa]

Yep.

Another way to think about it is...would you put a silver scope on a black, blue or whatever they are now rifle?

I have a stainlees steel revolver with a black scope, looks alright I guess. Thats the way I bought it. I also have a SS 10/22 thats got a silver Nikon Pro Staff that looks good, so really its just whatever trips your trigger.
