The gloss VX2 should work great. Especially a 2-7 or 3-9.

I've paid little attention to gloss or matte when choosing a scope for a gloss blued rifle though, and most of my blued rifles wear 2-10's.

I've got the same rifle. If offered that deal, I'd have two.

Sounds like you're already set for scope and mounts.
