Agreed Jim......I prefer a shinny scope on a gloss blue rifle but I really like the VX3's optics and price range and they don't make it in gloss so both of my 527's have matt scopes.
The 700 Classic in the link I posted also wears a matt stainless barrel and the same 2.5-8.....another nice fit.
It's a 17rem on it's third barrel.
My beloved Fire Ball wears a 3.5-10.....it's a little big for the 527 IMO but I shoot it a little further and my old eyes need the extra magnification.

There should be some Gloss Leupolds new some where. I bought a VX3 2,5 x 8 Gloss from Natchez in one of their closeout sales last year. I bought my wife a rifle with pretty walnut and polished blue steel.

Have several leupold scopes and one is glossy. Have several El Paso Weavers, they all shine. The Weaver K series are cheap and if needing some work can be repaired by Iron Sight. They shoot as well as the Leupolds given equal power. Oddly enough, camo tape sticks to gloss finish very well.

PS: I don't much care for glossy/shiney in the woods.
I am..........disturbed.

Just bought a gloss VX-2 3-9x from grafs for my new Hawkeye African 275 Rigby, since I couldn’t find a fx3 6x42, I’m concerned because I’m a glossy Leupold guy, with blue and walnut rifles, too.
Old70 I got a gloss FX-3 I put on a RJ Renner Pre-War 77, but I had to order it. I bought a gloss VX3 1.5-5 for my African Rigby. I like the gloss Leupolds for a more classic look, in my opinion. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/xkIbjau.jpg)

Call or email the Leupold custom shop and ask. They are great to work with
