Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Show me your Stainless/Walnut rifle with Matte Scope

Same here....

Even though it's not a "walnut/stainless", here is a matte Vortex Viper 2-7x32 mounted on a M70 Classic Stainless .375 H&H. It's using low Talley QR rings and bases.

Also a fan on matte on stainless.

I like the matte on black but the matte on a stainless walnut doesn't go with the stock or the action....I don't like the stainless barrel with a blue/matte action either.

About the only thing I stand all S/S furniture upon,is a Walnut Dudelicker 10/22. For some reason it melds.

Other than that,make my base/rings/glass black matte...............

I have a stainless/walnut fwt in 300 WM. No scope on it now but I like the look of matte black scope and mounts with the stainless rifle. Thats how I had my winchester set up. as was mentioned earlier in this thread the silver will no be that close a match betwwen the scope, mounts and rifle. Besides, if you decide to sell the rifle or switch the scope to something else the matte black scope will look good with any rifle finish, wether polished/matte blue or stainless.

My problem with stainless guns and silver scopes is that everyone who makes a stainless gun finishes the metal differently. You end up with different shades of gray, or silver on the rifles. Same with the scopes. You rarely end up with a scope that matches the finish on your rifle. Black finish scopes look good on everything.

I have a M77 that came out of the box in SS/SYN & I dropped a matte scope on it. But I just picked up a walnut stock for it & the matte just doesn't look right with the all brown wood. At least a Rem CDL has the black forearm tip but mine is brown...period. I think I'm going to top mine in silver once I'm done with the bedding job.

My featherweight ss/walnut 6.5x55 has stainless bases, rings,and VX II 3-9x 40. If I were to do it over, I might put matte bases and rings on it to break it up a little. The Leupold scope matches the stainless gun pretty close, but with the scope, mounts, barrel all being silver you can notice the differences in color a little more.

Of course you're correct BUT a matte scope doesn't even come close to matching anything.....don't see how that's the answer..

I did however get my rifle today and since it's what I had it's wearing a Leupold FXIII 6x42.......in Matte!

I will get some pics tomorrow and post them up.

Robert

Thanks. Works a lot better now with the added weight.

Here's mine or ummm my sons new rifle:)

That's a freakin beauty, how does it shoot. BSA.

It is wearing a Shilen barrel and has shot 1� groups with every 200 or 225 gr. bullet that I have poked through it. It is honestly a real shooter�CP.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Better hang on to that one.

Guess I'm not the color coordinated type guy. I have a blued receiver on an old Featherlite with a stainless Hart bbl, and a gloss 2.5x8 Leupold sitting on it. Seeing as it shoots sub 1/2' groups with boring regularity, it's beautiful to my eyes.

I have mixed & matched scopes on all most all my rifles, and just don�t give a hoot what color they are as long as they all shoot to point of aim.

Respects,
