Gloss or matte scope?

coolbrze0 · 07-28-2005, 07:10 AM

Just out of curiosity, what finish scope is your favorite for a gloss "shiny" barreled rifle, gloss or matte?

"My favorite"???? Mine would be gloss on a shiny bbl., but it's YOUR money, so what do YOU like best????

I have a matte scope on a blue barrel and it looks fine.

One point I would like to add......I see many more glossy used scopes with scratches on them , then I do matte scopes. What do people think, does the gloss scratch easier, or is due to the fact that there are more old gloss scopes around?

I like to match the finish of the rifle...

Depends on the Rifle stock for me. For example, I have a glossy on my M700 BDL Custum Deluxe and a matte on my M70 Winchester.

I prefer the matte finished scopes, no matter what the rifle's finish is (blued, stainless, etc.).

Yes, I much prefer the matte finish rings and scopes on all my rifles. I just don"™t like the glossy finish.

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!
