RE: matte scope on stainless rifle
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.

RE: matte scope on stainless rifle
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.
