matte scope on stainless rifle
 

has anybody done this? does it look ok? if anybody has got some pictures i'ld like to see them. i realy like the savage 17 hmr w/ thumbhole stock and stainless barrel but i can't find a scope that is silver that i like, i really like the bsa sweet 17 series of scopes but was just wondering what they would look like together.

I mounted a matte Nikon on my stainless/laminate Ruger and I think it looks pretty good.

Got a matte Zeiss on my stainless Sako 75. Looks just fine.

I always use Matte black scopes with black rings on my stainless rifles.

Remington XCR in 375H&H topped with a Kahles 2.2-7X36 in Leuplod rings and bases.



Remington Model 7 in 269rem topped with a Kahles 2.2-7X36 in Leupold rings and one-piece base.

I have a couple Sako 75 with the synthetic stock, s/s barrel and matte scopes and they look good...

I like the Matt on stainless guns better the stainless on stainless. With the later, the colors seldom really match and I guess I prefer the more total contrast. This is even more true if I have a Black Synthetic stock. I am picking up my Stainless Savage 270WSM Varmit rifle next week and plan to put a Matt scope on that.

I agree with James B. I have a matte black Leupold VXII on my stainless/laminate Ruger and I love the way it looks. I'm going home over easter so I'll take pics of it if I can remember.

I would write "***** Eye For a Straight Guy" and ask their opinion. You don't want to be caught making a rifle fashion faux pas.;)

All my newer scopes are matte, regardless of the rifle finish. Personally I think they look goood. Don't own any SS scopes or rings for that matter.

Oh heck yeah - matte/ss/black.....even the "***** dudes" would agree it looks Purdy!

Here's a thought, they all go together in any combination. Guys don't give a flying flip about colors or patterns (except for camoflage which is easy to match up) so guy stuff is made to take the color coordination crap out of the equation. How many of you like me have a drawer full of blue jeans, a drawer full of black/white/gray/blue t-shirts, and a few flannel shirts in the closet where you can grab any combination and its good enough? My biggest dread is when my wife buys clothes for me, and I have to ask her "what the hell am I going to wear this with or to?"

Here is my Tikka T3 with a Leupold VX-II silver on it. I wish I would have put a matte scope on it.
