Default A Question of Fashion!

Maybe I should make this a " Poll" !? Just a stupid question to liven things up a bit (and to possibly keep me from making a dippy looking purchase!)

Stainless matte barrell and action.........Black matte synthetic stock........(here' s the tricky part)....stainless matte rings.

What color scope would you choose?

1. BLACK matte
2. SILVER matte

(To be specific I have a new Ruger 77RFP All weather with a Zeiss Conquest topper planned in the works.........might as well make her look as good as possible right?)

Sorry to say that I hate stainless guns. However if I had to have one I would go Black scope. Dull finish.

Whatever best matches the rims on your Cadillac Escalade. I would go with a gold finish to match my chains and the trim on my bling-bling mobile.


On the other hand, Hntngirl has better taste than I do

I' d go with the silver scope, but a lot depends upon the outfit you' re wearing that day. My skin tones look better with the Realtree Hardwoods camo or anything in a nice peach or salmon color. Of course shoes make the outfit! When I hunt in my red or pink hunting boots, I normally carry a matching rifle.

Seriously I don' t see where it makes a darn. Pick whatever you like.

A buddy of mine has the same gun with a matte black leupold. Looks nice. Gives a nice contrast to the rings.

I think the black scope would look much more manly, no question.

I was going through the same dilema with my muzzleloader. Stainless with black synthetic stock. I looked the silver scopes, rings and bases, but none of them matched the barrel. They say the silver will not reflect light, but it does. I went with the black matte scope, rings and bases.
