Gloss scopes
 

I just ordered a new Ruger #1b and was going to put a Zeiss Conquest on it. The problem I have is that the conquest only comes in matte and silver. I then ordered a new Nikon monarch in gloss but Nikon has not shipped the new gloss ones yet. I know Leupold has several gloss scopes but I am trying to avoid Leupold as I do not believe the VX series offers much bang for the buck. What scope finish do you guys that buy blued guns use?

Scope finish would be the last thing to "worry" about if it were me. The Zeiss Conquest is a quality scope,that's the most important thing...

Why do you want a shiney scope? That is just another thing to catch a deer's eyes. Get the Conquest.

RE: Gloss scopes
 

Majority of my scopes are matt black, even on ss I buy matte black.

Bushnell Elite use to offer gloss models??

This gun will not be my primary hunting tool. I already have 3 synthetic stock, matte finished rifles that will see most of the time in the field. I am buying this gun primarily because I have always thought it to be one of the best looking weapons available. With that in mind, that is why I am concerned about the way the scope matches the rifle. I will use it primarily at the range with an occasional hunt in between.

I believe the Burris Signature Select comes in gloss. Hard to find a better scope for the money. The Pentax Lightseeker is the same scope. But I like the VX3 and the Zeiss Conquest. I used the think the conquest was the most bang for the buck, but the other makers are rapidly catching up.
Or maybe go the other way. Find a used Weaver V, Older Japanese Burris, or maybe a Redfield. Good glass and nice older gloss look. I have a couple of older but mint Pentax that were made by Burris in COlorado back in the 80's. Nice glass but older style scope. They are all gloss and have a nice look.
