It looks stupid. My other gripe is that Swaro and Zeiss don't produce any silver scopes, why the discrimination? To be honest I only own stainless firearms because of where I live. I have nothing against blued firearms or black scopes, I just dislike the whole black on stainless look. I think it looks great ... prefer it. I don't see any point in stainless finished scopes. I own ... one, I think. Total. If you don't like them, don't buy them. Simple. Tom Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip. Here be dragons ...

With such gems as "Stumped on scope choice" and "How to remove Butler Creek covers" I'm shocked this one is the one that bothers you. Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

That's like having a lovely, "unfired", butter faced redhead around the house. If you were gonna, like actually shoot that puppy, what cartridges would you buy? What fresh Hell is this?
