I prefer the matte finished scopes over the gloss ones.Either the silver or matte black will look good on your Encore.If you have to buy one for this new Encore then you decide what you want. You said you already have one so use what you have.Save your money for a rainy day.I have a matte silver Leupold on my M-77 "All Weather" and it looks really good on it.Ruger Redhawk
