[QUOTE="levers4life, post: 2914154, member: 106617"] All the new scopes are matte finish. For some older classic blued rifles, they just don't look right. I'm always on the hunt for older Leupold, Redfield, Weaver, Etc. I just mounted a 6X old school Redfield on a Pre-64 Mdl 70 in '06, looks "correct", shoots even better. Found it at a yard sale for ten bucks. Even some of the Japan glass from the 60's - 70's is good quality stuff. My dad runs a 1969 Mdl 700 in .270 with a straight 6X Weaver. He's been shooting that combo with Remington Core-Lokt ammo since he bought it new at the hardware store. I wouldn't bet against him out to 500 yards or so, you might get embarrassed. That was an upgrade from a Savage 99 with a 4X Weaver! Wish I had that one back....... [/QUOTE]
