I went to their site to discover that they offer not one single rifle scope in a gloss finish. I can't believe it! A matte scope just doesn't look right on a shiny blue traditional rifle. I had a shiny black Leuplold scope back in 90's on my shiny-blue wood-stocked Browning A-Bolt II.
If that's the case, I will just have set my iron sights (pun intended) on a nice vintage Savage 99 for the American deer woods and only hunt deer in the woods and forgo the notion of getting a nice vintage Husqvarna bolt-action rifle.
i just emailed Leupold corporate with the following message:
Pray tell me please, why are there no more Leupold rifle scopes in a gloss finish when there are still quite a few hunters in America who sport traditional blued rifles? I was on the market for a nice Swedish-made Husqvarna bolt-action rifle in a traditional blue finish. I don't fancy a matte scope, rings or bases on such gun. By the same token, I don't fancy any other name than Leupold mounted on any fine bolt-action hunting rifle. If this permanent demise of gloss-finish production scopes is the case, I will just have to seek out a nice vintage Savage Model 99 lever-action rifle for deer hunting woods of America and hunt only with iron sights. I don't fancy any scope on any lever gun as they don't look aesthetically pleasing on those American woods classics at all.
PS- Speaking of a Savage 99 and scopes, please check this young clown out on YouTube and see why American hunters are getting a bad name:
