RE: Gloss or matte scope?
I to agree with the "match the rifles finish". BUT I have yet to see any of the custom finished scopes from Leupold. In their custom shop you can get many different finishes including a gloss WHITE! They also have a silvery paint finish that I wonder what it would look like on say an A-bolt White Gold Medallion?
I would likewise like to find a "blue chrome" finish to match a 300Wby Deluxe Mk V of mine!
