I like the look of a silver scope with silver rings on a silver (stainless) hunting rifle. I don't so much like the look of a blue/black/matte scope on a stainless rifle.

what happened?

Leupold no longer seems to make them for rifles, Only few Nikons left at the mail order places.

I see a few handgun scopes, but not rifle scopes.

there are lots and lots of stainless rifles out there, stainless on plastic, stainless on wood....but not much choice in scopes to go with them.
