It seems scope manufacturing isn't producing the silver or satin finish right now. I've been looking for a 3x9x49 to put on my Henry all Weather 45-70 . I might have to go matt black.
I don't think color plays into quality. All the tops brands made silver or satin scopes.It's just as well when it comes to silver scopes. The percent chance that you could match a silver scope to your rifle is about zero. Also, you would be buying the scope strictly based on its color and not its quality. I think thats why they became so unpopular. Not sure why gloss went by the wayside.
When it comes to black scopes, a gloss scope is a gloss scope and a matte scope is a matte scope. It does matter if its a leupold, nikon, bsa, or swaro. That is not the case when it comes to silver scopes. A leupold does not look like a nikon which does not look like a bushnell which does not look like a bsa. You had people trying to find a silver scope that best matched their stainless rifle which also all look a little different. People gave up trying and so they stopped buying them so the manufacturers stopped making them.I don't think color plays into quality. All the tops brands made silver or satin scopes.
You are so 90's or is that 80's?Rifles are supposed to be high polished blue, walnut stocks and gloss black Leupold scopes. Anything less is unacceptable.
It's still true today. Just because the manufacturers have convinced you kids that cheap plastic stocks and cheap crummy "matt" finishes are okay, doesn't mean it's true. We have the ability today to make guns that are far superior to anything made in the past. Even though some of the old timers like to get lost in the old days and do not believe that. But you kids today put price above all else. So you're stuck with quality guns that are ugly as chit. Ours were quality and extremely good looking. You kids need to work on that.You are so 90's or is that 80's?
I know my bench was a mess, but would this be an unacceptable rifle?Rifles are supposed to be high polished blue, walnut stocks and gloss black Leupold scopes. Anything less is unacceptable.
Other than that ridiculous looking silver scope, it looks almost as good as my 308 Recon LR-GII with a matt black scope on it.I know my bench was a mess, but would this be an unacceptable rifle?
Well…. I didn't want to hurt his feelings, he's obviously proud of it, and rightfully so. But he knows; it's a tool.You forgot to mention that the pistol grip doesn't match either.
And have a black tip on the fore end.Rifles are supposed to be high polished blue, walnut stocks and gloss black Leupold scopes. Anything less is unacceptable.
But this is another thing they have told us we don't need, in favor of lower costs. I didn't know they had done it with the silver though.
