XTR FWT? Generally gloss Leupolds look just right on them. Or is yours an XTR sporter that is not quite as nice as a first gen XTR FWT?

It is a FWT, and the Leupold looks close to just right but I was just curious if there is something better. I figured on here I can ask people that have actually seen all the options in person. Can’t really tell from pictures.

I posted pics in the other thread. Like I also said, you are leaving out some useful info on whether its a short or long action. That could also influence what scope works best on your rifle. I personally have a hard time using a Leupold 2.5-8x36 on a long action rifle. No adjustment fore to aft in mounts that look good. It appears you also value how your rifle looks, since you do not like the matchup/pairing of the gloss Leupold to the XTR. Your base and ring choice is going to be critical as well..
